Privacy Policy

Introduction and Definitions​

1. INTRODUCTION

We process personal data for the operation of our website www.rpp-group.com (the “Website”). We keep such data in confidence and process them in accordance with the applicable laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Belgian Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. In this Privacy Policy we inform you which personal data we collect from you, for which purposes and on which legal basis we use them, to whom we disclose them where applicable, and which rights you have.

RPP also operates websites for initiatives it manages on behalf of clients and coalitions, for example www.letstalkprostatecancer.com. Each of those websites carries its own privacy notice, which names RPP as controller and refers to this Privacy Policy for the general provisions.

2. DEFINITION OF TERMS

Our Privacy Policy contains technical terms which are defined in the GDPR. For your better understanding we explain the two most important ones.

2.1 Personal data

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (Art. 4(1) of the GDPR). Data of an identified person might be, for instance, their name or email address. Data might also be personal if the identity is not directly recognisable but could be determined by combining information, for example an address, a date of birth, a user name, an IP address or location data.

2.2 Processing

“Processing” means any operation performed on personal data (Art. 4(2) of the GDPR), in particular the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data.

Framework of processing

5. FRAMEWORK OF PROCESSING: WEBSITE

We process the personal data listed under sections 6 to 13 below when you use the Website. We only process data that you actively enter on our Website (for example by completing a form or applying for a position) or that your device provides automatically when you use the Website.

Your data are processed by us and are not sold, leased or otherwise provided to third parties for their own purposes. Where we use external service providers, they act as processors on our instructions under written agreements. For the operation of the Website we use ALL-INKL.COM (Neue Medien Münnich, Friedersdorf, Germany) for hosting, with servers located in Germany, and external providers for maintenance, updates and further development. Where other service providers are used for individual processing activities, they are named in the relevant section.

Some of the services described below are provided by companies established in the United States. Where personal data are transferred there, we rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, where the provider is certified under it, or on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. You can ask us for details of the safeguards used.

The processing activities in detail

6. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND LOG FILES

6.1 Description of processing

Whenever anybody visits our Website, we automatically collect information that their browser transfers to our server, and store it in the log files of our system. This concerns your anonymised IP address: the last two blocks of the visitor’s IP address are truncated, so that 11.22.33.44 becomes 11.22.0.0. The temporary storage of your full IP address for the duration of the session is necessary to deliver the Website to your device. Your full IP address is not recorded in our log files.

6.2 Purpose

The processing allows the Website to be delivered and ensures its stability and security. In addition, the anonymised data serve for statistical analysis and the improvement of our online offer.

6.3 Legal basis

The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Our legitimate interest is the purpose stated in 6.2.
