    • A fee determined by Cooolbox in the exercise of the listed rights. Refusal to cooperate

      Cooolbox provides the information free of charge. When requests by a data subject are manifestly unreasonable or excessive, in particular because of their repeatability, Cooolbox may impose a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing information or communication or undertaking the requested actions or may refuse to provide information. 

    • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

      Without prejudice to the other rights of judicial protection, every personal data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint, by filing a complaint to the Personal Data Protection Commission (CPDP) address: Sofia 1592, blvd.

      Without prejudice to the right of appeal to the Surveillance Authority, each data subject concerned shall have the right to challenge/contest the actions/omissions by Cooolbox or the processor, whо processes on behalf of Cooolbox personal data, concerning him/her as unlawful, before the respective Administrative court in the area where the controller/processor is located. The appeal of the subject under this order is inadmissible if the same violation has a pending litigation before the CPDP or the latter has delivered a decision which has been appealed to the competent Administrative Court.

    • Right to compensation and liability

      Without prejudice to any other rights of defence, any data subject, who has suffered material and/or non-pecuniary damage resulting from an unlawful act or omission by Cooolbox and/or a processor on behalf of the latter, shall be entitled to compensation for all damages suffered.

      Coolbox shall be liable for damage caused by processing which infringes Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or the Bulgarian Personal Data Protection Act.

      The personal data processor on behalf of Cooolbox is personally liable to the personal data subject, when performing or not performing an act which is in violation of the provisions of the Regulation and of the PDPA specifically related to the duties of the data processor, or when performing an act which is in violation of Cooolbox lawful instructions, that is, against the latter or beyond them.

      When the same processing operation involves Cooolbox and the data processor on behalf of Cooolbox, they are jointly liable to the data subject for the damage caused.
  9. Cooolbox and personal data security. Appropriate organizational measures for personal data protection

    Cooolbox, as a personal data controller, will apply appropriate and effective organizational and technical measures to protect personal data in order to comply with the Regulation and the PDPA, while at the same time the company bears the burden of proving that the processing of the personal data of the subjects is in compliance with the Regulation and the PDPA, as follows: implementation and effectiveness of the introduced organizational and technical measures.

    Cooolbox sets out the appropriate organizational and technical measures for the protection of personal data, both at the stage of defining the processing objectives, the types of processing and the means of processing, as well as the actual processing of the data, taking into account the specifics of their activity; personal data that are necessary at least to be collected and processed in the course of the activity and achievement of the identified processing objectives; state of the technics; the cost of introducing new technologies; the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing of personal data; the risk of breaching the protection of personal data and its impact on the rights and freedoms of data subjects. 

    Cooolbox shall implement technical and organizational measures for ensuring that, by default, only those personal data which are necessary for any specifically established purpose of the processing are being processed. This obligation relates to the volume of personal data collected, the level of processing, the period of storage and their accessibility. In other words, such measures will ensure that by default, without the intervention of an individual, personal data processed by Cooolbox will not be available to an unlimited number of persons.

    When imposed by the Regulation or by the applicable Bulgarian legislation or by the Supervisory Body in the form of the Personal Data Protection Commission, Cooolbox determines appropriate organizational and technical protection measures after conducting a Risk Assessment of the impact of a treatment on the protection of personal data. 

    Impact assessment is a process for determining the level of risk of the impact of a data processing on the rights and freedoms of a particular individual or group of physical persons – the subject and the data processed, depending on the specific data, treatment objectives and the number of physical persons in the event of a breach of personal data protection. The risk to the rights and freedoms of physical persons, of different probability and severity, may arise from the processing of personal data which could lead to a breach of the protection of personal data; or when data subjects may be deprived of their rights and freedoms or deprived of the right to exercise control over their personal data; when processing sensitive personal data; when assessing personal aspects, in particular analysing or forecasting aspects relating to the economic situation, health, personal preferences or interests, reliability or behaviour, location or movements in space, with the purpose of creating or using personal profiles; when processing personal data of vulnerable persons, especially children; or when processing involves a large volume of personal data and affects a large number of data subjects.

    The results of the assessment should be taken into account by Cooolbox, when determining the appropriate measures to prove that the processing of personal data complies with the requirements of the Regulation. When a data protection impact assessment indicates that processing operations lead to a high risk which Cooolbox cannot limit by appropriate organizational and technical measures in terms of available technologies and application costs, consultation with the supervisory body in the face of CPDP should be performed. 

  10. Reporting security breach of personal data

    Immediately after finding a security breach of personal data Cooolbox must notify the supervisory authority in the form of CPDP for that breach without undue delay and, where feasible, but no later than 72 hours after being made aware of the violation unless Cooolbox is able to demonstrate in accordance with the accountability principle that the breach of personal data security is unlikely to lead to a risk for the rights and freedoms of physical persons. When such notification cannot be filed within 72 hours, it shall state the reasons for the delay and the information may be submitted in stages without undue further delay.

    When the personal data breach is likely to lead to a risk for the rights and freedoms of physical persons, the controller shall, without undue delay, notify the data subject for the personal data breach. 

  11. Amendments and adjustments

    Cooolbox, in their capacity of a controller and in their endeavours to comply with personal data protection law in the course of and in connection with its commercial activities, may unilaterally amend or supplement this policy in a transparent manner by notifying the data subjects in an appropriate manner. 

    This policy is adopted by Cooolbox, as a controller, and its officers and shall enter into force on 25.05.2018.
