  • Biometric Data: Personal data resulting from specific technical processing relating to the physical, physiological, or behavioral characteristics of a natural person, which allows or confirms unique identification, in particular, fingerprint data.
  • Data Processing Limitation: The labeling of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their processing in the future.

Processing by a processor on our behalf is governed by a “Data Processing Agreement” that obliges the processor towards the controller, specifying the subject, duration, nature, and purpose of processing, the type of personal data, categories of data subjects, and the respective rights and obligations.

Our company will sign amendments to contracts with the mentioned processors to ensure that all GDPR requirements are met.

Our company will take steps to ensure that any natural person acting on behalf of the controller or processor, who has access to personal data, processes such data only on the instructions provided by us, except where required by Union or Member State law.

In the event of a personal data breach, our company will notify the supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach.
If notification is not made within 72 hours, the reasons for the delay shall be provided.

The breach notification will include at least:

14. DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT (ARTICLE 35 GDPR)

If a type of processing, especially using new technologies and considering the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller will conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) before processing.

  • (b) Processing on a large scale of special categories of data pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses pursuant to Article 10;

Since our company’s processing activities do not include the above cases, a DPIA is not required.

The controller is required to designate a Data Protection Officer if:

  • (a) The processing is carried out by a public authority or body (excluding courts acting in their judicial capacity);

  • (c) The core activities consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of data pursuant to Article 9 GDPR or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses pursuant to Article 10 GDPR.

Since our company does not meet any of these conditions, a Data Protection Officer is not designated.

16. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA TO A THIRD COUNTRY OR INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION

Transfer of personal data processed or intended for processing to a third country or an international organization may only take place if the controller and processor comply with the conditions, including conditions for further transfers from the respective third country or international organization to another third country or international organization.

The Data Protection Authority publishes on its website a list of third countries, territories, and specified sectors in a given third country and international organizations for which the European Commission has decided that an adequate level of protection is ensured, or where such a level is no longer ensured.

Our company will regularly monitor this list, and when transferring personal data to countries not included on the list, will proceed in accordance with Chapter 4 of the GDPR.

17. CONFIDENTIALITY (§ 79 ZoOOÚ)

Our company is obliged to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data it processes. This duty of confidentiality continues even after the processing of personal data has ceased.

Furthermore, our company is required to impose confidentiality obligations on any person who comes into contact with personal data at the controller or processor. The duty of confidentiality, as stated above, must continue even after the termination of the employment, state service, or any similar working relationship of such person.
