If Onapsis needs to transfer your personal data to a third party outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) we will ensure that your personal data is appropriately protected through standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission or other means approved by our supervisory authority.

We may disclose your personal data that we collect, or you provide as described in this Policy:

  • to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it;
  • to support our business (such as helping to provide our Services, for promotional and/or marketing purposes, and to provide you with information relevant to you such as product announcements, software updates, special offers, or other information) and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them;
  • to analytics providers such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect non-identifying information. Google provides some additional privacy options regarding its Analytics cookies at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

What rights do I have on the data you have about me?

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data Onapsis holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. You also have the right to have your personal data removed from our marketing database if you no longer wish to receive marketing communications. Please send your requests to [email protected]

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. Relevant exemptions are included in the GDPR. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.

How long will you keep my personal data?

For customers, partners and vendors, we will keep your personal data for up to six years after your contract with us ends or for as long as required pursuant to applicable legal and/or regulatory requirements.

For portal users, we will keep your personal data for as long as you are an active user of our Website and for up to five years after this. For marketing contacts, we will keep your personal data until your request us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your request). We will also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data indefinitely so that we can respect your request in future.

How do I complain about the use of my personal data?

If you would like to make a complaint about our use of your personal data please send details of your complaint, including the personal data it relates to, to [email protected]. We will investigate your complaint and respond as soon as we can, and no more than one month later. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to an EU data protection authority where you live, work or where you believe a breach may have occurred.

General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR")

Data and its protection are becoming increasingly important to individuals and enterprises. On May 25, 2018, the European Union reenacted the most significant piece of legislation intended to protect personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The GDPR is designed to establish one set of data protection rules across the EEA. The GDPR applies to organizations that process EEA personal data, even if that organization is established outside of the EEA.

The terms “Data Controller”, “Data Processor”, “Personal Data”, “Processing” and “Subprocessor” shall have the same meaning as defined in the Standard Contractual Clauses and Article 4 GDPR;

Pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR, Onapsis has certain obligations as Data Processor relating to its processing of personal data and expressly commits to:

  • Only act on written instructions of the Data Controller (i.e. customer set out in a Data Processing Agreement).
  • Implement technical and organizational measures to ensure the adequate protection of Customer’s Personal Data, which measures shall fulfil the requirements of the GDPR and specifically its Article 32.
  • Notify Data Controller, without undue delay, if Onapsis becomes aware of breaches of the protection of personal data and to the data protection authorities within 72 hours.
  • Engage Subprocessors (i.e. contractors) only with prior written authorization of the Data Controller.
  • Provide adequate safeguards to transfer Personal Data to a country outside the EEA (“Third country”), such as the standard contractual clauses.
  • Ensure that persons authorized to process Personal Data have committed themselves to Data Secrecy/Confidentiality Agreements.
  • Inform the Data Controller if Onapsis receives a request from a data protection authority or individuals to exercise data subject’s rights.
  • Upon Data Controller’s instruction, correct, delete or return all the Personal Data after the end of the provision of services.
  • Make available to the Data Controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance and cooperate in audits.

International Data Transfers

Pursuant to GDPR, when a Data Controller or Data Processor wishes to transfer personal data to a Third Country, the third country must ensure that it has an adequate level of protection for the personal data as determined by the European Commission (“Commission”) or provide appropriate safeguards on condition that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available.

Onapsis will continue to use European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCC”)   as a legal mechanism to legitimize international data transfers from the EEA to countries that are not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection and has deployed a mechanism that provides appropriate safeguards for the data. Therefore, third country transfer will be based on SCC and incorporated in the form of a Data Processing Agreements (“DPA”s) or other written agreements between Onapsis and its customers. Onapsis will not transfer personal data that processes on Customer’s behalf to any third country, unless and according to the Commission, a mechanism that provides appropriate safeguards for data is properly deployed.
