If the User is under the age of 15 years, the consent of his or her legal guardian shall be obtained in accordance with Article 6.

7. Other Functionalities

7.1. Transferring personal data between Alive Profiles in different countries

For instance, if a Czech student has an internship abroad and prefers to use his or her Alive Profile in the given country (e.g. in order to use local discounts), such student can request the transfer of his or her data.

This is done to ensure that the Holder is not required to undergo the profile registration process in each country where an ID is issued to such Holder. If an ID is issued to a Holder abroad under a foreign profile, such Holder may request the transfer of his or her data to a Czech profile, for example. However, the relevant ID is always displayed in the profile of the country in which it has been issued.

7.2. Products, services, IDs or Cards not found

If a Holder is unable to pair his or her existing services, IDs or Cards, such Holder can still pair the relevant IDs/services (insurance) manually. In order to pair them manually, the Holder taps the add ID/insurance field and fills in the ID/insurance number; the information is verified in the database and if any products are found, they will be displayed in the Profile. In case of any technical problems, please contact our helpline at info@isic.cz.

7.3. Missing photograph

If a User has no photograph uploaded for his or her digital ID/Card, he or she cannot use such digital ID until a photograph is uploaded. A photograph may be uploaded directly to the Alive App. In order to authenticate User’s photograph, the User must – together with such photograph – also upload his or her identity document (such as ID card, passport, etc.).
