4. FROM WHOM DOES TOKEN PROCESS PERSONAL DATA AS A CONTROLLER?

Token may collect Personal Data from the following Data Subjects:

 

Customers

Within the framework of our services and activities, we collect and process the professional identification and contact data of prospective/potential customers as well as our customers and clients, their staff, employees, appointees and other useful contacts.

 

The purposes of these processing operations are the execution of the agreements with our customers, customer management, contract and account management, executing the accounting, prospecting and direct marketing activities such as sending surveys, promotional or commercial information. The legal grounds are the execution of the agreement, the fulfilment of legal and regulatory obligations and/or our legitimate interest. The legal basis for prospecting and direct marketing is consent in jurisdictions where this is mandatory or, if permitted by the relevant Applicable Data Protection Laws, our legitimate interest in expanding our market share, increasing our customer base and publicizing our range of services. For marketing purposes, Token identifies individuals by select criteria as having roles relevant to receive certain information regarding services and products and does not harvest email addresses using computer programs or by scraping websites for this information. Only relevant professional information is used, such as the name, title, address and telephone number of an individual that appears in a professional or business directory, listing or notice. Token ensures that any such collection or use of Personal Data is done solely for a purpose that directly relates to the individual’s professional activities, including their business, role and/or profession.

 

Suppliers, contractors and business partners

 

We collect and process the identity and contact details of our suppliers, outsourcing partners, service providers, advisors, brokers, agents, consultants, contractors and subcontractors, as well as of certain of their staff, employees, appointees and other useful contact persons. The purposes of these processing operations are the execution of the agreement with these parties and the fulfillment of legal and regulatory obligations such as the management of the contractual relationship, administration, assessments/audits, and financial and accounting matters. The legal grounds are the execution of the agreement, execution of payments, the fulfilment of legal and regulatory obligations and/or our legitimate interest (such as for direct marketing).  

 

Personnel

 

We process the Personal Data of our employees as part of our personnel management and payroll administration. In view of its specific nature, this processing is regulated more comprehensively in an internal policy.

 

Candidates who apply for a job at Token

 

For our recruitment activities, Token may ask you for certain information, including identification and contact details, information about your education and employment, contact details and preferences, professional qualifications and jobs for which you wish to apply. You may also choose to provide Token with additional information, such as your CV or diploma, employment references and related information, and compensation requests. In addition, Token may collect information from third parties, based on your consent or on the basis of the consent you gave to such third parties such as temporary work agencies or recruitment agencies, for example in connection with a background check and/or an employment reference. Given its specific nature, this processing is regulated in more detail in our internal HR policy.

 

Other Persons

 

In addition to the Personal Data of customers, suppliers, contractors, business partners, job applicants and employees, we also process Personal Data of others, such as possible useful contacts within our sector, network contacts, contacts with government agencies, regulators, expert contacts, etc. The purposes of these processing operations are in the legitimate interest of our business, the execution of a contract or on the basis of a legal obligation. In addition, we also process Personal Data to comply with certain legal obligations. Finally, we may also process Personal Data when a person has given an unambiguous consent.

 

5. WHAT PERSONAL DATA DOES TOKEN PROCESS AS A CONTROLLER?

Depending on your activities and your relationship with Token, you may provide us with certain Personal Data. When you use the Sites or participate in Other Interactions with Token, Token will process certain information including Personal Data in connection with your use of the Sites or Other Interactions. Some information you provide directly to us, some we obtain by observing you interact with the Sites and some we obtain from public sources or from third parties. Personal Data processed by Token will vary based on the Sites you interact with, the nature of your Other Interactions with us, the Personal Data you may elect to provide and what Personal Data is collected passively as you interact with the Sites.

 

Token and our sub-processors may process Personal Data actively and passively. Active data processing is done for data that we request directly from a Data Subject. The Data Subject needs to actively provide this Personal Data. Passive data processing is done for data that is collected without asking the Data Subject for it. By way of example, this occurs when cookies on the Sites collect information about visitors to the Sites without the Data Subject activity inserting or otherwise providing data to the applicable Site. It may also refer to the passive processing of Personal Data without processing it in any other way other than receiving it, storing it or passing it on, without performing any analysis, modification or operation on it.

