7. Provision to third parties
tna may exchange personal information as part of its services. tna may use third parties for these purposes, such as the IT suppliers of our website and systems, organizations for archive management, specialized advisors and other service providers, logistics or original equipment manufacturers. In this context, personal information will be provided to these third parties who may only process personal information for these purposes and not for their own purposes. tna only makes use of third party services if they comply with relevant privacy legislation.
Personal information may also be provided to third parties if tna is required to comply with a legal obligation. This may be the case, for example, with inspections by tax or customs administrations or other government watchdog agencies. If third parties must or may have access to your personal information, a processing agreement will be concluded, where necessary, in which agreements will be laid down that guarantee the correct and safe processing and confidentiality of your personal information. This happens in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Australia as well as outside the EEA and Australia.
8. Provision to other Group members and data transfer outside the EEA
Personal information may be transferred across borders to other members of the Group or to third parties for the purposes described in Chapter 4. This may also mean that personal information may be transferred to countries or regions without legislation protecting personal information equivalent to that enjoyed by visitors to tna’s website in their country of origin. In such cases, tna will take appropriate measures in each case, so that in a situation in which such a transfer of data takes place, such a transfer of data will always take place in a way that provides an “adequate level of protection”. This is done by making processing agreements with the third parties involved.
9. How tna secures your data
tna believes it is important that your personal information is protected against loss or unauthorized access. tna has therefore taken appropriate security measures at a level that is necessary in view of the nature and volume of the personal information that is processed. Furthermore, all tna employees have a duty of confidentiality and are only allowed to process personal information as required for their work.
tna employs the following security measures:
-
- user based access control;
- multiple factor device authentication;
- industry leading data and privacy protection services;
- user authentication;
- virus and threat detection;
- live and pre-delivery scanning of documents;
- public credential leak monitoring.
10. Data breach
Despite all technical and organizational security measures, a data breach can never be completely ruled out. Accordingly, tna has set up a dedicated email address that allows individuals to report incidents that may involve a data breach.
You can e-mail our Privacy Officer to report a data breach at: [email protected]
As required by relevant privacy legislation, any data breach that could have serious consequences for individuals will be reported to the relevant Privacy Authority and, if required, to the individuals whose personal information is involved in the data breach.
11. How long tna stores your data
tna will not process your personal information for longer than is necessary for the purposes stated in this privacy statement. This means that your personal information will be kept for as long as it is needed to achieve the purposes in question. Certain data must be kept longer, because tna has to comply with legal retention obligations, such as the retention obligation for tax purposes. For a complete list refer to chapter 6 above.
