  • REF lays increased emphasis on ensuring that the data processing operations performed by REF should be clear, transparent (principle of transparency) and fair (not misleading) to both the data subject and REF. As for the data subjects, REF provides for meeting the requirement of transparency by publishing, keeping up to date and continuous availability hereof and, within its organisation, by means of the up-to-date records of data processing operations.
  1. REF shall process the personal data of data subjects exclusively for the purposes defined in Section “Data processing activities carried out by REF” (principle of purpose limitation). REF shall promptly inform the data subject in the event of a new purpose of data processing.
  2. REF shall only process personal data which are essential and suitable for realizing the purpose of processing (principle of data minimisation).
  3. REF shall process personal data only to the extent and for the length of time essential for realizing the purpose of processing (principle of storage limitation).
  • REF shall ensure that the data processed should be accurate, complete and, if it is necessary for the purpose of processing, kept up-to-date and that the data subject may be identified only as long as it is absolutely necessary for the purpose of processing by means of rectification performed by REF or initiated by the data subject following the discovery of any inaccuracy (principle of accuracy).
  • REF shall safeguard the confidentiality of and prevent any unauthorized access to the personal data processed by REF (principle of confidentiality).

 

5. Is any processor involved? If so, under what conditions?

The rights and obligations of the processor involved by REF related to the processing of personal data are determined by REF in the data processing agreement concluded with the processor in writing with regard to the provisions of the GDPR, the Privacy Act. and separate legal rules pertaining to data processing. REF is responsible for the lawfulness of the instructions given to the processor.
  2. The processor may involve other processor(s) to perform its activities, subject to the provisions formulated by REF.
  • The processor may not make any decision on the merits of the processing, may process the personal data disclosed to it exclusively in accordance with the instructions of REF, may not use any personal data for its own purposes, is obliged to store and preserve personal data as required by REF, and irrevocably delete or destroy them or return them to REF upon the termination of the data processing.

The individual processors and their respective activities are described in detail in the section titled “Data processing operations of REF”.


6. What measures does REF apply to guarantee the security of the personal data processed?


  1. REF shall plan and implement processing operations in a manner ensuring the highest level of protection of the privacy of the data subject in the course of the application of the GDPR, the Privacy Act and other rules relevant to data processing.

  • REF shall protect data by appropriate measures, such as encryption or anonymization (SSL or TLS), in particular against unauthorized access, alteration, transmission, public disclosure, deletion or destruction, as well as damage and accidental loss, and to ensure that stored data cannot be rendered inaccessible due to any changes of the applied technique.
  1. Unless otherwise permitted by the law, REF shall apply appropriate technical solutions to protect the data processed electronically in its various records against being directly connected with each other or attributed to the data subject.
  2. Should REF apply an automated decision-making system to process personal data, including but not limited to profiling, REF and the processor shall take additional measures in order to
    • prevent any unauthorized entry of data;
    • prevent the use of the automated data processing systems by any unauthorized persons by means of any data transfer equipment;
    • check and identify the recipients which the personal data have been or may be transferred to by means of any data transfer equipment;
    • check and determine what personal data have been entered into the automated data processing system, when and by whom;
    • ensure the restorability of the systems installed in the event of a breakdown and
    • provide for the preparation of a report of any defects arising in the course of automated processing.
  3. REF and the processor shall determine and apply the measures ensuring the safety of data due with regard to the state of the art. REF shall select from several possible processing solutions the one guaranteeing the higher level of protection, unless that would involve unreasonable difficulty for REF.
  • REF draws the attention of the data subjects to the risks posed by the open Internet, which are beyond REF’s control (for example, unauthorized access to user names and passwords), for which REF assumes no responsibility whatsoever.
  • Furthermore, REF is not responsible for the security risks of accessing content accessible through any link on its pages, since REF has no control over the content accessed through the links or the data security measures applied by the sites accessible through the links.

  5. if certification is applied.
  • With the permission of the supervisory authority, provided that the terms and conditions of the contract concluded between REF or the processor and the controller or processor within the third country or the international organisation or the recipient of the personal data are applied.
  • In the event of the specific situations described below:
  1. the data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer, after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers for the data subject due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards,
  2. the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and REF or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request,

  1. REF shall mark the personal data processed, if the data subject contests the correctness or accuracy of such personal data, but the incorrectness or inaccuracy thereof may not be clearly established.
  2. REF shall give notice of the rectification or erasure of the personal data to the data subject and every person which such data has been transferred to for the purpose of processing. Such notice may be dispensed with if this would not jeopardize the lawful interest of the data subject with regard to the purpose of the processing.

8.3 The right to data portability

  1. The data subject may initiate that REF shall make available the personal data concerning him or her in a structured, commonly used and machine(computer)-readable format (such as an Excel or txt file) and have the right to the transmission of those data by REF to another controller directly, provided that
