Types of data 

The categories of personal data used by the Foundation are listed in Appendix 1 (bottom of page).

Basis of processing

Personal data is only processed on the basis of:

  1. Consent: in the event that the data subject has given their unambiguous consent to the processing.
  2. Contract: in case the data processing is necessary for the execution of a contract to which the person involved is party, or for taking pre-contractual measures in response to a request from the person involved and which are necessary for the conclusion of a contract.

  6. Legitimate interest (balancing of interests): the data processing is necessary for the promotion of a legitimate interest of the responsible party, whereby the interest of processing the data outweighs the privacy interest of the data subject.

Storage terms

The Foundation will not retain the data any longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was obtained, unless there is another legal obligation that requires the data to be retained for a longer period.

Access

  2. The Foundation ensures that employees have no more access to personal data than is strictly necessary for the proper performance of their work.
  3. The security measures take into account the state of the art and the costs of implementation. In doing so, the Foundation shall take into account the specific risks that may apply to the personal data processed.
  4.

Time limit

The Foundation must respond to a request in writing within four weeks of receiving it or reject it in writing, giving reasons. The Foundation may inform the data subject that more time is needed and extend this period by a maximum of 4 weeks.

Execution of request
