· zpracovávané citlivé Osobní údaje: žádné
· Zdroj Osobních údajů: Klient
· Místo zpracování: sídlo Dodavatele
· Způsob zpracování: manuální 
Dodavatel tak bude ve smyslu ZOOÚ vystupovat jako zpracovatel Osobních údajů, klient jako správce Osobních údajů.

The Parties in order to fulfill all their duties connected to personal data processing laid in particular by the Act No. 101/2000 Coll., on the Protection of Personal Data and on Amendment to Some Acts, as amended ("Act") agree that the Supplier will provide activities in order to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement that involve processing of personal data of the third parties ("Personal Data") for the Client within the meaning of Section 4 (e) of the Act, defined as follows:
· Purpose: Analysis of policies, procedures, organizational structure and roles
· Processed Personal Data: Name, surname, role, work position
· Processed sensitive Personal Data: None
· Source of Personal Data: Client
· Place of processing: [registered seat of the Supplier; 
· Manner of processing: manual
According to the Act, the Supplier shall act as a processor of Personal Data and the Client as controller of Personal Data.

VI.2.	Dodavatel zpracovává pro klienta Osobní údaje poskytnuté klientem v průběhu trvání této Smlouvy pouze pro účely a v rozsahu potřebném pro splnění povinností z této Smlouvy vymezeném výše. 
The Supplier processes for the Client Personal Data provided by the Client during the term of the Agreement only for the purposes and to the extent necessary for performance of duties set forth by this Agreement as specified above.

VI.3.	Dodavatel je při zpracování Osobních údajů na základě této Smlouvy povinen postupovat s náležitou odbornou péčí tak, aby neporušil žádné ustanovení ZOOÚ, zejména povinnosti podle § 5 ZOOÚ ve spojení s § 7 ZOOÚ, či jiného právního předpisu nebo nezpůsobil skutečnost, která by znamenala porušení ZOOÚ, zejména povinnosti podle § 5 ZOOÚ ve spojení s § 7 ZOOÚ, či jiného právního předpisu klientem jakožto správcem Osobních údajů.
 In the course of processing the Personal Data, the Supplier is obligated according to this Agreement, to proceed with due professional care to avoid violation of any provisions under the Act, mainly obligations under Section 5 of the Act in connection with Section 7 of the Act or any other legal rule or regulation or to avoid causing a fact that would constitute a violation of the Act, in particular Section 5 of the Act in connection with Section 7 of the Act, or any other legal rule or regulation by the Client as the controller of Personal Data.  

VI.4.	Jestliže dodavatel zjistí, že klient porušuje povinnosti stanovené ZOOÚ, je v souladu s § 8 ZOOÚ povinen jej na to neprodleně upozornit a v případě, že klient toto porušení nenapraví do 15 dnů od písemného vyrozumění dodavatelem, ukončit zpracování Osobních údajů. Pokud tak neučiní, odpovídá za škodu, která subjektu Osobních údajů vznikne, společně a nerozdílně s klientem, čímž není dotčena jeho odpovědnost podle ZOOÚ. Pokud bude subjekt Osobních údajů uplatňovat jakékoliv nároky v souvislosti s porušením povinností klienta v oblasti ochrany osobních údajů vůči dodavateli, je dodavatel oprávněn uplatnit tytéž nároky vůči klientovi, jestliže dodavatel klienta včas upozornil dle věty první tohoto odstavce.
Should the Supplier detect that the Client is in breach of duties set forth by the Act, he is obligated, under Section 8 of the Act, to promptly notify the Client thereof and, in case the Client does not remedy the breach within 15 days of notification by the Supplier, to terminate the Personal Data processing.  If the Supplier fails to do so, he shall be liable jointly and severally with the Client for damage incurred by a Personal Data subject, which has no impact whatsoever on his liability pursuant to the Act. If the subject of Personal Data applies any claims against the Supplier in connection with a breach of the Client´s obligations concerning Personal Data Protection, the Supplier is entitled to exercise the same rights towards the Client, if the Supplier gave the Client prompt notice according to the first sentence of this paragraph.

