Notifikace

Notifikace is a noun in Czech meaning notification or notice. It denotes the act of informing a person or organization about a fact, event, or decision, and can refer to informal alerts as well as formal acts of delivery. In technology, notifikace describes messages that alert a user to events, updates or statuses.

In information technology, notifikace are short messages delivered to a user’s device or account. They can originate from mobile apps, websites, or operating systems and are designed to draw attention without requiring immediate action. The goal is timely communication while respecting user preferences.

Common channels include push notifications sent to mobile devices, in-app messages, emails, SMS, and desktop alerts. Web Push uses browser-based notifications; mobile platforms provide APNs (Apple) and FCM (Google) as delivery systems. More general notifications may be delivered via email or messaging apps.

Design considerations include opt-in and opt-out options, frequency capping, meaningful content, and accessibility. Privacy concerns involve data minimization, secure transmission, and clear consent for data sharing and notifications.

In Czech law, notifikace also refers to the service or delivery of official documents and notices to affected parties. It is a formal act that may require proof of delivery and compliance with statutory rules to be valid.
