Addendum – Personal Data Protection (GDPR / ZVOP-2)

Controller: THE HOTEL LJ d.o.o., Cesta v hrib 20, 1210 Ljubljana – Šentvid, e-mail: info@therestaurant.si.
(Privacy contact: info@therestaurant.si)

1. Purpose of processing and legal bases (Art. 6 GDPR)

(a) Conduct of the prize draw (receipt and verification of entries, organization of the draw, notification of winners, awarding of prizes, handling of complaints): Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – performance of a contractual relationship under these terms; additionally Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest in ensuring a transparent draw and preventing abuse.

(b) Compliance with legal obligations related to taxation of prizes (e.g. collection and submission of the winner’s tax number, calculation/payment of advance income tax): Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with ZDoh-2 and ZDavP-2.

(c) Direct marketing by e-mail (newsletters, offers). Making participation in the prize draw conditional upon consent to direct marketing is not considered an impermissible condition, because the prize draw is not part of the organizer’s core or contractual service, but constitutes a public promise of a reward (Articles 207–211 of the Obligations Code). Participation is entirely voluntary and is not linked to access to or use of the organizer’s services; therefore such consent is valid, freely given, and does not constitute tied selling or coercion. Marketing is also carried out under the “soft opt-in” regime pursuant to Article 226 of ZEKom-2: the e-mail address was obtained in the context of selling our services and concerns similar services; participants always have the option of free and easy opt-out at the time of collection and in every message (Art. 21 GDPR).

2. Categories of data

First and last name, e-mail address, telephone number; addresses are collected only from winners for prize delivery and tax/accounting purposes. Data entered on the coupon that are not necessary for conducting the prize draw are not processed.

3. Source of data

Directly from the participant (coupon/form).

4. Recipients / categories of recipients

Contractual processors (e.g. accounting, IT/draw services under supervision), the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for tax obligations, postal and delivery service providers where necessary. No transfers outside the EEA are carried out.

5. Publication of winners

For transparency purposes, we publish the first name and the initial of the last name and the place (or the coupon identification number). Publication of photographs or the full name is carried out only on the basis of the winner’s separate consent.

6. Retention periods

– non-winners’ data: up to 3 months after completion of the draw (complaints/appeals period), then deletion/anonimization;
– winners’ data and related accounting/tax documentation: 10 years from the end of the business year in which the prize was awarded (accounting/tax legislation).

7. Data subject rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection (in particular to marketing), withdrawal of consent; complaint to the Information Commissioner (www.ip-rs.si). Send requests to info@therestaurant.si.

8. Security and fairness of the draw

Coupons are stored in a closed/locked box with restricted access; the draw is public and conducted randomly under the supervision of an independent person; minutes are kept.

9. Interpretation

This Addendum prevails over any provisions of the General Terms and Conditions that would deviate from the above personal data protection rules.
