Any requests, complaints or notifications concerning personal data must be submitted to the controller in writing, using one of the contact methods available on the Website. The data subject must also provide a contact address to which the response and any related updates can be sent in writing. When submitting any request, complaint or notification, the applicant must provide appropriate proof of identity. This is necessary to prevent any breach of data confidentiality, the adoption of measures at the request of unauthorised or ineligible persons, or any risk to or infringement of the rights and legitimate interests of the data subjects whose personal data is concerned.<\/p> Where a request is submitted through an authorised representative, ViitorPlus will also appropriately verify the representative\u2019s identity and authority to act, including, where necessary, directly with the data subject.<\/p> Requests submitted by telephone, or requests for which the data subject\u2019s telephone number is the only available contact detail, will not be considered until they are submitted in writing under the conditions described above. Likewise, where the circumstances of a request give the controller reasonable grounds to question the applicant\u2019s identity or the lawfulness of the request, the controller may suspend its resolution until reasonable additional information or documentation is provided to verify the applicant\u2019s identity and\/or authority to act.<\/p> These requirements arise from our legal obligation and legitimate interest in demonstrating that we respect your rights under the GDPR and all applicable data protection legislation.<\/p> Every request will be resolved within 30 days of receipt.<\/strong><\/p> The response and any related communications will be sent in writing to the data subject or their authorised representative using the same method through which the controller received the request. For example, a request submitted by email will receive a response by email, while a request submitted by post will receive a response by post. The response may also be sent through another written communication method expressly and reasonably requested by the data subject or their authorised representative.<\/p> A personal data breach is a breach of personal data security, such as unauthorised processing carried out through any of the operations included in the definition of processing above. In the event of a personal data breach, the controller will notify ANSPDCP without undue delay and, where feasible, no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of it, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.<\/p> Where the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller will also inform the affected data subject appropriately, in accordance with the law and without undue delay.<\/p> By exception, the data subject will not be informed of a personal data breach where:<\/p> a) Appropriate technical and organisational protection measures have been implemented regarding the personal data affected by the breach, rendering the data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it;<\/p> b) The controller has taken subsequent measures ensuring that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of the affected data subjects is no longer likely to materialise;<\/p> c) Informing the data subject would involve disproportionate effort. In this case, a public announcement will be made through the controller\u2019s Website and, where appropriate, through another method considered necessary by ANSPDCP or capable of informing the affected data subjects in an equally effective manner.<\/p> Before and during the resolution of any request, complaint or notification, as well as in the event of any personal data breach, the controller\u2019s relationship with the data subject and the Supervisory Authority will be characterised by transparency and a willingness to cooperate.<\/p> Changes to the Privacy Policy<\/strong><\/p> If these privacy rules need to be amended, ViitorPlus will publish the relevant changes to ensure that complete and accurate information is provided about the data collected and how it is used.<\/p> Version published in June 2020<\/p> \u00a9 2020 VIITORPLUS<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t <\/span><\/p>\n ViitorPlus respects the privacy and personal data of everyone who interacts with the \u201cAdopt\u0103 un Copac\u201d programme, whether through the www.adoptauncopac.r<\/a>o Website or by participating in volunteering activities, donations, sponsorships or field events.<\/p>\n Through this Privacy Policy, we explain how we collect, use, store and protect personal data, as well as the rights available to each data subject.
