III. Processing of personal data in connection with events photo documentation

For events organised by us, we take photo documentation (situational shots of events) to a reasonable extent for the purpose of subsequent publication of selected photos on our website for promotional purposes of the Grandhotel Zvon. In this way, we do not primarily depict the visitors of a specific event, but the overall atmosphere of the event, the images are not published in detailed resolution, nor do we attach descriptions of specific persons attending the event. According to the expert opinion of the Office for Personal Data Protection, in such cases, the primary issue is not the protection of personal data, but the protection of privacy under the Civil Code; therefore, consent to the processing of personal data for "illustrative" images is not required.

Visitors are notified in advance of the taking of photographs by means of a camera pictogram, our photographers are visibly identified and photographs are only taken in the main event area, so that visitors are always able to stay in areas where no photographs are taken. If you have any doubts or questions about taking photo documentation, you can contact us at the contacts below.
