Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 10 October 2022

Feedback EU will protect your personal information (such as your name and contact details, known as ‘personal data’) and will not share it with other people unless you give your consent. Your personal information is protected by specific legislation:

Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming (AVG)
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)
Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) 2003
Feedback EU is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and aims to be clear and open about how your data is used. We will not share your personal information with other people unless you give your consent and we won’t keep it for any longer than we need to.

This policy explains how we collect, manage, use and protect your personal data, including how we work with third parties.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RIGHTS

It is important that you understand your legal rights around your personal data and how we may use it.

RIGHT TO BE INFORMED

This Privacy Policy ensures that you are informed about how we will process your personal data. You might also see messages on some of our forms (or otherwise when we collect personal data from you) that explain why we ask for specific pieces of information from you.

RIGHT OF ACCESS

You have the right to access a copy of your personal data and receive certain information about what the data is and how and why we are processing it. Please note that we will require you to prove your identity before we disclose any information.

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

If you feel that any of the information that we hold about you is incorrect, do let us know so that we can look into it.

RIGHT TO OBJECT

You have the right to object to the processing that we have outlined in this policy.

RIGHT TO ERASURE / TO BE FORGOTTEN

You have the right to request that we delete your information and can discuss this with us at any time.
You should know that there are some circumstances where we may need to keep your details, for example, if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on us. If this situation occurs, then we will explain and discuss these circumstances with you.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

You can request that we restrict processing of your data, as an alternative to deleting it – this means that we will keep the data but stop processing for most purposes. You may want to exercise this right if you feel that the data is inaccurate, that our processing of it is unlawful, whilst we progress a request from you to object to processing, or if we have no further need of the data, but you require us to keep it in relation to the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

RIGHTS RELATED TO AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

You have rights to avoid being subject to decisions based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which has a significant effect on you. At Feedback we do not carry out any such processing.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to request a copy of certain personal data to have it transferred to another organisation in certain circumstances.
You should know that there are some circumstances where these rights may not apply, but where this is the case we will always explain this to you. Please do contact us if you have any questions or concerns on how we collect and use your personal data, or on your rights, as we are always happy to speak to you. You also have the right to make a complaint direct to Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) in the Netherlands. The AP can be contacted at:

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION IF YOU APPLY FOR A ROLE AT FEEDBACK EU

We collect information from anyone who applies to work or volunteer at Feedback-EU. We only use this information for our recruitment or employment purposes and it is entirely separate to our supporter data. As an applicant or employee, you are entitled to the same rights as our supporters, and these are outlined in our Rights section.

APPLICANTS

When you apply to work or volunteer at Feedback EU we will ask for information about you and your work history to understand how your skills and past experience match the requirements of a role.
We might disclose details outside of Feedback EU as we process your application in the following case:
We will ask for details of referees, and we will contact them to verify the information that you have given us – when we contact them, we will share your name and the role that you have applied for. We contact referees on the basis of our legitimate interests as an organisation to understand applicants and their suitability for the roles they apply for.
All candidates applying to work or to volunteer at Feedback EU will automatically have their application details saved and retained on our network for 6 months, details of candidates who are asked to interview but unsuccessful will be kept for 12 months.
If you would like for us to remove your personal details from our system at any time before that, please write to europe@feedbackglobal.org to request this.
You should know that we always keep anonymous statistical information about applicants to develop our recruitment processes and for equality and diversity monitoring, but this does not contain any information that could be used to identify individual job applicants.

EMPLOYEES

If you begin employment with us, we will put together a staff file, which will contain your information. We keep this information in this file secure and will only use it for matters that apply directly to your employment with Feedback.

We provide all of our employees with an internal privacy notice, which explains exactly how we process their data as an employee, including how we use their personal data in case of emergency, and how long we retain all of this information for.
