8.4.7 The User agrees to indemnify (including, without limitation, payment of reasonable legal costs) the Service Provider in respect of any claim that the User has violated any law or the rights of a third party by uploading such Sensitive Content to or in connection with the Website or the Service.

8.5 Access to data stored in the System, scope and extent of disclosed data

8.5.1 The data stored in the system will only be displayed to a wider audience or on public interfaces of the system after the active consent of the User ("publication"). This is the case, for example, of the public access to the data and information compiled by the tenderer during the tendering procedure for land leases on the Website.

8.5.2 Other data, such as those related to wildlife management activities, are not accessible to the public through the system, with the scope of persons having access to the data also being limited, for example, to persons specified by the Group Subscriber or members of the Group or a subset of members of the Group.

8.5.3 The User acknowledges that, upon connection to the Group Subscriber's account, the Group Subscriber's administrator may view their personal data and may also modify the data recorded by the User in the Service in respect of certain data.

8.5.4 In order to prevent misuse of data, the Service will keep a log of some of the data modification activities (the log will include the date of modification, the User's ID of the User making the modification, the original data and the modified data). Such changes may be retrieved by Group Subscriber's administrators or by a limited number of persons specified by the Service Provider.

8.6 Handling of the User's perceived or actual location

8.6.1 The User's location will not be tracked by the Service in real time without the User's knowledge and express consent. 

8.6.2 The real-time, continuous retrieval of location data when using the Service in an Internet browser is technically not feasible or only possible at short intervals, so the continuous tracking of the location of Users when running the Service in an Internet browser is not feasible. Furthermore, the retrieval of location data in Internet browsers can be restricted or disabled by the User.

8.6.3 In the case of mobile applications, the application may not access the User's location data without the User's knowledge and permission. Therefore, the "Record route" function, available in the mobile application provided by the Service Provider and available upon the User's express request, must be activated by the User in the mobile application provided by the Service Provider. The User will be informed about the access to the location data by the operating system of the phone or tablet and will be asked for the User's explicit permission to access the location data.

8.7 Land occupancy map

8.7.1 Users may select and reserve, or indicate in advance their intention to reserve one or more locations (“Zones”) at the time of "Reservation" or "Check-in". An icon representing the User will be displayed on the selected occupied locations. The icon will be placed randomly within the boundaries of the area(s) selected by the User, except in cases where the User occupies a facility as the locations of the facility is fixed and does not change.

8.7.2 The location of the User(s), whether perceived or actual, will not be publicly disclosed. In the case of Group Subscribers, the User's perceived or actual location may be disclosed to the administrators of the group and/or members of the group for the purposes of personal safety and security. See also details in the section "Sensitive content".
