– Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest
– Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Net4LIFE Project or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require protection of personal data

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Net4LIFE Project shall not disclose personal data to third parties, unless it is necessary for the implementation of the Project. In this respect, personal data might be disclosed to payment providers, software providers, cloud partner, external IT-consultants, insurance and employment companies, financial institutes and service providers (among others, translators and photographers).

If it is necessary for the Net4LIFE Project to disclose personal data to third parties, the third party concerned is required to use your personal data in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is however possible that Net4LIFE Project discloses personal data:

to the competent authorities (i) if Net4LIFE Project is obliged to do so under the law or under legal or future legal proceedings and (ii) to safeguard and defend your rights.
If Net4LIFE Project, or the majority of its assets, are taken over by a third party, in which case your personal data – which Net4LIFE Project has collected – shall be one of the transferred assets.
Exchange of the information among members – they do not have contractual agreements among each other.
In all other cases, Net4LIFE Project will not sell, hire out or pass on personal data to third parties, unless (i) approval from the data subject, or (ii) has completed a data processing agreement with the third party in question, which contains the necessary guarantees regarding confidentiality and privacy compliance of your personal data.

Data Subject’s Privacy Rights

In light of the processing of personal data, data subjects (you) enjoy the following privacy rights:

– Right to transferability of your personal data
– Right to object to/oppose the processing of your personal data

If a data subject wishes to invoke privacy rights, they can do so by submitting a written request by email (info@net4lifencp.eu)

In principle, data subjects can exercise these rights free of charge. In addition, data subject can always, via the personal account, update, modify and/or verify personal data, which were required to submit when registering.

Security of personal data

Net4LIFE Project undertakes to take reasonable, physical, technological and organisational precautions in order to avoid (i) unauthorised access to personal information, and (ii) loss, abuse or alteration of personal data.

Net4LIFE Project shall store all personal data, which it has collected on its servers.

However, an infallible level of security cannot be guaranteed. Since no method of transmission or forwarding over the internet, or any method of electronic storage is 100% secure, Net4LIFE Project is, in this context, not in a position to guarantee absolute security.

Finally, the security of data subjects’ accounts will also partly depend on the confidentiality and complexity of their passwords. Net4LIFE Project will never ask for passwords, meaning that data subjects will never be required to communicate it personally. If nonetheless communication of the password was forwarded to a third party, this third party will have access to the account and to the personal data. In such case, data subjects are liable for the transactions which occur as a result of the use made of their account. Net4LIFE Project therefore strongly advises the data subjects, to immediately change passwords and contact us when breaches have been reported.
