Our digital evidence ecosystem & protocols platform (“Platform”) provides a catalogue of digital measures and measurement solutions, and a collaborative framework for faster development of digital measures and measurement solutions improving regulatory decision-making of measurement solutions that support and improve regulatory and evidence-based decision-making.

This privacy policy applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Platform and services as well as for marketing, sales, customer agreements, recruitment processes, and when visiting our website.

DEEP acts under two distinct roles in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • As a Data Processor, when we process personal data on behalf of our members or clients (the “Data Controllers”) through the Platform.
  • As a Data Controller, we process personal data for our own purposes, such as website management, marketing, human resources, or supplier and customer relations.

This Privacy Policy explains how DEEP processes personal data in both roles, the security measures we apply, and how individuals can exercise their rights.

2. DESCRIPTION OF DATA SUBJECTS AND CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA

Processing of personal data concerns the following categories of data subjects:

  1. Users of our Platform (i.e. our Customer's employees);
  2. Website visitors; and
  3. Representatives of our customers.

Only personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy is processed, in accordance with the principle of data minimization.

We collect the following personal data through different means when you use our Platform or interact with Us. The type of data collected depends on the data subject and varies by assignments. This includes, but is not limited to the following:

  1. basic information, such as name, date and place of birth and contact details (email address, phone number);
  2. information relating to our relationship, such as services and order details, contract information, payment details, billing information;
  3. service-related information, e.g. user IDs, authentication credentials as well as data generated in connection with service provision e.g., login information, and how services are used;
  4. project related data such as data of the participants to the missions;
  5. your communication and interactions with us, such as correspondence, and service requests; and
  6. other data, which is based on your consent and defined in detail on a case-by-case basis.

As part of our recruitment process, we also collect and process data, which:

  1. Is generated or provided by you during the recruitment process (e.g. when you fill out an application form or provide information about you in an interview, or provide your CV);

  2. Is obtained from publicly available sources or third parties, to the extent permitted by applicable laws e.g. from your referees, recruitment consultants and external websites (e.g. LinkedIn) or for which you have provided consented.

We may collect and use for any purpose aggregated data and metadata of the Platform, where individual person is not identified, e.g., statistical data collected in connection with the use of our Platform. Such aggregated or anonymized data no longer constitutes personal data.

Retention criteria: We retain personal data for the duration of the contractual relationship and thereafter for as long as necessary to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting or contractual obligations. After that, we will securely dispose of your personal data by deletion or anonymization in accordance with applicable laws and internal policies.
