Dear colleagues,
On 25 May 2018 the EU General Data Protection Legislation (GDPR) will come into effect. At industriAll European Trade Union we welcome this new legislation as it will put into law some of the best practices that we have followed for a long time. We want to take this opportunity to update you on how we handle your personal data.
Our main email product - our newsletter - includes updates and information about freely accessible industriAll Europe news and press releases. This is what readers sign up for.
We only collect and process your email addresses, we also collect the name connected to the email address. Please note that under GDPR you will have the right to ask us at any time to receive a copy of your processed personal data.
We do not disclose your email addresses to any third party, except to our service provider that distributes our newsletter. They have confirmed that they will be fully compliant with all aspects of GDPR by 25 May.
In order to subscribe to our newsletter, we use double opt-in, so new subscribers need to sign up themselves and verify their newsletter subscription by clicking on a link in a confirmation email. A such, we comply with GDPR’s requirement for consent.
Under GDPR you will have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. Our newsletters already contain a link to end your subscription immediately or modify it. Upon receipt of an unsubscribe request, we delete your personal data from our system. In addition, we periodically delete the personal data of subscribers who haven't opened an email in some time to keep our data clean and limited to an active subscriber base.
We constantly monitor how we handle your personal data to ensure that we fully comply with GDPR. Click here for more information on our privacy policy.
