AESINTRA is committed to acting in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 – General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection legislation, namely the national legislation that complements the GDPR, and as such to communicate transparently about the personal data collected and the type of processing it performs, to protect the security, privacy and confidentiality of personal data, to provide adequate mechanisms for data subjects to exercise their rights over that data, to provide security systems designed to prevent the access, modification, destruction or addition of personal data by unauthorized third parties and that allow for the detection of possible information deviations, and organizational measures designed to maintain the control of personal data by its owners.
4. Basic Concepts
Personal Data is any information that, regardless of its nature or support, directly or in combination with other data, allows a natural person to be identified.
Therefore, Personal Data Subjects are natural persons identified or identifiable, directly or indirectly, through any information that concerns them.
Data Processing is the operation or set of operations performed on personal data by manual or automated means, including among others the collection, storage, use, copying and transfer of personal data.
Some personal data are, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), considered sensitive data, that is, they are classified as “Special Category Data”.
AESINTRA processes special category data, as it processes “Health Data”, defined in the Regulation as “personal data related to the physical or mental health of a natural person, including the provision of health services, which reveal information about their health status”.
Health data is restricted to access by health professionals (technicians with adequate training and legally qualified to carry out an activity with a direct impact on people’s health) in the provision of healthcare to data subjects.
5. Protection of Personal Data
AESINTRA considers the confidentiality of personal data to be one of the fundamental pillars in building relationships of trust with employees, collaborators, suppliers, partners, members, potential members and any other personal rights holders who are otherwise related to it.
In this sense, AESINTRA has implemented organizational measures, policies, procedures, processes and security systems adequate to protect personal data, namely access control mechanisms for information systems and personal data and security systems (e.g. firewalls, antivirus).