We require our employees, contractors and service providers to agree to confidentiality and data privacy obligations designed to safeguard Personal Data. In order to provide adequate protection for the transfer of your Personal Data, where appropriate, Token may share your Personal Data with other companies within the Token group if required for the purposes described in this Statement. This may involve the transfer of your Personal Data to countries outside your home country or region (including outside the EEA if that is your region) which may have a different level of data protection from your home country. We have contractual arrangements in place (such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses as appropriate) among our parent company and affiliates and with our suppliers/sub processors in respect of such transfers where applicable.

We only transfer your Personal Data to third parties under GDPR (recipients) if:

      • you have given your explicit consent for one or more specific purposes pursuant to Art. 6(1) Paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR,
      • disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims in accordance with Art. 6(1) para. 1(f) of the GDPR and there is no reason to assume that you have a primary, legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your Personal Data,
      • in case a legal obligation for disclosure exists according to Art. 6(1) Paragraph I(c) of the GDPR and
      • it is permitted by law and necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations in accordance with Art. 6(1) Paragraph 1 (b) of the GDPR.

Certain Personal Data collected by us will also be passed on to and possibly processed by third-party service providers, such as our hosting partners and IT suppliers, external partners assisting us with the support and further development of our IT tools, lawyers, data protection officers, and accountants, as well as by government or auditing authorities. These and other public authorities are entitled to request Personal Data from us to which we are legally obliged to respond in certain cases defined by law. In such cases, your Personal Data may be transmitted to these third parties but only for the purpose of the service in question.

The employees, managers and/or representatives of the above-mentioned service providers or institutions and the specialized service providers appointed by them are obligated to respect the confidential nature of your Personal Data and to use these data only for the purposes for which they were provided.

If necessary, your Personal Data may be passed on to other third parties. This may be the case, for example, if all or part of our business is reorganized, if our activities are transferred or if we are declared bankrupt. It is also possible that Personal Data may need to be transferred in response to a court order or to comply with a specific legal obligation. In this case, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you in advance of such communication to other third parties. However, you will acknowledge and understand that in certain circumstances, this may not be technically or commercially feasible, or that legal restrictions may apply.

Customers

 

We share your Personal Data in the event we have a legal obligation to do so, for instance to the regulatory or government bodies or agencies, or in case of legal proceedings, a court order or other mandatory legal injunction.

We may also share Personal Data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide a service you have requested or authorized.

In addition, we share Personal Data among Token affiliates and entities for our reporting, service delivery, business operations, direct marketing and communications.

We also share Personal Data with suppliers, outsourcing partners, service providers, processors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement, including, for example (this list is not limitative):

      • In individual instances, with professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers, including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in countries in which we operate who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services, and to the extent we are legally obliged to share or have a legitimate interest in sharing your Personal Data
      • Relevant third parties in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings)
      • As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests, including public and government authorities outside your country of residence, for national security and/or law enforcement purposes, provided if not otherwise prohibited, for third party notices specific to you, we notify you first and cooperate with you in any response to such third parties

We may also elect to share anonymous or pseudonymous usage data with Token third parties, sub-processors and service providers for the purpose of helping Token in such analysis and improvements. Additionally, Token may share such anonymous or pseudonymous usage data on an aggregate basis in the normal course of operating our business; for example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our Sites.

We might also share data with third parties where the data has and has not been deidentified or aggregated in a way so it cannot be used to identify you or your end users. We might share Personal Data for marketing purposes with event organizers, marketing services providers and we may also receive Personal Data from such services providers for the organization of events, marketing actions or email/blast campaigns provided such services providers have a legal basis to transfer such Personal Data to Token.

In such cases, these companies must abide by our data protection and security requirements and are not allowed to use Personal Data they receive from us for any other purpose.

