The processing of data is carried out primarily by DOFE employees who need access to the data to perform their work duties and are obliged to maintain confidentiality of all facts they have learned in connection with the performance of their work. Personal data may also be processed by other entities in the capacity of so-called processors or controllers with whom the controller, i.e. DOFE, typically enters into a contract regulating, among other things, the protection of your personal data.

Processing of personal data for the purpose of administering financial support from the DOFE Fund

The DOFE Fund is a partnership fund to which donors contribute to provide direct financial support to DOFE participants and local DOFE centres. The DOFE Fund enables:

  • Make the DOFE framework programme accessible to all participants at bronze, silver and gold levels of DOFE, respecting their different starting points, with the aim of reducing inequalities in non-formal education, respecting the pace at which they pursue their goals, respecting the sub-steps they have chosen on this adventurous journey;
  • to develop the DOFE framework programme at local DOFE centres with the aim of increasing the availability and quality of non-formal education in all regions of the Czech Republic and with an emphasis on sustainability and community outreach of the supported activities of the local DOFE centre.

For this purpose, we process the data of applicants for financial support, which are eligible applicants according to the rules and conditions of the DOFE Fund, i.e. natural persons (DOFE participants, legal representatives of participants, heads and coordinators of DOFE centres) and legal entities (DOFE centres) that meet the requirements for an eligible applicant. Applicants fill in the application form for the DOFE Fund at https://dofe.cz/fond-dofe.

The assessment of applications is carried out by the responsible DOFE official and a five-member assessment committee. We usually process identification and address data, electronic contact data, data necessary for the performance of the contract (bank account number) if it is concluded with the applicant, and in the case of some applicants, personal data on health and social situation, including the identity of the legal guardian if the applicant is a child under 18, in order to prove eligibility for financial support.

Furthermore, we use this data to draw up a donation agreement for applicants who are approved for financial support from the DOFE Fund and to properly fulfil contractual relations and legal obligations that apply to us (especially in the area of accounting, taxes, personal data protection). The legal basis for processing the data of recipients of financial support is the performance of the donation agreement.

We process personal data processed for the purposes of the donation agreement for as long as the applicant is an eligible applicant for the DOFE Fund, i.e. for a natural person for as long as he/she is a DOFE participant and up to the age of 25, and for a legal entity for as long as it is involved in the DOFE programme as a DOFE centre.

DOFE processes data mainly on its own computer systems and on the computer systems of processors.

Within the processing of applicants' data, the DOFE also processes data on the applicants' contact persons in the case of legal entities, e.g. their statutory bodies or employees dealing with the DOFE. We usually process the name and surname, e-mail address, job title, telephone number.

Personal data processed for the purpose of processing the application are processed for the period necessary for the processing of the financial support including its settlement, i.e. 6 months in the case of applicants of natural persons or 12 months in the case of applicants of legal persons. We process personal data processed for the purposes of the donation agreement for as long as the applicant is an eligible applicant for the DOFE Fund, i.e. for a natural person for as long as he/she is a DOFE participant and up to the age of 25, and for a legal entity for as long as it is involved in the DOFE programme as a DOFE centre, or until the relevant contact person changes.
