7 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Data pertaining to data subjects may be disclosed within the organisation of the Controller and its subsidiaries/sister companies, as well as to our partners, to fulfil the purposes described herein.  Otherwise, data is disclosed only to the extent permitted and required by law.

The services of service providers located outside the EU or EEA are used for the realisation of services. The services cannot be realised in practice without these services. In such cases, personal data may be transferred outside the EU or EEA.

Personal data transferred outside the EU or EEA is primarily cookie data (e.g. data on how many users visit the website and how they navigate the website), but ensuring the quality, integrity and correct functioning of information systems that are vital for the provision of services may require, on a case-by-case basis, the transfer of other personal data outside the EU or EEA. Such cases are occasional transfers of individual data of individual data subjects, which are carried out only to the extent required to resolve a specific case.

The Controller has taken adequate technical and organisational security measures in cooperation with the service providers. For example, contracts with service providers use standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and transfers are based on a decision issued by the EU Commission on the adequacy of data protection in the country of destination. For further information, please contact the e-mail address provided in section 2.

8 PROTECTION AND STORAGE OF DATA

The basis of the processing of personal data is respect for the rights and freedom of data subjects at all stages of the processing and the fulfilment of the legal grounds for processing. The Controller only collects and processes information that is necessary for its operations.

Digital material may only be accessed by authorised employees, sole traders and collaboration partners with a personal username and password. There are varying levels of access, and each user is granted access that is sufficient for the performance of their tasks while as restricted as possible. Employees are trained and instructed to take data security into account when processing personal data.

Personal data is only stored on secure devices. The Controller’s IT devices are equipped with appropriate virus and firewall software that is configured to automatically download and install new software updates. Personal data is stored on encrypted cloud servers.

Customer/partner information is stored in the register for at least one (1) year after the end of the customer relationship and the fulfilment of all obligations, unless otherwise specifically agreed or required by law.
