We collect your data in accordance with the purpose for which you have provided it to us based on your consent or on the basis of a contract. We will not use the data for any other purpose. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access data concerning you, the right to rectification of data, the right to restriction of processing, the right to erasure of data and the right to data portability.

In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within our website.

Use of personal data

Personal data collected on the Tourist Board Barban website will be used for the functioning of the website itself and for the implementation of services or transactions that the user has requested or permitted. For these purposes, we may use personal data to offer the user more efficient services or to improve the website to make it easier to use by eliminating the need to enter the same data multiple times. We may use the user’s personal data to provide them with important information about the services they use, including important updates and notifications. In addition, we may send users information about other services with their permission. If users sign up or agree to receive promotional emails, the website may use customized links or similar technologies to track the email links that users select. In this way, we can associate the collected information with the user’s personal data in order to offer them even better-quality email communication or information about purchases. In each email message we send to the user, there is a link that allows them to stop sending this type of message to the user’s email address.

Control and security of personal data

The website may occasionally send e-mail messages informing users about technical or security problems related to the services/products requested or with the confirmation of the requested service. For some services, establishing contact with users is the most important part of the service. Users cannot prevent the sending of such notifications, because we believe that they are the most important part of the service they have chosen.

Personal data exchanged between you and us via our website is transmitted via the most modern connections. All IT systems used are protected from unauthorized access by security systems, and employees are obliged to maintain data confidentiality. However, Tourist Board Barban has no influence on data transmission via the Internet and therefore cannot exclude misuse of access by third parties.

The transmitted data is stored for further processing. The website may collect certain data about the user’s visit, such as the name of the Internet service provider and the IP address (Internet Protocol) through which the user accesses the Internet, the date and time, i.e. when the user accesses the website and the Internet address of the website from which the user came directly to the website. This data is used to improve and administer the website itself, analyse trends and data.

Updating the privacy statement

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Statement from time to time. When we do, the last modified date, displayed at the bottom of the Privacy Statement, will change. We will notify users of significant changes to this Privacy Statement by placing a prominent notice on the website. We encourage users of the website to periodically review this Privacy Statement to stay informed about how the website is protecting their personal information that it collects. Your continued use of this website constitutes your consent to this Privacy Statement and any updates.
