What are the legal bases ADKi uses for processing personal data?
The GDPR requires ADKi to rely on one or more lawful bases to use your personal data. We consider the bases listed below to be relevant:
• Where you have provided your consent to us to use your personal data in a certain way (for example, to take part in research project, and we may ask for your explicit consent to collect special categories of your personal information).
• Where necessary so that we can comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, where we are obliged to share your personal information with regulatory bodies which govern our work and services).
• When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection legislation. Our legitimate interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
We place great importance on the security of your personal data and we always try to take appropriate precautions to protect it. We use a variety of security technologies, procedures and staff training to help us protect your personal data from unauthorized access including encryption of personal data when at rest and in transit. If you have undertaken a research project for us we always anonymize your personal contact information (name, address, telephone number, email address) when this information is no longer required for the purpose for which it was obtained.
The length of time we hold your personal data varies depending upon the type of information and its use. If you have undertaken a research project your personal data will be kept for a period deemed fair and reasonable for the project, unless you have been explicitly told otherwise at the time you participated in the study. Client information will be held on our systems only for as long as necessary to provide the services and/or products that you have requested, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements, staying in contact for a period of time that we would deem fair and reasonable. Information on our staff will be held on our systems to meet our legal obligations, investigating disciplinary matters, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.
We generally store and process your personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we need to transfer your information outside of the European Economic Area we only do so to countries which have been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. If we transfer personal information to countries that have not been determined to have an adequate level of protection we do so using a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections and well as advanced levels of encryption.
Under the European General Data Protection Regulation you have the following: rights with regard to your data and the processing thereof:
Access
You may access your personal data and make any necessary changes in your account. If you would like to see which personal data ADKi has obtained about you, you may exercise your right of access by submitting a request to ADKi.
Making changes
If you wish to make changes to the personal information that you have seen as a result of a request for access and you are unable to make the changes yourself in your account, you may request that ADKi makes these changes for you. You may request that ADKi modifies, corrects, supplements, erases or shields your information.
Restriction of processing of personal data
You also have the right, under certain conditions, to ask ADKi to restrict the processing of your personal data.
Right to object
If processing of your data takes place on the grounds of ‘legitimate interest’ by ADKi or a third party, you have the right to object to that processing.
Portability of data
You have the right to obtain your personal data from ADKi. ADKi will provide this in a structured and commonly used format, which can easily be opened using commonly used digital systems.
Withdrawing consent
When the legal basis for a particular processing is your explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent. This does not affect past processing, but does mean that we will no longer be allowed to process this data in the future. It may also result in ADKi no longer being able to provide you with certain services.
Response from ADKi
A request can be sent to dam.van.benten@adk-insights.com. ADKi will comply with your request as soon as possible and in any case no later than one (1) month after ADKi has received such a request. If ADKi rejects your request, we will indicate in our reply why the request was rejected.
It is possible that ADKi is required to submit your data to a third party, for example to fulfil a legal obligation.
