Personal data may also be processed in conjunction with other entities and partners of UCIBIO-NOVA in collaboration for the completion of its mission and purposes.

WHAT IS THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA?

When the collecting and processing of personal data is required, UCIBIO-NOVA will have to resort to one of the following legal basis:

  • Compliance with legal obligations;

  • Execution of a contract or pre-contractual obligations;

  • Legitimate interest of the controller that justifies the processing, preceded by a data protection impact assessment;

When none of these are fit to justify the processing, UCIBIO-NOVA will resort to the consent of the data subject.

WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES OF THE PROCESSING CARRIED OUT?

c)       For internal record keeping and administrative purposes

UCIBIO-NOVA will only process personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, except when it may also be considered necessary for other purposes compatible with the original intent of the collection, especially regarding scientific or historical research and statistic purposes, which must comply with other legal requirements for the reuse of personal data.

HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION RETAINED?

In order to comply with the storage limitation principle and keep your personal data for no more than the time required to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy policy, UCIBIO-NOVA will establish time limits for erasure or periodic review. In certain cases, personal data might be stored for longer periods, insofar as the personal data is to be processed for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes.

 

WHAT SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN ADOPTED IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Information security and data protection are priorities for UCIBIO-NOVA. For this reason, UCIBIO-NOVA has implemented technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from possible data breaches and other cyber-incidents.

  • Period reviews of security systems and policies, in order to assure that personal data is secure;

  • Monitoring of technological infrastructures in order to prevent and detect irregularities.

 

IS YOUR DATA TRANSFERED OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION OR TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS?

Yes. It might be necessary, due to protocols or contractual obligations established with entities outside of the European Economic Area, to transfer personal data. In these cases, UCIBIO-NOVA will adopt appropriate, contractual or other, measures to mitigate the risks of each transfer of personal data.
