Information we collect

The forms collect an institution’s name and identity, representative’s name and email, evidence links, submitted declarations, messages and an optional PDF. Administration records review notes, status changes and activity. Login and submission limits use a hashed network-address identifier. Essential session cookies support authentication and form security.

Purpose and access

Information is used to respond to enquiries, assess applications, keep an accurate register and protect the service. Application records, documents and internal notes are accessible only to authorised administrators. Approved public register entries contain institutional details, recognition scope, dates and decision summaries; confidential evidence and applicant contacts are not published.

Storage and external links

Application records and uploaded files are held in access-restricted storage. Confidential evidence is not published. No advertising, analytics or third-party tracking scripts are used. Links to institutional or registry websites lead to those sites’ own privacy arrangements.

Retention

The retention period is 12 months for unsuccessful applications and general enquiries, and the recognition term plus three years for successful review records, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

For questions or a request relating to your information, contact office@cqase.org. Where GDPR applies, individuals may have rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, subject to applicable conditions, and may complain to a competent supervisory authority, including the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection.
