The Administrator’s personal data protection obligations arise from:
I. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) – this Regulation 2016/679 hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR” – with effect from 25 May 2018; and
II. Czech Act No. 110/2019 on the processing of personal data, as amended (the “Personal Data Processing Act”).


2. Specification of my personal data managed by the Administrator:
a. a. the data provided in the application and its attachments relating to me
b. the data I have provided to the Administrator associated with my application insofar as it relates to me, for example, my date of birth, place of residence, photographs, details of my family circumstances, details of my educational results and sporting achievements, details of my social status and health
c. data obtained by the Administrator from publicly accessible sources in the process of verifying the data provided in my application (e.g. data from the Cadastral Register, the Public (formerly Commercial) Register, the Trades Register, the Insolvency Register, the Enforcement Orders Register, etc.)

hereinafter referred to as “my personal data”. Where I have provided the personal data of persons other than me in the application, the term “my personal data” is also taken to mean such data of these other persons.


• “Application” means the electronic application form for a scholarship to study at university and its attachments, as filled in by me
• “Application” also means an application for the Foundation’s scholarship in the form of coverage of tuition fees at OPEN GATE – gymnázium a základní škola, s.r.o., as filled in by me.
• “Applicant” means the person who applies for the Foundation’s scholarship.


Where I have also entered the personal data of persons other than myself in the application, I declare that I have entered the data of these other persons in the form with their explicit consent and that these persons have been acquainted with the terms and conditions applicable to the processing of their personal data, as specified in this Information Memorandum and the information in the section “INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS”.


3. Period for which the Administrator may retain my personal data:
Until a decision is made whether the applicant will be granted a Foundation scholarship, but no more than 60 (sixty) days after the deadline for the receipt of applications by the Administrator in the current calendar year. If the Administrator decides not to grant the applicant a Foundation scholarship, my personal data will be destroyed within the aforementioned timeframe; the Administrator will retain only the following personal data about me: (i) full name; (ii) home address; (iii) electronic address; (iv) the subject of the application; (v) the fact that the application was rejected and when it was rejected – hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Basic Information”. Basic Information is processed for a period of 10 years. At the end of this period, the data will be anonymized so that I cannot be identified retrospectively. Data rendered anonymous in accordance with the preceding sentence will be used for statistical purposes. If the Administrator decides to grant the applicant a Foundation scholarship, personal data will be handled according to the law for the “execution of a contract” under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.


4. Purposes of processing my personal data:
a. for the Administrator to evaluate the application, determine the family, economic and social circumstances of the family/environment which the applicant for a Foundation scholarship comes from, and determine the applicant’s need for support
b. for the Administrator to decide whether the applicant is eligible for the Foundation scholarship which the applicant is seeking
c. to promote the Administrator and inform the public of the Administrator’s activities and projects and the persons who benefit from the Administrator’s support (in particular, on the website and in social and other media).


Processing of Basic Information – purposes:
a. to keep records of applicants for Foundation scholarships
b. to record how frequently an individual applicant applies for a Foundation scholarship.

INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER CONDITIONS RELATING TO THE PROCESSING OF MY PERSONAL DATA/BASIC INFORMATION:

5. Lawful basis for processing my personal data/Basic Information:
I am aware that the lawful bases for the Administrator to process my personal data/Basic Information are:
1) the steps taken at the request of the data subject before entering a contract and the need to execute the contract when a Foundation scholarship is granted (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR); and
2) a legitimate interest pursued by the Administrator (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).


I am aware that I am under no obligation to provide my personal data to the Administrator, i.e., I am doing so entirely voluntarily and at my own discretion. I am aware that my consent to the processing of my personal data/Basic Information for the purposes and period specified above is not required.


I am also aware that the Administrator has established certain frameworks to assess any individual applicant’s eligibility for a Foundation scholarship and that the Administrator decides whether the applicant will be granted a scholarship under these frameworks. Such decisions by the Administrator therefore require the disclosure of my personal data to the Administrator. Accordingly, if I do not provide the Administrator with the personal data necessary to fulfil the purpose under point 4 above, the Administrator will not be able to evaluate the current application in a sufficiently competent manner, and in this context, the applicant will not be granted a Foundation scholarship. In such case, the personal data I have disclosed will be destroyed.


The applicant acknowledges that the Administrator is legally required to specify in the Administrator’s annual report any applicant who is awarded a Foundation scholarship to study at university and the amount of the Foundation scholarship. A recipient of a Foundation scholarship to study at university may ask the Administrator to preserve their anonymity, provided that the conditions of Section 359 of Act No. 89/2012, the Civil Code, as amended, are met.
