Privacy policy

Privacy notice of EMOTiC for Training and Consulting.

The protection of the personal data of our website visitors is important to EMOTiC. We are committed to safeguarding such data in accordance with the applicable laws, as set out in this declaration.

This declaration does not extend to third-party websites that may be accessed through links on this website. EMOTiC is not legally responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

EMOTiC does not use any kind of cookies in its digital mailings, social media channels or website.

What is personal data?

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by their name, an identification number, location data or an online identifier, or on the basis of physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

How does EMOTiC collect and process personal data?

EMOTiC collects and processes the personal data of data subjects in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, as described in this declaration.

Apart from the technical log data described below, EMOTiC does not collect any data automatically. Data is only collected when visitors send us a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, apply for a training, request a document from our Library or send us an email. We add people to our newsletter only with their consent, and they can unsubscribe at any time.

EMOTiC processes personal data related to its website only to facilitate the use of this website and the contact preferences of data subjects. Personal data obtained through this website is not used for any individual evaluations.

EMOTiC reserves the right to evaluate pseudonymised or anonymised datasets for system security and for statistics (such as the number of users and page views) to improve the functioning of this website.

EMOTiC takes reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of personal information and stores all personal data on secure servers.

What kind of personal data does EMOTiC collect and process?

Like many site operators, EMOTiC collects information that visitors' browsers send whenever they visit our website ("log data"). This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser type and version, navigation through this website, the time and date of the visit and the time spent on individual pages.

This information is stored and used internally only for website traffic analysis. Where it is not evaluated, it is deleted immediately after the end of a session. If data subjects provide identifying information on forms on this website (for example their name or address), it is used only to answer the request or process the application and is not published.

When you request a document from our Library, we ask for your name, email, organisation and country, with your consent, so that we can provide the document. We keep these details for two years after your last download, or delete them earlier if you ask us to.

Disclosures

EMOTiC reserves the right to disclose information received directly from and about data subjects, as well as information obtained through website analytics, to its staff members, employees, officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors, insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this declaration.

EMOTiC may also disclose such personal information to the extent required by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure, where in our reasonable opinion that court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure.

Except as provided in this declaration, EMOTiC will not provide personal information about data subjects to third parties.

  2. The right to rectification: to have inaccurate personal data corrected, including having incomplete personal data completed, for example by providing a supplementary statement.
  3. The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): to have personal data erased where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
  4. The right to data portability: to receive the personal data they have provided to EMOTiC in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller without hindrance.
  5. The right to restriction of processing: to have the use of their personal data restricted, for example while its accuracy is being checked.
