4. SHARING WITH THIRD PARTIES

4.1 Conditions for Data Sharing

We will only share your personal data with trusted third parties if:

  • they need the information to be able to provide their services;
  • they have agreed to comply with applicable privacy laws. This means, for example, that this third party must implement adequate security measures; and that, in the event of a transfer to countries outside the EEA, the applicable legal requirements are met.

4.2 Parties with whom we share your personal data

To provide our services, we share your personal data exclusively on a “need-to-know” basis with:

  • consultants involved and reliable sources acting on behalf of Touch Network;
  • Subcontractors and service providers involved;
  • Individuals who are authorized to do so, are employed by or contracted by a data processor of Touch Network or its affiliated companies, and who are involved in the processing of HR data, based on a “need-to-know” principle (accounting and auditing firms, insurance and payroll processing companies, and tax authorities), such as Loket (payroll) and Personio (pensions);
  • Competent authorities, such as the country’s customs clearance authorities, to the extent required by the laws of the country in question; and
  • Incidentally: other third parties, on a “need-to-know” basis.
5. TRANSFER TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE EEA

5.1 Transfers

If necessary, we may transfer personal data to third parties located outside the EEA.

5.2 Transfer Outside the EEA

All data transfers are always conducted in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR and any additional recommendations or decisions issued in this regard by the European Data Protection Board (“EDPB”), the European Commission (“EC”), or any other competent authority or body under applicable privacy laws. If necessary, we may transfer personal data to third parties located outside the EEA.

5.3 Lawfulness of Transfers Outside the EEA

Transfers of your personal data to a country outside the EEA may be justified, first and foremost, on the basis of what is known as an adequacy decision. This is a decision in which the European Commission determines that, for example, a particular country provides a level of data protection comparable to that of the GDPR. The European Commission publishes an up-to-date overview of these decisions.

If and to the extent that we transfer personal data to third countries for which no adequacy decision applies, we will enter into the applicable version of the model clauses published by the European Commission to ensure data protection, known as the Standard Contractual Clauses (“Transfer SCCs”). If deemed necessary under applicable privacy laws, additional measures will be taken. These may include technical, organizational, and/or contractual measures.

6. SECURITY

6.1 Security Measures.

We take appropriate organizational and technical security measures to protect your personal data and prevent its misuse, loss, or alteration. In addition, we restrict access to personal data to those employees, consultants, contractors, and other third parties who need access in the course of their work or the services they provide. The aforementioned individuals are also bound by a duty of confidentiality, either through their employment contracts or through (data processing) agreements.

6.2 Security Policy

We have internal security policies that describe in detail how we ensure an appropriate level of technical and organizational security measures. We have implemented an information security management system based on ISO 27001. For example, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and the individuals concerned if required by applicable privacy laws.

7. RETENTION PERIODS

7.1 General Rule

As a general rule, we do not retain your personal data for longer than is strictly necessary for the purposes for which we process your personal data.

7.2 Exception: Shorter Retention Period

If you or another person successfully exercises one of your privacy rights, the personal data in question may no longer be permitted to be retained. In such cases, we may process your personal data for a shorter period than specified under the “general rule.” See the “Your Rights” section below for more information on this.

7.3 Exception: Longer Retention Period

In exceptional cases, we may process your personal data for a longer period. In such cases, we may process your personal data for longer than specified under the “general rule.” This applies if we need to process your personal data for a longer period in light of:

  • A longer statutory minimum retention period applicable to Touch Network or another specific legal obligation;
  • Practical considerations: To ensure compliance with statutory retention periods in practice, some retention periods have been categorized and others have been combined;
  • Legal proceedings;
  • The right to freedom of expression and to information;
  • A task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller.

8. YOUR RIGHTS (INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO OBJECT)

8.1 With regard to our processing of your personal data, you have the privacy rights listed below. You can find more information about your privacy rights on the European Commission’s website.

Right to Withdraw Consent

To the extent that our processing of your personal data is based on your consent (see above), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Right of Access

You have the right to request access to your personal data. This allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you (though not necessarily the documents themselves). We will also provide you with further information about how we process your personal data.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request the correction of the personal data we hold about you. This allows you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to delete or erase personal data when: (i) the personal data is no longer necessary, (ii) you have withdrawn your consent, (iii) you have objected to the processing activities, (iv) the personal data has been processed unlawfully, (v) the personal data must be erased pursuant to a legal obligation, or (vi) the personal data was collected in connection with the provision of information society services. We are not required to comply with your request to the extent that the processing is necessary: (i) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, (ii) to comply with a legal obligation that requires such processing, (iii) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, (iv) for archiving purposes, or (v) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data when we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for the processing (see above). To the extent that the processing of your personal data is carried out for direct marketing purposes, we will always comply with your request. Even when processing is carried out for other purposes, we will cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or that are related to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to Restriction

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data if: (i) you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for the period during which we verify your request, (ii) the processing is unlawful and you request restriction instead of erasure, (iii) we no longer need the personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or (iv) you have objected to the processing, during the period in which we verify your request. If we have restricted the processing of your personal data, this means that we will only store it and will no longer process it in any other way, unless: (i) with your consent, (ii) to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, (iii) to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, (iv) or for reasons of substantial public interest.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that your personal data be transferred to you or to a third party of your choice (right to data portability). We will provide your personal data to you or to that third party in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Please note that this right applies only to processing carried out by us using automated means, and only if our legal basis for such processing is your consent or the performance of a contract to which you are a party (see above).

Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that has significant consequences for you. In this regard, we would like to inform you that we do not use automated decision-making when processing your personal data.

Right to File a Complaint

In addition to the rights mentioned above, you have the right at any time to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, specifically in the EU member state where you have your habitual residence, where you work, or where an alleged violation of the GDPR has occurred. A list of supervisory authorities and their contact information is available through the European Commission. However, we would appreciate it if you would give us the opportunity to address your concerns before contacting the supervisory authority; therefore, please contact us first.

8.2 How to Exercise Your Rights

Exercising the above rights is free of charge and can be done by phone or email using the contact information provided below. If requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive—particularly due to their repetitive nature—we will either charge you a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with the request.

Verification of Your Identity

We may ask you for specific information to verify your identity before we respond to a request you submit regarding one of your rights.

Follow-up on Your Requests

We will inform you of the outcome of your request without undue delay and, in principle, within one month of receiving it. Depending on the complexity of the request and the number of requests, this period may be extended by an additional two months. We will notify you of any such extension within one month of receiving the request. Applicable privacy laws may allow or require us to deny your request. If we are unable to comply with your request, we will inform you of the reasons for this, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
