Privacy and Personal Data

Our Commitment to Your Privacy: Understanding GDPR Principles

At Adria Forum, we take your privacy seriously. The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) aims to protect the fundamental rights of individuals, ensuring their personal data is handled with the utmost care. But what does this mean for you and your interactions with us?

Let’s break it down together.

Why GDPR Matters

Imagine your personal data as precious jewels. The GDPR acts like a security system, ensuring those jewels are safeguarded and only accessed when absolutely necessary. When we handle your personal data, we follow strict principles to make sure your information stays protected and is used appropriately.

The Purpose and Justification

Whenever we process personal data, we need two things: a clear purpose and a solid justification. Think of the purpose as the “why” behind collecting your data. Why do we need it? The justification is the “permission slip” that allows us to handle it. The GDPR outlines several reasons that can justify data processing:

  1. Your Consent: We ask for your permission to use your data.
  2. Contract Execution: We need your data to fulfill an agreement, like processing an order or providing a service.
  3. Legal Obligations: Sometimes, the law requires us to collect and use your data.
  4. Vital Interests: In emergencies, your data might be necessary to protect your life or health.
  5. Public Interest: We might process your data to perform a task that benefits the public.
  6. Legitimate Interests: We use your data for legitimate reasons, as long as it doesn’t override your rights.

If at any point these reasons no longer apply, we stop processing your data.

Our Principles for Data Processing

To keep your data safe and your trust intact, we adhere to these core principles:

  1. Accuracy and Transparency: We believe in being honest and clear about how we use your data. We inform you as fully as possible.
  2. Purpose Limitation: We use your data only for the reasons we collected it. No surprises!
  3. Data Minimization: We collect only what’s necessary. Think of it as packing light for a trip – just the essentials.
  4. Accuracy: We strive to keep your data accurate and up-to-date.
  5. Storage Limitation: We keep your data only as long as needed. Once it’s no longer necessary, we securely dispose of it.
  6. Security: Your data’s security is our priority. We use various measures to protect it from unauthorized access.

How We Handle Your Data on Our Website

When you visit our website, www.adria-forum.eu, you might be asked to provide information, such as when you fill out a form or respond to a survey. Rest assured, any data you provide is used exclusively to fulfill your request. We won’t share your information with third parties without your consent unless it’s necessary to process your request.

For example, if you’re requesting information about a product, we’ll use your data to respond to that request and nothing more. We follow the GDPR’s principle of ‘data minimisation,’ ensuring we collect only what’s necessary for the task at hand. It’s like using just the right amount of ingredients in a recipe – no more, no less.

Your Trust, Our Responsibility

Your trust is our top priority. We’re committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring your privacy is respected. By following these GDPR principles, we aim to provide you with a secure and transparent experience.

If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your data, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and make sure you feel confident and informed about your interactions with us.