VI.5.	Dodavatel je povinen řídit se při zpracování Osobních údajů na základě této Smlouvy pokyny klienta. Dodavatel je povinen upozornit klienta bez zbytečného odkladu na nevhodnou povahu pokynů, jestliže dodavatel mohl tuto nevhodnost zjistit při vynaložení veškeré odborné péče. Dodavatel je v takovém případě povinen pokyny provést pouze na základě písemného sdělení klienta, že klient trvá na provedení takových pokynů.
In the processing of Personal Data hereunder, the Supplier is obligated to observe the instructions of the Client. The Supplier shall notify the Client without any undue delay of the unsuitable nature of any instructions, should the Supplier detect such unsuitability having exerted his best professional care. In such a case, the Supplier shall execute the instructions only on the basis of a written request of the Client stating that the Client insists on executing the instructions.

VI.6.	Dodavatel je v souladu s § 10 ZOOÚ povinen dbát, aby žádný subjekt Osobních údajů neutrpěl újmu na svých právech, zejména na právu na zachování lidské důstojnosti, a také dbá na ochranu před neoprávněným zasahováním do soukromého a osobního života subjektů Osobních údajů.
In accordance with Section 10 of the Act, the Supplier shall ensure that no Personal Data subject incurs any injury to his or her rights, including, in particular, the right to the preservation of human dignity. He shall also ensure protection against any unauthorized interference with the private and personal lives of the Personal Data subjects.

VI.7.	Klient a dodavatel se dohodli, že informační povinnost podle § 11 ZOOÚ a dále žádosti subjektu Osobních údajů podle § 12 či § 21 ZOOÚ plní i nadále klient; jakékoliv požadavky ze strany subjektů Osobních údajů adresované dodavateli je povinen dodavatel neprodleně předat klientovi.
The Client and the Supplier agree that the Client is henceforward authorized and obligated to perform the information duty under Section 11 of the Act and to provide the Personal Data subject with information pursuant to Section 12 or 21 of the Act. The Supplier is obligated to transfer promptly any requests of a Personal Data subject towards him to the Client.

VI.8.	Jakmile pomine účel, pro který byly Osobní údaje zpracovány, nebo na základě žádosti subjektu Osobních údajů podle § 21 ZOOÚ, je dodavatel ve smyslu § 20 ZOOÚ povinen na základě a v souladu s pokyny klienta provést likvidaci Osobních údajů nebo tyto Osobní údaje předat klientovi. V případě ukončení této Smlouvy je dodavatel povinen Osobní údaje zlikvidovat ve lhůtě 6 měsíců po takovém ukončení.
Once the purpose for which the Personal Data has been processed ceases to exist or upon request of the Personal Data subject pursuant to Section 21 of the Act, the Supplier shall, by virtue of Section 20 of the Act, on the basis and under the instructions of the Client, either carry out the safe destruction of the Personal Data or deliver such Personal Data to the Client. In case of termination of this Agreement, the Supplier is obligated to carry out the safe destruction of the Personal Data within six months after such termination.

VI.9.	Dodavatel se zavazuje, že ve smyslu § 13 odst. 1 ZOOÚ přijme veškerá technická a organizační opatření, která způsobem stanoveným v ZOOÚ či v jiných závazných právních předpisech zajistí zabezpečení ochrany Osobních údajů, a která vyloučí možnost neoprávněného nebo nahodilého přístupu k Osobním údajům, k jejich změně, zničení či ztrátě, neoprávněným přenosům, k jejich jinému neoprávněnému zpracování, jakož i k jinému zneužití Osobních údajů. Tato povinnost platí i po ukončení zpracování Osobních údajů.
By virtue of Section 13(1) of the Act, the Supplier hereby undertakes to adopt any and all technical and organizational measures securing protection of Personal Data in the manner set forth in the Act or in other binding legal rules and regulations, and avoiding opportunities for any unauthorized or incidental access to the Personal Data, change, destruction or loss thereof, or any other unauthorized transmissions, unauthorized processing, or any other misuse thereof. The aforesaid duties also apply after the termination of the Personal Data processing.

VI.10.	Dodavatel se zavazuje zejména, nikoliv však výlučně, že přijme následující organizační a technická opatření:
The Supplier hereby undertakes, in particular but not exclusively, to implement the following organizational and technical measures: 
a)	pověří zpracováním Osobních údajů pouze své vybrané zaměstnance, které poučí o jejich povinnosti zachovávat mlčenlivost ohledně Osobních údajů a dalších povinností, které jsou povinni dodržovat tak, aby nedošlo k porušení ZOOÚ či jiných platných právních předpisů;
