Slovenský register placentárnych krvotvorných buniek, Dúbravská cesta 9, 841 04 Bratislava (hereafter “EUROCORD”) values the trust of its clients. EUROCORD is aware of the sensitivity of any private data accessed or provided by third parties. Consequently and with all due respect to the appropriate legal demands EUROCORD applies the following privacy protection measures.

• Any non public data provided by any person is treated as confidential. The only exception is carrying out obligations imposed on EUROCORD by law (i.e. mandatory procedures for preventing the spread of infectious and transmittable diseases, the obligation to cooperate with competent public authority etc).
  

• Obtained non-public, personal or other data is used exclusively in the scope and purpose necessary to carry out the relationship with the particular entity (e.g. processing and storage of cord blood stem cells). The data obtained is processed primarily by the EUROCORD and only when needed is this data processed by cooperating entities, while respecting the privacy of the persons concerned.

• Provided or made available public and private data are not provided without legal obligation (see point 1) for payment or free of charge to anyone other than the cooperating entity under the previous point.
  

• EUROCORD considers that if any person voluntarily provides any personal data at the same time it gives EUROCORD within the meaning of § 4. 1 point. i) Act no. 428/2002 Z.z. Private Data Protection consent to the processing of all personal data (personal data of the person, the child, father of the child), in particular the names, surnames, addresses, data about pregnancy etc. Consent is granted mainly to the inclusion of the personal data in the EUROCORD databases and their use when communicating with the person, the collection of cord blood, its processing and storage and related operations. EUROCORD has the status of the operator under the relevant provisions of the Private Data Protection. Consent to the processing of personal data is given voluntarily for an indefinite period and you can withdraw it in writing, by a registered letter of appeal. The operator is entitled to process personal data, until the granted approval is revoked under the preceding sentence. EUROCORD is entitled to provide the processed personal data to a third party solely in connection with their processing. Under the same conditions and same scope the person granting consent to the processing of other data provided, devoid of the nature of personal data (e.g. telephone numbers, e-mail address etc).

• If the person concerned grants any further consent to the processing of personal data and other treatment of the confidential facts (e.g. by signing informed consent or concludes the appropriate contract with EUROCORD) it is considered that from that moment on, the rights and obligations of EUROCORD are governed by the wording and scope of said contract.
  

• If it not required by special law, EUROCORD does not seek or process personal or other private data concerning any person of its own initiative. If, despite this any personal or other private data relating to any person is accidentally acquired, EUROCORD does not process this data and keeps operating as if it was never acquired.
