Basis of processing

Personal data is only processed on the basis of:

  1. Consent: in the event that the data subject has given their unambiguous consent to the processing.

Access

  2. The Foundation ensures that employees have no more access to personal data than is strictly necessary for the proper performance of their work.

Time limit
