Payment deposit register of the Regional State Administrative Agencies

The purpose of the payment deposit register is to process and store information on payment deposit and collateral matters received by the Regional State Administrative Agencies. 

When the Regional State Administrative Agency has decided to receive a deposit, we will open a bank account to which the deposited funds will be transferred.

We store the relevant bank account numbers in the deposit register. The Regional State Administrative Agency is always the account holder for bank accounts.

The payment deposit register is part of the task's financial process. 

The payment deposit function is statutory.

Under the law, the depositor must indicate on whose behalf the deposit is made. A deposit must always be made on the basis of the law. 

In addition to bank account numbers, we only store the necessary case-specific information. The personal data include the name of the depositor and the name of the person entitled to the deposit, i.e. the recipient. If there are several recipients and it is not justified or technically feasible to list them separately, we refer to the case file in the register. 

The register only contains the name of the depositor and the name of the recipient valid and known at the time of the decision.

The processing of your personal data is based on Article 6 (1)(c) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679), i.e. processing required compliance with the Regional State Administrative Agency’s statutory obligation.

Act on Depositing Cash, Paperless Shares, Securities or Documents to Pay a Debt or to Be Released from the Obligation to Settle Other Liabilities 9.10.1931/28.

The register contains the names of the parties (if known).

The personal data of both the depositor and the person entitled to the deposit are obtained from the deposit case that has been initiated. In addition, personal data is obtained from public sources, such as other authorities' registers and documents, for the performance of our duties.

No data is disclosed.

Personal data are not transferred outside the EU or the EEA.

Personal data is stored in an active register for as long as the bank account opened by the Regional State Administrative Agency is valid. After this, the personal data can be found in the list of dissolved deposits. The data shall be kept for 20 years from the date of accrual of the deposit.

Data is stored in a technologically secured environment. Access to the data requires sufficient access rights and multi-phase identification. The processors will only use the data in their work tasks and in accordance with their restricted access rights.

The processing of your personal data also does not involve automatic decision-making or profiling.
