Personal data at InTouch solutions NV and guidelines to protect it
As cited above, the purpose of this Policy is to provide guidelines regarding the proper processing of Personal Data. Regardless of what type of Personal Data is processed and regardless of how that Personal Data is processed, each person must comply with the following 8 basic principles:
Customer data
We collect and process our customers' Personal Data, distinguishing 3 types of “Processing”:
- To provide our services;
- For administrative purposes (invoicing, agreements,...);
- for commercial purposes.
Personal Data obtained from our customers for the provision of our services.
Personal Data is processed in the context of the agreement entered into by the customer with us.
When we provide services to our clients, we receive and process Personal Data from citizens who make traffic violations and citizens with parking permits. The following are processed:
- personal data;
- car type;
- national registration number;
- natural person;
- language;
- gender;
- date of birth;
- phone;
- e-mail;
- name of business manager;
- identity director;
- identity holder;
- identification of fixer,
- photographs;
- location of offense, GPS coordinates;
- time;
- description;
- applicable article of law;
- creation date;
- notes;
- file number;
- determination number;
- charges;
- date of sending previous letters (to whom, by whom, when);
- amount of fine;
- payment information;
- contact time;
- defense, if any;
- license plate number
- bank account number;
- family situation.
When we process Personal Data from our customers to provide our services, we are a so-called “processor” of Personal Data. Consequently, the Data Processing Agreement should clearly define the roles and responsibilities with respect to the Processing of Personal Data. This Data Processing Agreement is added by default to the general terms and conditions of our agreements with our customers.
Only those responsible for the customer are granted access to and can access the customer's Personal Data in the context of providing services to the customer. Access to customer data will be recorded and “unauthorized access” to Personal Data will be reported to the DPO.
Furthermore, we must ensure that Personal Data is handled with care. Specifically, this means that:
- Anyone who has access to our customers' personal data expressly undertakes to respect confidentiality. The person concerned undertakes to use the information to which he has access in the performance of his duties only for the purpose for which it is intended and under no circumstances to transfer it to unauthorized third parties.
- The data should be properly protected: adequate protection measures should be taken to ensure that only “authorized” persons have access to the data and that no unauthorized access is possible.
- The data should be handled with due care, measures should be taken to prevent data loss (for example: the loss of USB stick, laptops, paper files,...).
- Data should be copied onto other systems, devices (e.g., laptops) or locations only when actually required. Copied data should also be protected.
- We do not share this data with other parties (external or within our network) except with the explicit consent of the customer.
- We only request and collect Personal Data from our customers that is truly necessary for the purposes to be achieved, we inform the customer of these purposes and will only use the Personal Data for these purposes.
- We retain Personal Data only as long as we need it. The archiving policy will be reviewed in this regard.
It should be noted that some of these principles are relevant not only to “Personal Data” but to “data in general” that we receive from our customers.
Personal data collected from our customers for administrative purposes
Before we provide services to new customers, pursuant to our acceptance procedures, we are required to collect certain data from the customer. Some of these data are Personal Data, such as contact details, information related to governance,... These data are maintained in our underwriting systems. Given its sensitivity, this data must be properly protected.
Once we provide our services, this data is used for billing and administrative purposes and is maintained in our internal ERP systems and databases. Our clients expect us to maintain this data in order to provide our services to them. This data is primarily administrative data. Therefore, the level of sensitivity is rather limited. However, we must ensure that we keep this data up-to-date and must prevent it from becoming publicly available.
Personal data collected for commercial purposes for existing customers and prospects
We also store customer data for commercial purposes in our CRM system. This includes data from our existing customers, former customers and prospects. This data is used to follow up on commercial opportunities, as well as for direct marketing and mailings.
The customer must be informed regarding the use of his/her data for commercial purposes. If the customer does not consent to the use of his/her data for commercial purposes, the data can no longer be used for this purpose. The best practice is that consent requires a positive action by the person concerned (for example: checking a box in a form). It is not sufficient if consent is inferred from a lack of action (for example, unchecking a box that is already checked).
For existing customers, we are permitted to use contact information for direct marketing purposes since we already have a contractual agreement with them. The main point of attention is that we no longer send messages to customers if they have opted out of receiving direct marketing messages (a so-called 'opt-out'). When customers opt out, they may no longer be contacted.
Personal data of prospects and former customers may only be processed on the basis of their consent.
Personal data left by individuals on the website may be processed in order to provide them with relevant information about our services. If we wish to send them direct marketing messages that are not linked to their requests, we must obtain their explicit consent.
Data of employees
We collect and process Personal Data from our own employees for HR purposes. The employee privacy statement clarifies the data processed byInTouch Solutions NV , as well as their purposes and the rights of data subjects. Specific guidelines have been provided to the external HR provider to manage this data appropriately.
Data breach
As an organization processing Personal Data, InTouch Solutions NV has an obligation to report certain Personal Data Breaches to the appropriate supervisory authority no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of them. InTouch Solutions NV must also keep a register of Personal Data Breaches.
A Personal Data Breach includes more than the mere loss of Personal Data. A Personal Data breach means a breach of security that accidentally or unlawfully results in the destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, transmitted, stored or otherwise processed data.
Examples of Personal Data breaches include:
- the loss of a USB flash drive, documents or cell phone (considering that you can access your e-mail via your cell phone, we wish to know);
- sending Personal Data to an incorrect address (e.g., via e-mail);
- computer equipment containing Personal Data that is lost or stolen;
- losing a hard copy file;
- opening an email attachment containing a virus that results in the computer equipment becoming unavailable;
- Reacting incorrectly to fishing attempts leading to password disclosure;
- ...
For this purpose, we need your help. If you are aware of a Personal Data breach, please contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of InTouch Solutions NV as soon as possible .
