Privacy Policy Declaration
With the aim of improving the content and usability of its web pages, the City of Bratislava automatically collects several types of information from users. This information concerns:

IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of users and internet service provider, or the user’s computer if it has an IP address assigned directly
Full domain name of your internet service provider, or your computer if it has a domain name assigned directly.
The date and time you visit the site.
Websites that were visited within the portal, as well as used applications, forms and data on forms.
The City of Bratislava uses this information to identify the performance requirements of the web portal, to ensure compatibility with the technology used by visitors to bratislava.sk and in general to supplement and improve the services that are provided by the City’s official website.

General data (other than personal) are grouped for the purposes of monitoring the usability, performance and efficiency of pages. Surveys serve to improve customer services, and the use and content of the web pages. Bratislava does not collect data for commercial or business purposes. The City does not sell, rent or in any other way provide collected data to third parties for commercial or business purposes.

Information submitted to the web portal bratislava.sk
When visiting, using or working with bratislava.sk, you can voluntarily provide the City with information. Among other ways this can be done by e-mail, by completing and submitting an electronic form, or by using the portal. This voluntarily provided information is saved in a secure environment and will be used by the City when fulfilling its obligations and/or liabilities toward its residents.

Some examples of what the voluntarily provided information might be used for:

To make it easier to reply to requests for information not otherwise available on bratislava.sk
To make it easier to resolve a problem that was reported to the City via bratislava.sk.
To keep a list of parties interested in a certain issue and aspect of life in Bratislava, where the City expects to publish further information in future.
To publish information at a request made according to the right to freedom of information or a court order, provided the information is not legally protected.
The City does not rent, sell or exchange the personal information of users with third parties in any way (i.e. name, address, telephone number, e-mail etc., which identifies the user as a concrete person) without the express consent of the user. The City does not provide information about credit cards or other personal financial and valid data, with the exception of information required to execute a transaction by credit card or other form if an electronic payment terminal is included, or at the express consent of the user in question. If you request bratislava.sk for more detailed information to be sent by the City, bratislava.sk will only send information from selected categories. If bratislava.sk sends you an e-mail, the e-mail is not confidential, and in essence it is identical to information that is generally available to the public.

Security

In certain cases you have the possibility to receive or generate a password for the sake of access or for submitting personal information. Passwords should not be revealed to anyone and the City will never ask you for a password over the phone, by fax, e-mail or in any other non-standard form of communication. As soon as you end an application or password-protected application, you should log out of the said website. If a publicly accessible browser is used to access such password-protected pages, you should close all your work and where possible, erase all temporary caches or other places where the password might have been stored.

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, and in an effort to maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information, the corresponding physical, electronic and management procedures to protect and secure collected information have been put in place.

Cookies

The web pages of the City do not generally use “permanent” cookies. “Cookies“ are little data packets or parts of larger files that are used to distinguish visitors to websites and to gather information during multiple visits to a website. The City uses “transient“ cookies on some parts of bratislava.sk, which do not remain stored on your hard disk once you have finished and closed the browser. If a user registers on the portal bratislava.sk, the City uses a permanent cookie to make the creation of this registered access easier.

The use of cookies is standard practice on internet sites. The majority of internet browsers accept cookies automatically, but usually by setting the preferences of the browser you can reject cookies or can selectively accept only some of them. If you switch off the acceptance of cookies, some of the functions on the pages of bratislava.sk might not be available to you and some websites might not be displayed properly.

Children

None of the applications on bratislava.sk specifically request information from minors and they do not try to ascertain whether the visitor is a minor. As this information will not be specifically identified as information from a minor, users of bratislava.sk should be aware that personal information submitted to bratislava.sk by minors will be treated in the same manner as information submitted by adults.

The City firmly believes that the supervision of parents is the most important factor where the use of the internet by minors is concerned. That is why bratislava.sk requests parents to assist and advise their children if they are to provide any personal information online. Bratislava.sk also requests that children request the permission of their parents before they provide any information online.

Third parties

Links to the web servers of third parties that may be contained on the web portal bratislava.sk are given only for the sake of user convenience. If you click on these links, you will be leaving the portal of the City of Bratislava. The City of Bratislava does not investigate these websites of third parties or their privacy policies, which may differ from the approach of the City of Bratislava. The websites of third parties are not subject to the approval of the City of Bratislava and the City does not make any declarations as regards these servers and can be held in no way responsible for the content of these sites. This privacy policy declaration shall not apply to personal details that you decide to provide by way of websites of unaffiliated third parties. Before submitting personal information we recommend that you read the privacy policy of the particular organisation. Some organisations may decide to share your personal information with the City of Bratislava, whereby this sharing is governed by the privacy policy of the respective company.
