The applicable privacy regulations grant you certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data. The scope of your rights is determined by the nature of the actions we take.

The right to access your personal data. This right allows you to receive information as to whether we are processing personal data about you and, if so, the right to receive a copy of the personal data we are processing. The right to access your personal data allows you to verify whether we are processing it lawfully.

The right to rectify your personal data. This right allows you to request the correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data that we process. In some cases, in order to fulfil your request, we will have to verify the accuracy of the new data that you provide to us.

The right to restrict the processing of your personal data. This right allows you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following situations: (a) when you want us to check the accuracy of the data; (b) when our processing is unlawful; (c) when you need the data to establish, pursue or defend legal claims, even though we no longer need your data for our own processing purposes; (d) when you have objected to our processing, but we need to verify whether we still have overriding and legitimate grounds to continue processing your personal data.

The right to delete your personal data. This right allows you to request the deletion of your personal data if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You can also request that we delete your personal data if you have effectively exercised your right to object to processing, if we process your data unlawfully or we are required to delete your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation specified in the provisions of applicable law. Remember that in some cases, we are required to process your data on the basis of applicable regulations and we cannot fulfill your request.

The right to object to the processing of data concerning you where we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest (ours or those of third parties). You may object for reasons related to your particular situation, when you believe that the processing affects your rights or freedoms. You also have the right to object if we process your data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have legitimate grounds for processing your data that override your rights and freedoms (e.g. the need to ensure the security of the Service and to counteract fraud). In such cases, the right to object is not connected with the deletion of your personal data. You also have the right to object if we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

If you have given us consent to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal. If you have given us consent to receive commercial or marketing information based on separate provisions, you also have the right to withdraw it at any time.

The exercise of rights is, as a rule, free of charge: You will not have to pay a fee for exercising the right to access your personal data (or for exercising any other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive, in particular due to its repetitive nature. In such cases, we may also refuse to comply with your request.

Request processing time: We endeavor to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests, it may take us longer than one month to process them. In such cases, we will inform you of the extension of the deadline and provide you with current information regarding the processing of your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority at any time.

We would be grateful if, before filing a complaint with the supervisory authority, you give us the opportunity to deal with your case and any concerns related to our actions. For this reason, please contact us by e-mail:

We will communicate with you via email. The purpose of the communication will be to confirm your registration, inform you when your advert becomes active/expires and other transactional messages related to our Services.
