If you will be collecting the personal data of natural persons through questionnaires, you become a personal data collector and you are obligated to comply with all personal data protection rules set out by the GDPR and by other legal regulations governing such issue. Survio does not bear any liability for a breach of personal data protection rules by Users.
Notice for respondents
The utilization of the Survio system may be subject to the principles and rules of the given User, if Users have such principles. If you provide your personal data to Users, contact the User directly with any questions regarding personal data protection, as the User is in the position of a personal data controller. We cannot be liable for the personal data protection principles or security procedures used by the User, which may differ from these Personal Data Protection Rules.

Survio does not conduct any operations with Users’ data, including personal data, with the exception of storing them on Survio servers, does not intervene in them in any manner, does not modify them, does not make them accessible, nor does it transfer them to third parties (with the exception of making them accessible to state authorities in accordance with the law), unless the Agreement provides otherwise. The sole purpose of handling such personal data is their storage and the possibility of them being accessed by the User.
For what period of time do we process personal data?
We only process such personal data of respondents that will be stored through a Survio questionnaire on Survio servers, i.e. data that end users fill into questionnaires within the Survio system. These may be primarily name, surname, gender, age, job position, residence address, e-mail, etc.
Po jak dlouhou dobu zpracováváme osobní údaje?

V. Data Security Methods
For the purpose of securing the User’s data against their unauthorized or accidental disclosure, we utilize reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures. Technical measures consist in the application of technologies that prevent unauthorized access to the User’s data by third parties. For the purpose of maximum protection, we use encryption of the User’s and end users’ data, primarily including passwords for logging into the Survio system, communication within the Survio system and all data stored on servers. Organizational measures comprise a set of rules of behavior for our employees and are incorporated into Survio’s internal regulations, which are, however, considered confidential due to security reasons. Survio takes to ensure that, in the event of the placement of servers at a data center operated by a third party, similar technical and organizational measures are also implemented by such third party.
All data are placed only on servers located within the European Union or in countries ensuring personal data protection in a manner equivalent to the protection ensured by the legal regulations of the Czech Republic.
