Depending on the severity or the relevant persons’ interests at risk, these persons will be informed about it together with the competent authorities (regulatory agency, data protection authorities, if applicable under the relevant legislation).
Personal Data
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, phone number, address, e-mail address etc.
Data is not personal if it does not relate to a specific person, such as the data about the gender or number of persons visiting the website per day. The statistics collected include, for example, the data about your visits to specific pages on the website and this data cannot be directly associated with you as a person, such as the statistics about the most popular pages on our website etc.
Processing
MTEL GLOBAL identifies and processes specific personal data and metadata, as well as other data that you provide as part of the contractual relationship and/or when granted the right to a free-of-charge promotional period for our services or when it is necessary to verify the buyer’s/customer’s identity.
Master Data
The personal data that you provide to MTEL GLOBAL when concluding the contractual relationship is considered to be master data. This includes your name, home address, phone number, contact details such as your e-mail address, and the information about the nature and content of the contractual relationship. In the case of legal entities, the master data includes also name, address and company registration number. MTEL GLOBAL deletes customer master data not later than seven years after the completion of all claims arising from the contractual relationship.
Metadata
Metadata refers to all data processed to forward a message to a communications network or to bill the process. It includes, for example, active and passive subscriber numbers, type of device, charge code, number of units to be charged for the billing period, type, date, time and duration of a connection or other use, routes, the protocol used, the network from which the message originates or to which it is sent.
Telephony – To fulfill the contractual obligations related to telephony (calls and SMS), master data and metadata are processed for the purpose of establishing, controlling and charging telecommunications services. On our website, section User Account (“My Account”), you have password-protected access to your account, enabling you to track the consumption of telephony services and check the listing/history of your calls and sent SMS.
Operational Purposes
Only insofar personal data is strictly necessary for operational purposes (in particular troubleshooting of connection problems, network needs analysis, performance analysis, development and planning of network deployment, analysis and prevention of fraudulent practice against MTEL GLOBAL, optimization of offers etc.), it is processed by means of MTEL GLOBAL metadata. The metadata stored for these purposes will be deleted or anonymized after six months at the latest.
To ensure communication, MTEL GLOBAL works with different service providers, also having access to technical systems and data for troubleshooting purposes. Some of these service providers are located outside the European Union. In such cases, MTEL GLOBAL will ensure, by obtaining appropriate guarantees from the providers, that the EU’s high data protection level is complied with, as well as that their service providers and partners comply with the same standards.
We operate globally and rely on others to help us provide services and ensure the use of our website (e.g. maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, misuse prevention, marketing and development). They will have access to your information only insofar as it is necessary for them to perform their tasks or work on our behalf and they are under an obligation not to disclose it or use it for any other purposes. Whenever We transfer, store or process your personal data, We will take all reasonable steps to safeguard the privacy of your personal data in line with applicable laws.
Contract-/Order-Related Processing
-
Telephony and SMS
If you use our telephony services, your traffic data will be transferred to the so-called interconnect partner and the destination network operator, in keeping with legal obligations.
-
Order
To process the order specified in your contract and/or the order for your device, We collect the following data: name and surname, address, e-mail address, phone number and date of birth. We need this data to confirm your order by e-mail, to deliver the ordered goods and issue the invoice and the contract document for the relevant service/tariff. If your delivery address is not the same as your billing address, your delivery address will be saved as well.
The goods you order will be packed by our partner depending on your residence and sent by mail (e.g. Fedex, ShippingEasy). In order to deliver the goods, the shipping agent is granted access to your order data such as your full name, address and phone number. The data stored by shipping agents will be deleted upon the expiry of the statutory limitation period.
-
Refunds
If you exercise your legal right to a refund, your master data will be used to refund the amount paid.
-
If you conclude a Service Contract for one or more services/tariffs and/or products at an authorized MTEL GLOBAL retail outlet or with an MTEL GLOBAL distributor/partner, it is necessary to enter your master data. This is required so that you could be charged for the Services you have requested and so that the Customer Support Service could use the data to meet your requests.
If you conclude the contract with an MTEL GLOBAL distributor, the following personal data will be transferred for billing purposes between the partner and MTEL GLOBAL: name, phone number, device number (MAC address) and type of service/tariff. This data is needed to verify payment transactions and will be deleted once the data has been reconciled.
Billing
For accounting, business or legal reasons, the master data and metadata of customers and suppliers of MTEL GLOBAL are processed, analyzed and stored. All tax-related data is retained for seven years.
Accounting
We send invoices for services/goods to the e-mail address you have provided for the purpose. Master data and metadata are used for billing purposes. The master data and the product/service information can be found directly on the invoice. Also, you can find all invoices in “My Account”, your user zone on the website, including the listing of used services. For billing purposes, the metadata and, consequently, individual records are kept until the time limit for filing a complaint or until the final decision on a complaint against the consumption-based bill. Invoices are stored for the statutory retention period of seven years.
