We retain records relating to applicants and participants as part of our business. In order to assure the confidentiality of your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.

Processing and use of personal data, consent to data processing

  1. Participants are informed that their personal data are collected, stored, processed and used where necessary for the performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
    Pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this processing includes the transfer of personal data, as needed for the performance of the contract, to the USA and Canada, including the transfer of personal data to employers, including prospective employers in the countries listed. In these countries, data privacy protection is not as great as under European law. The Controller is obliged to take adequate measures to protect Participants’ personal data in such countries.
  2. Participants hereby consent to processing and use of special personal data (e.g. racial and ethnic origin, religious or ideological convictions or processing of biometric data for the unambiguous identification of a person) according to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.
  3. Participants are informed that it is not necessary to provide their consent. They are not obligated to consent, and there are no adverse consequences to refusal.
  4. Participants have the right to revoke their consent at any time in writing to the Controller. Revocation of consent does not affect the legality of any processing prior to such revocation.
  5. The Controller stores Participants’ personal data only as long as is necessary to perform the contract and for compliance with U.S Department of State visa regulations.
    Participants have the right to learn which of their personal data that has been processed upon request.
    Participants have the right to obtain correction by the Controller of any of their personal data that is inaccurate upon request without undue delay.

    Under the conditions of Art. 18 para. 1 GDPR Participants have the right for their per-sonal data to be restricted by the Controller upon request without undue delay.
