General Information
Who Is The Data Controller?

The data controller processing your personal data is RCZ ("Data Controller").

What Is Personal Data?

Personal data or information ("Personal Data") is defined as any information capable of being recorded which relates to a living individual who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that person.

Personal Data includes sensitive Personal Data and pseudonymised Personal Data but excludes anonymous data or data that has had the identity of an individual permanently removed. However, the anonymisation of Personal Data also qualifies as processing of Personal Data.

Personal Data can also be factual (for example, a name, contact address, or date of birth) or an opinion about that person’s actions or behaviour.
