Introduction
The purpose of this Privacy Policy document is to provide a concise policy statement regarding the Data Protection obligations of GlycoSeLect Ltd. This includes obligations in dealing with personal data, in order to ensure that the organisation complies with the requirements of the relevant Irish legislation, namely the Irish Data Protection Act (1988), and the Irish Data Protection (Amendment) Act (2003).
Rationale
GlycoSeLect must comply with the Data Protection principles set out in the relevant legislation. This Policy applies to all Personal Data collected, processed and stored by GlycoSeLect in relation to its staff, service providers and clients in the course of its activities. GlycoSeLect makes no distinction between the rights of Data Subjects who are employees and those who are not. All are treated equally under this Policy.
Scope
The policy covers both personal and sensitive personal data held in relation to data subjects by GlycoSeLect. The policy applies equally to personal data held in manual and automated form. All Personal and Sensitive Personal Data will be treated with equal care by GlycoSeLect. Both categories will be equally referred to as Personal Data in this Policy unless specifically stated otherwise.
GlycoSeLect as a data controller
In the course of its daily organisational activities, GlycoSeLect acquires, processes and stores personal data in relation to:
• Employees of GlycoSeLect
• Customers of GlycoSeLect
• Third-party service providers engaged by GlycoSeLect
In accordance with the Irish Data Protection legislation, this data must be acquired and managed fairly. Not all staff members will be expected to be experts in Data Protection legislation. However, GlycoSeLect is committed to ensuring that its staff have sufficient awareness of the legislation in order to be able to anticipate and identify a Data Protection issue, should one arise. In such circumstances, staff must ensure that GlycoSeLect is informed in order that appropriate corrective action is taken.
In order to provide services, GlycoSeLect collects some Customer Personal Data, which may include customer name, email address and phone number. These data are provided voluntarily by the user through GlycoSeLect’s website form.
For the purposes of tracking the traffic to the web, GlycoSeLect uses cookies that collect anonymous information on the user sessions. These cookies cannot be used to identify personal information. The data is collected automatically when a user visits any GlycoSeLect page.
Due to the nature of the services provided by GlycoSeLect, there is a regular and active exchange of personal data between GlycoSeLect and its Data Subjects. In addition, GlycoSeLect exchanges personal data with Data Processors on the Data Subjects’ behalf. This is consistent with GlycoSeLect’s obligations under the terms of its contract with its Data Processors.
This policy provides the guidelines for this exchange of information, as well as the procedure to follow in the event that a GlycoSeLect staff member is unsure whether such data can be disclosed.
Subject access requests
Any formal, written request by a Data Subject for a copy of their personal data (a Subject Access Request) will be referred, as soon as possible, to GlycoSeLect, and will be processed as soon as possible.
