  • 4. Your rights

    Below, you will find a list of the rights you are subject to. Please note that some of the enlisted rights may be limited for the requests, which expose personal information of another individual, who is subject to the very same rights of privacy. In such a case, we will not be able to satisfy your request for data deletion, if it contains information we are eligible to keep by law.

    1. The right to be informed and to access information. You have legal rights to access your personal data, as well as request it, if we use this data for any purpose. Complying with our general policy, we will provide you with a free copy of your personal information in use within a month, after we receive your request. We will send your information in use via a password-protected PDF file. For excessive or repeated requests, we are eligible to charge a fee. In case of numerous or complex requests, we are eligible to prolong our response time by as much as two additional months. Under such circumstances, you will be informed about the reasons of these extensions. In case we refuse to address a particular request, we will explain why it happens and provide you with a list of further actions you are eligible to proceed. If you will take any further action, we will require two trusted IDs from you to prove your identity. You may forward your requests to our Data Protection Officer (dpo@altoros.com). Please provide information about the nature of your request to help us to process your enquiry.

    2. The right for rectification. In case you believe we store any of your personal data, which is incorrect or incomplete, you may request us to correct or supplement it. You also have the right to introduce changes to your information by logging into your account with us.

    3. The right to erase, or "the right to be forgotten." Under this principle, you may request us to delete or remove your personal data, if there is no solid reason for your data continued processing. If you would like us to remove you from our database, please e-mail to dpo@altoros.com. The right to be forgotten may be brought into force under the following reasons:

      • Data, which no longer has a relation to its original purpose of collection.
      • You withdraw consent with respect to the original reason data was processed under, and there is no other reason for us to continue to store and process your personal data.
      • You have objections to processing your personal data, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for us to continue processing it.
      • Your personal data has been unlawfully processed.
      • Your personal data has to be deleted to comply with a legal obligation in the European Union or Member State law to which Altoros is subject.
      • Your personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services.
    4. The right to restrict processing. Under this right, you may request us to limit processing your personal data. In this regard, we are eligible to store information that is sufficient to identify which data you want to be blocked, but cannot process it further. The right to restrict processing applies to the following cases:

      • Where you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will restrict data processing until we have verified the accuracy of your personal data.
      • Where you have objected to data processing under legitimate interests, we will consider whether our legitimate interests override yours.
      • When data processing is unlawful, and you oppose data deletion and request restriction instead.
      • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require this data to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.
    5. If we have disclosed your personal data in question to third parties, we will inform them about the restriction on data processing, unless it is impossible or involves disproportionate effort to do so. We will inform you, if we decide to lift a restriction on data processing.

    6. The right to object. You are eligible to object to processing your personal data based on legitimate interests (including profiling) and direct marketing (including profiling). The objection must be on “grounds relating to his or her particular situation.” We will inform you of your right to object in the first communication you receive from us. We will stop processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes, as soon as we receive an objection.

    7. The right to data portability. You are eligible to obtain your personal data, which is processed by Altoros, to use it for your own purposes. It means you have the right to receive your personal data—that you have shared with us—in a structured machine readable format, so you can further transfer the data to a different data controller. This right applies in the following circumstances:

      • Where you have provided the data to Altoros.
      • Where data processing is carried out, because you have given Altoros your consent to do so.
      • Where data processing is carried out to develop a contract between you and Altoros.
      • Where data processing is carried out automatically. (No membership data is processed using automated means, so this right does not apply.)
    8. Withdrawal of consent. If we process your personal data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any point in time. Please note that if you exercise this right, you may have to provide your consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain personal data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our services.

    9. Right to file a complaint. You have the right to file a complaint about manipulations applied to your data by Altoros with the supervisory authority of your country or a European Union Member State.

    It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your working relationship with us.

  • 5. Data security and protection

    We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorised way.

    We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties on a need-to-know basis, i.e., who need the access in order to fulfil the tasks and duties relating to a service provision. All service providers are permitted to process your personal data based on our instructions, they are subject to a duty of confidentiality, and they are required to be compliant and demonstrate the compliance with personal data protection and secuгity.

    Our IT systems are protected against unauthorised access with various level of controlled and password-protected access rights.

    When transferring or disclosing your personal data, the safety measures vary based on the sensitivity of data and may include, e.g., strong identification of the recipient and encryption of the transferred information.

    Any sensitive information (such as health-related information or any sensitive data required by local legislation) will usually be used separately from other personal data, and access rights to such sensitive personal data are granted only with weighty reasons to persons making decisions, usually HR representatives, as well as direct manager and direct manager’s manager.

    We have implemented procedures to deal with any actual or suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable authority about breach, when we are legally required to do so.

    We are avoiding personal data collection and usage in a paper format. If required so, paper documents and copies will always be stored in locked-up premises. Our IT organization together with our DPO and Information Security Manager monitor the safety and integrity of personal data protection on a regular basis and have implemented technical measures to prevent and detect any safety breaches that may threaten your personal data.

  • 6. Data transfer outside EEA

Headquartered in the USA, Altoros is an international company with the offices in Norway, Finland, Argentina (there is adequacy decision of the European Commission), and Belarus.
