LEGITIMATE INTERESTS
A legitimate interest is a justifiable and relevant interest beyond the scope of the established legal bases under which personal data are processed. A legitimate interest is not where the interests or rights of the Data Subject override those interests. The legitimate interest may not be contrary to the legislation concerning personal data protection or other generally binding legal regulations. If a controller's interest is considered justified, the Data Subject's personal data may be processed, provided that its rights and interests override the fundamental rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the Data Subjects. SKPAY always checks whether the interest is genuinely legitimate and then assesses whether the legitimate interest overrides the rights and freedoms of the Data Subject. The Data Subject shall be entitled to object with the Data Protection Officer to such processing of personal data and apply for the deletion of personal data. After such an objection, the controller must carry out an individual assessment whether its legitimate interest actually overrides the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject who made the objection.

Legitimate interests of SKPAY include mainly:

  1. Protecting SKPAY’s assets,
  2. Protecting the safety of SKPAY‘s employees and clients,