Finally, we will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve Personal Data, including your content, when we believe that doing so is necessary to:

      • comply with applicable law (for instance: financial, accounting and administrative compliance) or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies
      • protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of our services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone
      • operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks
      • protect the rights or property of Token, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services – however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Token, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement

Some of our services include links to services of third parties whose data protection practices differ from Token. If you provide Personal Data to any of those services, your data is governed by their Data Protection Statements. In the event of a conflict between a Token Data Protection Statement and the terms of any agreement(s) between a party and Token, the terms of those agreement(s) will prevail.

Suppliers, contractors and business partners

We share only professional information if we have a legitimate interest or legal obligation to do so, including the following:

      • comply with applicable law (for instance: financial, accounting and administrative compliance) or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;
      • organize and facilitate collaborations between suppliers, outsourcing partners, service providers and subcontractors or between those parties and third parties which are interfacing with or complementary to them; or
      • protect the rights or property of Token

 

12. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We may retain your Personal Data for a period consistent with the original purpose of collection. We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data based on applicable legal requirements (such as applicable legal conservation periods or statutes of limitation). After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Data will be deleted. If there is any Personal Data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to restrict access and use of such Personal Data as required by applicable law. Website monitoring data are kept for 1 year or longer as per applicable legal requirements.

 

13. USER PROFILE, PREFERENCES, AND OPT-OUT

To gain full access to certain areas of the Sites, download materials, or subscribe to or participate in certain Token programs, Token may require you to create a user account and maintain a user profile. You can opt-out of electronic communications by clicking the unsubscribe or opt-out link in Token’s marketing communication. You can control your preferences for using the Site including opting into or out of Personal Data for marketing use and certain programs and interests in your user account by informing Token at privacy@Tokenring.com.

With your consent, your Personal Data will be added to Token’s internal mailing list so we can furnish you with information about our products and services and Token offerings, events, webinars and other information via email, telemarketing, fax, SMS, and postal mail, as legally permitted. Also, Token may disclose and transfer Personal Data to our marketing or other partners or resellers for the marketing of Token products and services. If you no longer want to receive communications from Token, you are free to withdraw your consent at any time via the Preference Center, however, please note that withdrawal of your consent of processing Personal Data may render Token unable to continue to provide access to certain Sites. If you withdraw your consent, it will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on your consent before you withdrew it. Some Token Sites may require separate user registrations for you to obtain the services offered on those Sites. Certain Token Sites will permit automatic access to other Token Sites so that by logging into one user account, you may automatically be signed in to other Token Sites. Other Token Sites may have different purposes, uses, and data collection techniques than those indicated in this Statement. Please always review the privacy statement of the Token Site that you access before providing your Personal Data.

Cookies may collect a unique identifier and store user Personal Data such as IP addresses, navigational data, server Personal Data, data transfer times, user preferences, and Personal Data including username and password you provide for a user account you establish.

To manage your privacy preferences, you may configure your Internet browser using the “Help” function in order to alert you when a cookie is sent or used and allow you the option to accept, reject or remove cookies. You can manage interest-based advertising or completely opt-out by indicating your choice in www.aboutads.info/choices. If you reject, disable or remove cookies, you might not be able to access certain pages or important functions on the Site. Remarketing tags such as a pixel tag or a clear GIF, and universal website tag are snippets of code that Token adds on certain pages of the Site. A tag is a “web beacon” that appears as a clear graphic image of a 1x1 pixel delivered through a web browser or an HTML compliant e-mail client application to a user’s device. Token uses these remarketing tags together with cookies to reach previous Site visitors for marketing activities.

 

Use of data collected with cookies and remarketing tags is governed by this Statement as to Token’s use, and by the respective service providers’ privacy policies as to their data use. Locally shared objects, also called “flash cookies,” are pieces of data that websites using Adobe Flash may store on your computer. Token will use the Personal Data collected to find out how you navigate the Site. You may disable this function by referring to www.adobe.com for Personal Data. If you disable or disallow locally shared objects, you might not be able to access certain pages or important functions on the Site. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and log files are used to identify server problems, improve Site content, and compile aggregated statistics about Site usage and clickstream data. The Site also uses electronic images, known as web beacons, to help personalize your experience and perform standard Site traffic analysis in a manner similar to the use of cookies. Token reserves the right to introduce new passive tracking technologies and techniques related to the use of the Site, subject to and in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.
