PROTECTION

IZUM is processing personal data in accordance with the law (Personal Data Protection Act, Librarianship Act, Scientific Research and Innovation Activities Act, General Data Protection Regulation, IZUM’s Rules on Personal Data Protection, etc.) and purposes, for which the data was gathered, stored and processed.

As an information system of Slovenian science, culture and education, IZUM is also a processor that is performing personal data processing services on behalf and at the expense of other personal data controllers.

As personal data controllers, libraries that are full members of the COBISS.SI system are responsible for ensuring that the collection, storing and processing of personal data of its members is done in accordance with regulations. For that purpose, they have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with IZUM.

IZUM is implementing organisational and technical procedures and measures to ensure the protection of personal data and to prevent accidental or intentional unauthorised destruction of data or their alteration, loss or unauthorised processing.

IZUM employees can process personal data if they are granted special authorisation.

On 1 September 2017, IZUM named Davor Šoštarič as their data protection officer (DPO). As of 5 May 2023, the data protection officer is Dr Ema Dornik.

IZUM provides all required information regarding the processing of personal data to all subjects, whose personal data is being processed.

The data subject can send a written request to the e-mail address podpora@izum.si and requests access, update, correction, blocking, or restriction of processing or deletion of personal data, he or she can object the processing of his or her personal data, or requests a transfer of data to another controller.

At any time, the data subject can also permanently or temporarily revoke the given consent to process personal data in full or partly with a written request or with the same method used for giving the consent. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the performed processing based on the given consent until the time of revocation.

The data subject has a right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia if he or she believes that his or her personal data is being stored or processed in a way which is conflicting with the rules in force that govern the protection of personal data.