Payment
If you want to pay your prepaid invoice via our website, the payment method you have opted for (credit card) can be used for automatic payment collection, if you have selected this option. MTEL GLOBAL works with banks and credit card companies to collect payments, while data is transferred in an encrypted form to service providers. The payment of prepaid invoices using the website user zone is made via PayUnity (European Union) and Authorize.Net (USA and Canada) as the service providers.
You may revoke your consent for automatic payment collection at any time, for any reason whatsoever, with effect for the future, by accessing your user account on our website (“My Account”) and turning off this function.
If you transfer the invoice amount to MTEL GLOBAL directly (bank order), the payment will be allocated to your customer account on MTEL GLOBAL by means of your master data that banks provide. If you purchase a product in connection with a service/tariff at an authorized MTEL GLOBAL retail outlet, the information about purchased products will be saved in the customer database, while your customer data will be printed on the invoice issued by the relevant outlet.
When purchasing services/tariffs directly via the MTEL GLOBAL application, you have the option to make the purchase via the Apple or Google system (the so-called “in-app purchase”). MTEL GLOBAL has no access to the data you enter during the purchase process. We suggest that you read the Apple and Google privacy policy.
Claims and Disputes
In claims and disputes cases, MTEL GLOBAL accesses the master data, metadata and payment, profile and customer interaction data saved in databases, needed to review claims.
If you contact an arbitration board, an interest representative (e.g. consumer information association) or an agent/lawyer, and an objection has been filed on your behalf, MTEL GLOBAL will forward the above personal data, needed to clarify the subject of the claim, to the arbitration board, the interest representative or the lawyer. As long as the procedure is in progress, the personal data described above will not be deleted. After that, general provisions on data retention and deletion apply.
Termination of the Contract
If you terminate the contract, your master data and saved customer interactions will be deleted after 3.5 years (after the expiry of the time limits for bringing actions arising from the contractual relations).
Extraordinary Termination – Handling of Special Cases
If there is an extraordinary reason for termination, such as the awarded guardianship or death, all the necessary master data and metadata, as well as notifications and documents, will be transferred to third parties, such as notaries, lawyers or specific administrative staff, if necessary.
Legal Obligations regarding Abuses and Emergencies
You are hereby informed and agree that our telephony services cannot be used to make calls to emergency services (rescue, firefighters, police etc.) and, consequently, We cannot provide information about your master and location data to any of them.
You can contact MTEL GLOBAL if you are being harassed by a specific caller and, if possible, We will take appropriate steps to protect you and will inform you about it.
Transfer to Third Parties
Your data will be used solely to provide our services and, naturally, will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent. Our employees and partners, who may acquire information about your personal data during maintenance and service, are bound by contract to non-disclosure. We do not reveal your personal data to third parties for their independent use unless: (1) you request so or authorize them for the purpose; (2) the information is provided to comply with the law, the contract that we have concluded with you has to be enforced or our rights, property and safety protected; (3) the information is provided to our agents, suppliers or service providers performing tasks on our behalf; (4) emergencies have to be addressed; or (5) disputes, claims and requests have to be dealt with or data forwarded to parties legally authorized to act on your behalf.

Transfer to Third Countries
The data We collect from you will be processed in the EU, the US and Serbia, depending on your residence or type of user (website visitor and/or user of a specific service that We provide), in line with the applicable legislation pertaining to MTEL GLOBAL business operation. MTEL GLOBAL collects and transfers personal data to third countries only: with your consent; to perform the contract closed with you; or to pursue a compelling legitimate interest in such a way as not to outweigh your rights and freedoms. MTEL GLOBAL seeks to apply appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data, used only in accordance with your relationship with MTEL GLOBAL and the procedures described in this Privacy Policy. MTEL GLOBAL also minimizes the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting or storing sensitive information about you.
Customer Support Service
To deal with your requests and complaints, having to do, for example, with invoices, customer-related products and services or technical issues, MTEL GLOBAL processes master data and metadata stored in the systems, as well as customer interaction data, needed to reply to a request or solve the existing issue. Such a request may involve, for example, address updates, setting locks or enabling/disabling packages. In order to identify you as a customer, the information requested first includes, for example, your name, the device’s MAC address, or your phone or personal number, if you use our telephony services. For each customer contact, an entry will be made in our Customer Management System.
MTEL GLOBAL employees and/or authorized persons can access your user account exclusively with your consent and at your request, in order to make changes in it directly, as per the requested order. Each time the account is accessed, the data about it is stored in the Customer Management System.
