8. What principles govern the processing of your personal data?
NIALUM’s Data Protection Policy is based on the principle of proactive responsibility, according to which the data controller is responsible for complying with the regulatory and jurisprudential framework that governs said Policy, and is capable of demonstrating this to the competent control authorities. In this regard, the data controller shall be governed by the following principles that should serve as a guide and frame of reference for all its personnel in the processing of personal data:
Data protection by design: The data controller will apply, both at the time of determining the means of processing and at the time of the processing itself, appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as pseudonymization, designed to effectively implement data protection principles, such as data minimization, and integrate the necessary guarantees into the processing.
Data protection by default: The data controller will apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that, by default, only the personal data necessary for each of the specific purposes of the processing are processed.
Data protection throughout the information lifecycle: Measures that ensure the protection of personal data will be applicable throughout the complete lifecycle of the information.
Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency: Personal data will be processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner in relation to the data subject.
Purpose limitation: Personal data will be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes, and will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
Data minimization: Personal data will be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.
Accuracy: Personal data will be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; all reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate with respect to the purposes for which they are processed are erased or rectified without delay.
Storage limitation: Personal data will be kept in a manner that allows the identification of the data subjects for no longer than necessary for the purposes of processing the personal data.
Integrity and confidentiality: Personal data will be processed in such a way that ensures adequate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, by implementing appropriate technical or organizational measures.
Information and training: One of the keys to ensuring the protection of personal data is the training and information provided to the personnel involved in the processing of the data. Throughout the information lifecycle, all personnel with access to the data will be properly trained and informed about their obligations in relation to compliance with data protection regulations.
