PFI processes personal data in order to provide and improve services and communicate with you as a stakeholder. In the context of our services PFI frequently hires a third party. You as a stakeholder decide whether or not to leave behind your personal data for this purpose. You can also subscribe or unsubscribe to newsletters or other forms of communication by PFI.

PFI processes the personal data mentioned below exclusively for the following purposes:
- a good and efficient service;

Which personal data will be processed?
PFI processes the following (types or categories) personal data for the service or those provided at the stakeholder´s own initiative:
Contact details of customers and suppliers, payment information, presentations and pictures.

Personal data processing principle
PFI processes the above mentioned personal data exclusively on the basis of following grounds as referred to in article 6 of the GDPR:
- legal obligation;
- execution of an agreement;
- permission obtained by stakeholder(s), for example, in the case of courses to be offered by PFI;
Sharing personal data with thirds
PFI only shares your personal data with third parties insofar these are necessary for the service in compliance with the aforementioned purposes. You could think of hiring another third party on behalf and by order of PFI, such as an IT-supplier, but also sub-consultants who are hired for the execution of the assignment.
Furthermore, PFI can pass on personal data to a third party, such as a supervisor or another publicly authorized body, as long as a legal obligation exists to do so.
With the third party, which on behalf and by order of PFI, processes your personal data, a processing agreement will be established by means of which that third party will also be held to comply with the GDPR. Third parties hired by PFI, who offer their services as a Controller, are for the (further) processing of your personal data severally responsible for their compliance with the GDPR. You could think of an accountant, notary or another party hired for the sake of the execution of the assignment.
Personal Data Protection
PFI attaches great importance to the security and protection of your personal data and ensures, taking into account the state of the art, suitable technical and organizational measures in order to guarantee a level of security customized to the possible risks.
