Aim of the Data Protection Policy

SIRICTECH is fully committed to comply with applicable data protection laws, as we believe that ensuring data protection is the basis of trustworthy business relationships.

We are always working to stay compliant - encourage audits, certifications, and provide industry-standard contractual protections.

This Data Protection Policy ensures the level of data protection prescribed by the European Union Data Protection Regulations and provides one of the necessary framework conditions for cross-border data transmission.

This Data Protection Policy applies to all companies of the SIRICTECH Group, affiliated companies and their employees and is based on globally accepted, basic principles on data protection.

The latest version of the Data Protection Policy can be accessed with the data privacy information at SIRICTECH'S website .

Lawfulness of Processing

To make processing compliant, we should ensure it has at least one legitimate reason for processing (collecting, using, managing or disclosing) personal data. According to Article 6 (1) of EU Regulation No 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR) such reasons could be:

• the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
• processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Please note, that in some circumstances prior consent is not necessary. Article 6 (1) of EU Regulation No 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).
