Privacy Policy

1.Who we are

We are the exclusive importer of FABER and AIRFORCE appliances for the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. We manage sales on the Slovak market from the Czech Republic; we have no establishment in Slovakia.

We have not appointed a data protection officer. Please direct any questions to the e-mail address or registered office address given above.

2.What this policy covers

This policy describes how we process personal data obtained through the website digestory.sk (including its English language version) and in connection with it. It also applies to data you provide to us by phone, e-mail, post or in person – for example when you contact us with a question or a service request.

For the Czech website digestore.cz, the Czech language version of this policy applies. The controller is the same in both cases and the scope of processing is the same; only the language of the document, the supervisory authority and the rules on direct marketing differ. However, you give your consent to cookies separately for each domain, because it technically cannot be transferred between the digestore.cz and digestory.sk domains.

In case of any discrepancy between this English version and the Slovak version, the Slovak version prevails.
