• 4. Reasons for processing

• 5. Who receives your personal data?

  ABC processes personal data in accordance with the purposes as stated under point 3.

  Your personal data may also be passed on to your internal contact person if he/she requests it.

  ABC will never store the data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the data has been collected, with due observance of the maximum statutory retention periods. If data no longer needs to be stored, all identifiable features or all data will be removed.

  For administrative reasons, ABC will archive your surname and first name, since it may not be possible to remove it from reports, attendances for training courses or attendance at meetings. The reason for this is that participation in training courses is also related to obtaining certain quality labels or diplomas that ABC must be able to consult at all times. Your personal data will of course not be actively updated anymore.

  If there are any changes to your personal data (e.g. name, address, e-mail address, etc.), kindly inform us so that we can correct or complete this data.

  If your data is incorrect and you have requested that your personal data be amended or if you believe that ABC is processing your personal data on an unlawful basis, you may request a restriction on the processing of your personal data.

  7.5. You may request to transfer your personal data directly to a third party

  If you wish, you may ask ABC to transfer the data that you provided to ABC to you or directly to a third party. However, the GDPR provides for a number of restrictions on this right, which means that it does not apply in all cases. This has to be examined on a case-by-case basis.
