2. Purposes of processing, categories of personal data and lawful bases  

The Data Controller will process the information, manually or automatically, provided by the data subject, in a lawful, fair and transparent manner. To this end, it is important that the data subject informs of any changes that occur in his/her personal data, in order to keep them up to date.

Means of contact

The Data Controller will process the personal data of data subjects in order to manage and answer queries, doubts or requests made by them, through the means of contact made available to them.

The Data Controller will process, for this purpose, the following categories of data:

  • Identification data: name, surname;
  • Contact details: e-mail, telephone;
  • Other: any other information provided by the data subject via email or telephone.

In the event that the data subject provides personal data related to a third party, the data subject declares that the provision of personal data is lawful and undertakes to pass on the information contained in this Privacy Policy to said third party.

The lawfulness for the processing of personal data for this purpose is EDPR’s legitimate interest in the correct management of the data subjects’ queries, doubts or requests and their due attention and, where applicable, response thereto.

Suppliers and business contacts as recipients of e-mail communications

The Data Controller will use the contact details of data subjects for the purposes of professional location, management of contractual and commercial relations with the recipient or with the entity in which the recipient provides services, as appropriate, as well as resolution of queries and, where appropriate, complaints addressed to EDPR by the recipient of such communications.

The Data Controller will process, for this purpose, the contact details of the data subjects. The lawfulness for this processing is the execution of the contact or pre-contract between the parties.

On the other hand, the Data Controller will also process the contact details of the data subjects for the purpose of maintaining commercial relations with the third parties. The lawfulness for this processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in maintaining commercial relations.  This processing contributes to the achievement of the purposes of the Data Controller, promoting economic activity and productivity in the sector and the interest of the suppliers and business contact in which the data subject provides their services for the initiation or maintenance of the commercial relationship between the parties. In any case, the data subject may object at any time to the processing of his/her data for the aforementioned purpose, in accordance with the provisions of the section on the exercise of rights.

Due diligence measures for sponsorships and/or donations

The Data Controller may conduct an analysis of the adequacy of the sponsorships and/or donations’ beneficiaries (hereinafter the “Beneficiary”) in line with the EDPR Group's due diligence procedures, in accordance with EDPR's legitimate interests  in ensuring compliance with internal integrity requirements and policies in its relations with third parties on the occasion of sponsorships and/or donations, for which an assessment between EDPR's legitimate interests and the rights and freedoms of data subjects has been performed. In order to achieve this objective, the following checks will be carried out:

  • controls relating to the Beneficiary’s relationship with Politically Exposed Persons.
  • verification on the Beneficiary’s inclusion on national and international sanction lists or exclusion lists.
  • verification of the Beneficiary’s involvement in judicial and/or administrative proceedings that may lead to the commission of unlawful acts, directly or indirectly, related to EDPR, activities.
  • media checks on facts that may reveal reprehensible conduct by the Beneficiary.

The checks described above are necessary to prevent the risk of committing certain offences and to maintain an adequate level of integrity among the people who maintain relations of any kind with EDPR.

However, in order to prevent damage and potential negative consequences arising from such processing, technical and organisational measures have been taken to guarantee the appropriate use of this information and to reinforce its confidentiality and security. The Beneficiary may object to this processing in accordance with the provisions of the section on the rights of data subjects with regard to data protection.

Relationship with third parties for Purchases, Non-Binding Offers and Confidentiality Agreements

The Data Controller shall use personal data relating to the legal representatives, shareholders, employees or collaborators of the counterparty (hereinafter collectively the "counterparty") for:

  • The performance of the obligations set out in the relevant Contract (the non-binding offer, purchases or confidentiality agreement, as the case may be), the lawfulness of which lies in in the execution and performance of the corresponding contractual relationship.
  • Compliance with applicable legislation and/or to respond to requests from the authorities, the lawfulness of this processing is, precisely, compliance with the obligations to which EDPR is subject.
  • The exercise of legal actions or defence in judicial, administrative and/or extrajudicial proceedings, including in relation to debt recovery proceedings, also through third parties, in accordance with their legitimate interests in effective judicial protection.
  • The management of a possible merger, sale of assets or transfer of all or part of the business, by disclosing and transmitting the data to a third party or parties involved in the transaction as part of it, in accordance with the legal empowerment established by law in this regard.
  • The analysis of the adequacy of the counterparty in line with EDPR Group's due diligence procedures, in accordance with EDPR's legitimate interests in ensuring compliance with internal integrity requirements and policies in its relationships with third parties, for which an assessment between EDPR's legitimate interests and the rights and freedoms of data subjects has been performed. In order to achieve this objective, the following checks will be carried out:
    • controls relating to the counterparty's relationship with Politically Exposed Persons;
    • checks on the counterparty's inclusion on national and international sanctions lists or exclusion lists;
    • verification of the counterparty's involvement in judicial and/or administrative proceedings that may lead to the commission of unlawful acts that may affect, directly or indirectly, EDPR's activities.
    • Media checks on facts that may reveal reprehensible conduct by the counterparty.
      The checks described above are necessary to prevent the risk of committing certain offences and to maintain an adequate level of integrity among the people who maintain relations of any kind with EDPR. However, in order to avoid damage and potential negative consequences arising from such processing, technical and organisational measures have been taken to guarantee the appropriate use of this information and to reinforce its confidentiality and security. The other party may object to this processing in accordance with the provisions of the section on the rights of data subjects with regard to data protection.

The processing of the counterparty's data for the purposes based on the performance of a contract is necessary to achieve these purposes, as EDPR will not be able to perform the contractual relationship with the counterparty if it does not provide its personal data.
