The data controller is the Society for Transport Infrastructure Maribor (DPI Maribor), Smetanova ulica 17, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia, email info@dpi-maribor.si, phone +386 2 229 43 26. This page explains which personal data we collect through www.dpi-maribor.si, why we collect it and what rights you have.
What we collect and why
Contact form
If you write to us through the contact form, we process your name, email address and the content of your message. We use the data solely to reply to you. The legal basis is your consent, given by sending the message (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Messages are kept for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry and no longer than one year.
Membership
If you join through the form, we process the type of membership, your name, company or organisation, position, email address, phone number, postal address and your message. We need this data to keep the register of members, as required by the Slovenian Societies Act and the society's statutes, and to inform you about membership matters. After you submit the form, we send you a confirmation of membership and, a few days later, a short introduction to the society. We also send membership-related notices to your email address, such as invitations to the members' assembly. The legal basis is your membership of the society (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and the society's legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR). Members' data is kept for the duration of membership and for five years after it ends, where accounting and tax rules require it.
Event registration
If you register for an excursion or another event using the form below an invitation, we process your name, company or organisation, email address, phone number, boarding point and your note. We use this data to organise the event (list of participants, transport, collection of the fee) and to show the number of available places on the page, which reveals no personal data. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Registrations are kept until the event and the collection of fees are completed, and for no longer than one year.
Email updates
We send news about the society's events and activities only to those who have explicitly opted in through a separate checkbox. You can withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email or by writing to info@dpi-maribor.si; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it.
Who processes data on our behalf
Data from all forms (the contact form, the membership application and event registration) is stored in the society's spreadsheet in Google Sheets (Google Ireland Limited), from which a notification is sent to our email address. Only the society has access to the spreadsheet. Our email is hosted by the hosting provider of the dpi-maribor.si domain. We do not sell your data or pass it on to third parties for their own purposes.
To send emails to members and subscribers we use Mailchimp (The Rocket Science Group LLC, an Intuit company, USA). We transfer your name, company or organisation, email address, language, membership tag and any consent to receive updates. On our behalf, Mailchimp records whether an email was delivered and opened and which links were clicked; we use this only to check whether our emails reach their recipients. As the data is transferred to the USA, the transfer relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses included in Mailchimp's data processing agreement. Data in Mailchimp is kept for the duration of membership or until consent is withdrawn. After you unsubscribe, a record of the unsubscription is kept so that we do not email you again.
Cookies
The website uses two kinds of cookies or similar browser records:
- Strictly necessary records (browser local storage): your cookie choice (
dpi-cookies) and accessibility settings such as dark theme and text size (dpi-theme,dpi-fontscale,dpi-underline). They contain no personal data, never leave your device and require no consent. - Google Analytics cookies (
_ga,_ga_*; up to 2 years): anonymous visit statistics that tell us which content is useful to visitors. They are loaded only after you accept them in the cookie notice. The data is processed by Google Ireland Ltd.; IP addresses are anonymised in Google Analytics 4.
You can change your choice at any time: open cookie settings. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.
Your rights
You may at any time request access to your personal data, its rectification or erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and withdraw your consent. Send your request to info@dpi-maribor.si. If you believe we process your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia, Dunajska cesta 22, 1000 Ljubljana, www.ip-rs.si.
