LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
In order to process personal data, there must be a legal basis. Article 6 of the GDPR lists a number of permitted grounds for processing.
One ground for processing personal data in Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which is the data subject’s freely given consent to do so. This consent is tied to a specific purpose. A second basis for processing personal data is to fulfill the requirements of a contract as set out in Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR. However, this clause must be understood to include entering into a commercial relationship with the relevant data processing. This basis applies to the ARC Academy Association, in case the “IDEA Academy” Association decides to invest in a company that meets the mandatory requirements for this. Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR allows the processing of personal data where there is a legal requirement to do so. Article 6 (1) (d) allows the processing of personal data in exceptional circumstances where this is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject. It is also possible for personal data to be processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. This is the so-called “legitimate interests” ground, which is interpreted in relation to Recital 47 of the GDPR.
DELETION OF PERSONAL DATA
ARC Academy Association stores and processes personal data only as long as it is necessary. When the purpose of the data processing has been fulfilled, your personal data will be deleted in accordance with our data retention policy, unless we are legally obliged to retain it.
YOUR RIGHTS
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
The right to access your personal data
The right to correct or delete your personal data
The right to restrict the processing of your personal data
The right to object to the processing of your personal data
The right to data portability
The right to confirm whether or not your personal data is being processed.
If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Such withdrawal of consent will only affect the processing of your data after it has been given.
If we continue to process your personal data because we assess our legitimate interests to do so outweigh your legitimate interests (according to Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR), you can object to this processing. This is only applicable in cases where the processing of personal data is not necessary for us to fulfill a contract with you. In order to exercise such an objection, we ask you to detail the grounds on which we no longer need to process your personal data. We will check the details of your circumstances based on the reasons you have provided and either stop processing your personal data or detail the legal basis on which we continue to process your personal data.
HOW YOU CAN MANAGE YOUR RIGHTS
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you will need to provide proof of identification that you are the data subject. The data you will receive includes data that we have associated with you, the source of that data, the recipients or types of recipients to whom the data has been transferred, and the purposes for which the data has been stored. To exercise these rights, please contact the manager of ARC Academy Association.
SECURITY
We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.
We have implemented various security procedures. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and improved as necessary, and only authorized personnel have access to user information. We use secure server software (SSL) to encrypt the information you enter before it is sent to us, and our database is hosted in a secure data center. Although we cannot guarantee or warrant that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur, we use our best efforts to prevent this.
We do not collect and collect personal information from persons under the age of 18 or knowingly permit such persons to provide us with their personal information without verifiable consent from a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, do not submit any information about yourself, including your name, address, phone numbers, or email address, unless you have permission from a parent or guardian. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from persons under the age of 18 and we do not have the consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
Our website may contain links to other websites that are beyond our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy (“Third Party Websites”). If you access third-party websites through the links provided, the operators of such sites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours. We advise you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites so that you understand whether/how they collect and/or use information from you or your computer.
COMPLAINTS
