Principles of Processing Personal Data
1. Introduction
These personal data processing principles (hereinafter "Principles") apply to personal data processing operations performed by Cybernetica AS (hereinafter "Cybernetica" or "we").
The principles apply to all our service providers, customers, guests, participants in studies and workshops and representatives of cooperation partners and related persons (hereinafter "data subject" or "you").
Technical and organizational information security measures have been implemented to protect personal data in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001: 2013 requirements.
2. Cybernetica as controller
Cybernetica collects or requests from the data subject only such personal data and in the amount necessary to achieve the set goals and for which there is a legal basis for processing.
Cybernetica processes the following personal data:
- Personal data of representatives of Cybernetica's potential and existing service providers, customers and cooperation partners;
- Personal data of Cybernetica guests and participants in studies and workshops conducted by Cybernetica, and
- in certain cases, personal data of persons related to the above.
Cybernetica processes personal data on the following legal bases and purposes:
- to fulfill the right or obligations arising from the legislation – Cybernetical has the obligation to receive and process breach reports as well as to comply with the requirements arising from international sanctions and other regulations, in connection with which the processing of personal data is necessary;
- to fulfill contracts concluded with the participation of the data subject or to take measures prior to the conclusion of the contract – before concluding contracts with service providers, customers and cooperation partners, Cybernetica needs to make sure of the right of representation of the representatives of the mentioned persons and to process the data of the representatives in order to formalize the contract; it is also necessary for Cybernetical to process the data of representatives and other contact persons in connection with the fulfillment of contractual obligations and the prevention of conflicts of interest; In certain cases, Cybernetica needs to ensure that service providers, customers and cooperation partners have access to Cybernetica's premises and equipment on the basis of the contract, and to store access logs;
- on the basis of legitimate interest – Cybernetica keeps records of potential and existing service providers, customers and representatives of cooperation partners and documents, software and other intellectual property created for them or in cooperation with them, including managing related intellectual property rights and confidential information; in connection with the above, Cybernetical needs to ensure network and information security, including controlling access to Cybernetica's infrastructure and services and storing information about it, which may contain personal data; Cybernetica also welcomes guests and organizes educational workshops and research; processes feedback data; monitors website visits; and market on social media channels; Cybernetica also participates in public procurements, in connection with which it is necessary to transfer personal data to state authorities;
- on the basis of the data subject's consent – Cybernetica generally avoids processing on the basis of consent, as we usually rely on some other legal basis (see above); depending on the service offered to the customer and the position of the data subject, Cybernetica may need to perform a background check on the data subject through national databases, social networks and other sources not directly related to work through security authorities, for which Cybernetica requests the consent of the data subject; Cybernetica may wish to use the data subject's personal data as test data based on the data subject's consent; It is possible to subscribe to the Cybernetica newsletter via the Cybernetica website; if Cybernetica publishes the data subject's photo or other information on a social media channel, it will ask for the data subject's consent in advance, but in the case of recording as audio or image material in a public place, the data subject's consent will be replaced in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act by informing him in a form that allows him to record audio or image material understand the fact and avoid recording yourself if you wish. The notification obligation does not apply to public events that can reasonably be expected to be recorded for the purpose of publicity.
Cybernetica refrains from:
- processing of special categories of personal data, except if it is unavoidably necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or to provide the requested service to the customer – in the latter case, Cybernetica processes personal data as an authorized processor based on the instructions of the legal person customer or, in the case of a natural person customer, based on his consent.
- From the processing of personal data of customers' employees and users of their products or services or other related natural persons, except if it is unavoidably necessary to provide the requested service to the customer – in this case, Cybernetica processes the personal data provided by the customer assuming that the customer has a legal basis to transfer the data to Cybernetica for the purpose of organizing work or as an authorized processor based on the customer's instructions to achieve the customer's goals.
- the use of personal data as test data for testing its own products and services, unless the data subject has given Cybernetica their consent in advance.
- the use of personal data for conducting research, unless the purpose of the research cannot be achieved in any other way.
3. Recipients
