Privacy policy

Around Prague privacy policy

Effective from 1 October 2026. Last updated: 1 October 2026.

This page explains what personal data aroundprague.cz (including its /en/ and /ua/ versions) collects, why, how long we keep it, who receives it and how you can exercise your rights.

1. Who processes your data

The controller (správce) of personal data on aroundprague.cz and its language versions is:

We have not appointed a data protection officer (DPO), as Article 37 GDPR does not require one in our case. For any data question, write to [email protected].

We process data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, 2016/679), Czech Act No. 110/2019 Coll. on the processing of personal data, Act No. 127/2005 Coll. on electronic communications (cookies) and Act No. 480/2004 Coll. on certain information society services (newsletters).

We do not sell personal data. We do not make automated decisions that have legal effects on you (Art. 22 GDPR). Ad personalisation is done by Google under its own rules (section 4).

Contact fields in job ads, directory listings and property listings are published on the site. Don't enter anything you don't want to be public.

User accounts

Registration, sign-in and user profiles on the site have been discontinued. We are deleting the data of old user accounts (logins, emails, profiles), comments from the old comment system and submissions from old contact forms. They disappear from backups automatically within 9 weeks (section 9).

3. Cookies and similar technologies

The consent banner (a Google-certified platform using the IAB TCF standard) is shown to visitors from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Visitors from other countries do not see the banner, and analytics is enabled for them by default.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time: open cookie settings. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. To opt out of personalised Google ads, visit myadcenter.google.com.

4. Recipients and processors

5. Transfers outside the EU

Some recipients are in the USA. Transfers rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (for certified companies) or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Yandex Metrica transfers data to Russia. There is no European Commission adequacy decision for Russia: data protection there may be weaker than in the EU, and public authorities may have broader access to data. That is why Metrica is enabled only if you consent in the banner. If you don't, no data is sent to Yandex, and the site works in full.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

Send requests to [email protected]. We will reply within one month and may ask you to confirm that the request comes from you.

7. Complaints

If you believe we are breaking data protection rules, you can complain to the Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (ÚOOÚ), Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, uoou.gov.cz, [email protected]. We'd appreciate it if you contacted us first so we can try to resolve the issue.

8. Children

The site is not intended for children under 15. We do not knowingly collect their data through forms.

9. Security and backups

The site runs over HTTPS only. Access to the admin area, the servers and the database is limited to the controller and the technical specialists working on his behalf. Database backups are made once a week, stored on our server in Germany outside the public part of the site and deleted automatically within 9 weeks at the latest. This means deleted data may remain in backups for up to 9 weeks.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The current version is always on this page, with the date of the last update at the top.
