No data will be transferred or divulged outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
Because of the technical or operative implementation of data processing, some of the data may be located in the systems of VASEK’s partners or subcontractors, or data may otherwise be processed via an electronic user’s license. VASEK or its partners may also use subcontractors for data processing. We do not permit subcontractors to disclose data for any other purposes.
VASEK/EnergyWeek shall have the right to use or disclose data if it is necessary due to law, to protect technology, to defend itself against legal claims or to file a claim.
9. The principles for the protection of the data register and the confidentiality of the customer data register
We are committed to making sure that appropriate measures are taken to keep our customers’ personal data safe. Our technical, administrative and physical processes are designed to protect personal data from being lost or being accessed, disclosed, used, changed or destroyed accidentally, illegally or without permission. Although we take care to protect our systems, we cannot guarantee that an Internet page, computer system or the transfer of data via the Internet or some other public network is 100% safe.
Data is collected into the system’s databases, which are protected with firewalls and other technical measures. The databases are located in locked and guarded facilities and only certain predetermined persons have access to the data. VASEK’s entire staff and any external persons acting on behalf of it are under an obligation of professional secrecy with regard to all customer data. The staff have been trained and instructed on the appropriate and safe processing of data.
