Privacy Policy · GDPR
The operator of the ECLI mobile application (hereinafter referred to as the “Application”) is:
(hereinafter referred to as the “Operator”).
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data the Operator processes, for what purposes, on what legal basis, how long it retains such data, to whom it may disclose such data, and what rights the user has under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (“GDPR”) and the applicable laws of the Slovak Republic.
Depending on how the Application is used, we may process in particular:
In connection with a catch, we may process in particular:
The Application allows the user to:
A photograph may contain a fish, the user, the user’s face, or other persons. If a natural person is identifiable in the photograph, the photograph may constitute personal data under the GDPR.
We may process:
If payments are made through Stripe, the payment data required to complete the transaction are processed by Stripe. The Operator does not normally store complete payment card details.
We process personal data in particular for:
One of the main purposes of the Application is to create and develop a database of individual fish. Based on photographs and catch data, the Application may create a historical record of a specific fish.
Such a record may contain, for example:
The purpose is to enable identification of the same individual fish at different points in time and to track its development. This may include, for example, tracking:
Photographs and catch data may be used for the development, testing, validation, and improvement of technologies enabling automatic or semi-automatic recognition of specific fish.
This may include in particular:
The purpose of the system is to identify a specific fish, not to identify a natural person depicted in the photograph. If the Operator uses technologies for automated image processing, the result of such processing may be used to create or update the record of a specific fish.
A photograph of a catch may contain the user’s face. The Operator generally does not process facial image data for the purpose of uniquely identifying the user. The user’s face may form part of a photograph of a catch as a natural visual component of the photograph.
If the Operator introduces technology intended to identify persons by their faces in the future, the user will be specifically informed about such processing and the Operator will ensure an appropriate legal basis.
If permitted by the features of the Application, the following information about the user may be publicly displayed:
The scope of publicly displayed data will depend on the settings of the Application.
The user may voluntarily share a photograph of a catch directly from the Application to social media or other external services. When shared, the photograph may automatically be supplemented with the name, logo, or other designation of the Application. Sharing is initiated by the user. After the photograph is sent to a social media platform, further processing of the photograph is subject to the terms and privacy policies of the respective social media platform.
The Operator processes personal data according to the specific purpose, in particular on the basis of:
a) Performance of a Contract
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
b) Compliance with a Legal Obligation
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
c) Legitimate Interest
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
This may include in particular:
d) Consent
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where consent is required for the specific processing.
Given the purpose of the Application, it may be necessary to retain photographs and catch data on a long-term basis. The reason is that the system for recognizing individual fish uses historical photographs and data to identify the same individual fish in the future. Individual photographs may therefore remain valuable even many years after they were created.
The Operator may retain photographs and catch data even after cancellation of the user account if there is a legal basis for their further processing. Where technically possible and appropriate, data that are no longer required to identify the user may be separated, pseudonymized, or anonymized.
Cancellation of the user account may not automatically result in the deletion of all photographs and historical catch data. The data may be retained to the extent necessary for:
If further retention of specific personal data is no longer legally justified, the Operator will take appropriate measures to delete, anonymize, or pseudonymize such data.
Personal data may be disclosed in particular to:
Where a recipient acts as a processor, the Operator will ensure that an appropriate agreement is in place pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.
Where personal data are transferred outside the European Economic Area, the Operator will ensure appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.
Under the GDPR, the user has in particular the right:
These rights may be restricted in cases provided for by applicable law.
The Operator takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, damage, or misuse.
The Application may request:
Each permission is used to the extent necessary for the relevant feature.
The Application is not intended for persons under the age of 16 without the appropriate consent of a parent or legal guardian to the extent required by applicable law.
The Operator may amend or update this Policy. The current version will be available in the Application and/or on the Operator’s website.
The user has the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic.
This Policy shall enter into effect on 10 August 2026.
