Cookies can be disabled in your internet browser or mobile device, however, some sections of the Website may not consequently work properly. The terms of using third-party cookies, specifically Google cookies, can be found here.

      In addition to cookies, we also process your IP address and records options selected in the Application in order to perform the Contract, or to protect the legitimate interest (see point 4 of the Policy).

  4. Methods of Personal Data Processing

    During the Registration, we collect personal data through the form in the «Registration» and «Profile» sections of the Website. AFM thus has access to your name (nickname), username, password, e-mail address and IP address. Without processing these personal data, the Registration may not be completed (your Profile may not be created).

    In addition, you can also enter non-mandatory information at any time: gender, BIO and profile picture (including data on your sex life and sexual orientation). When entering these data, you are aware of their processing or, if so stated, you grant your consent to their processing. You may withdraw your consent to personal data processing at any time. In that case, we will stop processing these data, unless there is another legitimate reason for their processing. You may change or delete your data in your Profile settings.

    The information that AFM collects and that is necessary for AFM to be able to respond to your requests are marked with an asterisk in the collection forms. If you do not fill in these mandatory fields, we will not be able to respond to your requests.

    If you decide to contact our customer service through the means located or referred to in the Application or by other means that AFM makes available, information that you have already provided in or through the Website may be used.

    If you wish to receive commercial communications without the Registration, you may enter your e mail address through a pop-up window on the Website and AFM will process your e-mail address for these purposes.

    Based on the collected data, AFM offers similar content, similar user tips (personalization), i.e. AFM creates groups of users with the same or similar interest in the content. For these purposes AFM processes usage data (watched content, liked content etc.).

    Finally, when you browse any links on our Website, servers of AFM or their processors automatically recognise the IP address of your device (it is a number that identifies any Device connected to the Internet).

    We only send you personalized commercial communications based on your consent granted by ticking the relevant field in the «Registration» section. If you have already used any of the Services, we have a legitimate interest in sending commercial communications if you originally did not refuse their sending. You may object to such sending at any time by unsubscribing from the relevant commercial communication using the link at the footer of the commercial communication.

    In addition to the above personal data, we also process statistical information to learn how Users or visitors use the Website, including the history of using the Services.

  5. Data Recipients

    Particularly for the purposes mentioned above, AFM transfers personal data obtained through the Website to the following partner companies, which act as processors or other controllers of personal data:

    Name Registered Office

    IČO: 24753157
    Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States

    When using services of personal data processors, AFM concludes relevant data processing agreements if they are processors of personal data. Personal data may be transferred to companies with their registered offices in countries which do not provide an adequate level of protection according to the Regulation. In these cases, AFM concludes standard contractual clauses for the transfers of personal data approved by the European Commission with the recipients in order to ensure an adequate level of personal data protection.

    We will process the personal data related to your Profile, including the data contained therein, in order to manage your Profile and send offers of our goods and services until you cancel it.

    We will process the personal data that we process based on your consent until you withdraw your consent. To withdraw your consent, send an email with the request to support@xfree.com.

    You may also refuse the processing of your personal data for the purposes of sending commercial communications without affecting our mutual relationships.

  8. Rights of Data Subjects

    In connection with personal data processing, you have the rights listed below that you may exercise at any time under the terms stipulated in Articles 15 through 21 of the Regulation.

    These include the right (i) to access personal data; (ii) to rectify inaccurate data or complete incomplete data; (iii) to erase personal data if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it has been collected or processed, or if it has been collected illegally; (iv) to restrict data processing; (v) to data portability, (vi) to object to the data processing which will therefore be terminated, unless there are serious legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, especially if the reason is an enforcement of legal claims, and (vii) to contact the Office for Personal Data Protection (www.uoou.cz) to lodge a complaint. If you have granted consent to personal data processing, you may withdraw it at any time.

    Right to access personal data: if you want to know whether AFM processes your personal data, you have the right to obtain information on whether your personal data are processed and, if so, you have the right to access your personal data;

    Right to rectify inaccurate data or complete incomplete data: if you believe that AFM process inaccurate or incomplete personal data about you, you have the right to request rectification and completion of the data. AFM will rectify or complete the data without undue delay, but always taking into account technical possibilities;

    Right to erasure: if you ask for erasure, AFM will erase your personal data if: (i) they are no longer needed for the purposes for which they have been collected or otherwise processed; (ii) the processing is unlawful; (iii) you raise objections to the processing and there are no prevailing legitimate reasons for the processing of your personal data; or (iv) AFM is required to erase the data under legal regulations. AFM will not comply with your request if any of the circumstances under Article 17 (3) of the Regulation prevents it from doing so;

    In the event of repeated or apparently unjustified requests for the exercise of the above rights, AFM is entitled to charge an appropriate fee for the exercise of the right, or to refuse the exercise. We would inform you about the procedure in advance.
