Protection & Processing of General Personal Information
​
Personal Information (PI) is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one whose identity can be ascertained, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identification identifier, such as a name, identity number, location data, online identity card, or one or more factors matching to the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. This also applies to more personal information such as habits, preferences, biometric data, etc. Every company that manages personal information relating to living natural persons within the EU, is required, from 25th of May 2018, to fully comply with EU Data Protection Regulation 679/2016 on the protection of personal information. The Regulation is directly applicable in all EU Member States. The collection of PI is a form of processing, such as storing, organizing, structuring, altering, retrieving, searching for information, using, disclosing, deleting, or destroying. An enterprise through its Privacy Policy, informs natural persons about the processing of their PI, by helping them make conscious decisions about their relation with the business.
Privacy Policy
​
The enterprise has to collect PI (i.e. personal information) for the effective execution of everyday business functions and services and in some occasions for the compliance with the legislation and/or the regulations that it applies. The Privacy Policy declares our compliance with the Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data and also our respect for the protection of the privacy and security of personal data. Furthermore, it aims to:
• Inform the natural persons about the PI we collect and process, for what purpose, in what way and for how long.
• Ensure that the natural persons are aware of their rights and of our duty for accountability and security.
• Provides an easy and clear way of securing your consent, as one of the six legal bases for processing PI and at the same time enables you to withdraw this consent whenever you want. The Privacy Policy generally applies to any natural person who has or intends to have any kind of cooperation with us.

Your rights and our obligations
​
Our clients, the users of our services and our website visitors, have rights under the Regulation for the Protection of the Personal Data (which should not be in contrary to the legislation). The rights of the natural persons are the followings:
• The right of access to their PI

• The right to object to the automated decision making including profile instructions.
​
Our obligations include:
​
· The principle of accountability in respect to the 6 principles of processing the PI (legitimacy, objectivity, and transparency, purpose limitation, minimization of PI, the accuracy of PI, limitation of the storage period, security, integrity, and confidentiality).
· Every process of the PI is legitimate only if one of the following 6 conditions applies:
The subject of the data has consented to the processing of the data.
• The process of the PI is necessary for undertaking a contract, where the subject is a party.
• Processing is necessary for the compliance with the legal obligation of the controller.
• Processing is necessary to safeguard the vital interest of the natural person.
• Processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a duty to the public interest or during the exercise of public authority entrusted to the controller.

In addition, we implement the appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect our company and our customers against unauthorized access or alteration, tampering or destruction of the PI we have in our possession. Specifically:
• We encrypt many of our services.
• We control data collection, storage and processing practices, including security measures, to protect against access to systems.
• Access to personal information is limited and controlled, and these natural persons are subject to strict contractual obligations of confidentiality.
• In case that outside partners (for maintenance or support purposes) have potential access to PI, certain appendices of the existing cooperation contracts cover the requirements of the Regulation. Throughout the entire processing cycle of PI (from collection to destruction of the PI), we take the appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PI. Similar measures are required by third parties handling or processing PI.
Access to your own PI and information
​
Within the scope of the Rights granted to you by the Regulation, you can view and request a correction or limitation of processing or deleting the PI. In such cases, you are requested to fill in a subject access request (SAR). We are obliged to respond to you within one month of the receipt of the SAR. The exercise of the rights of a natural person can always be done under the existing legislation (eg you cannot ask for a deletion of your PI when the labor law requires to be retained for 10 years). Every time you use our services, our goal is to provide you with access to your own PI. If this data is incorrect, we put efforts to provide you ways for quick update or deletion of this data –unless we have to maintain this information due to relevant legislation or for legitimate purposes.
