Processing of personal data of our members’ employees

We process the personal data of employees of our member organisations:

  • for information exchange and communication within the organisation (eg email address, relationship with organisation);
  • to manage membership relationships (eg, name, email address, relationship with member organisation);
  • to organise and capture events (eg name, email address, picture);
  • to record and share online events with members (eg video recording, name);

  • to participate in the work of external committees and boards (eg name, email address, relationship with member organisation);
  • to organise marketing and communication (eg name, photo, relationship with member organisation).

We mainly process the data of employees of our member organizations on the basis of consent, but in some cases we also process personal data for compliance with a legal obligation (eg transmitting data to a representative of a member organization) and on the basis of legitimate interest (eg managing membership relationships). We process the personal data of employees of our member organizations, including retaining and transmitting, only on a legal basis and in accordance with legal requirements.

Processing the personal data of job applicants

When recruiting, we process the applicants’ contact details and materials related to the application. The basis of the processing is the applicant’s consent. We retain the application materials for a year to resolve potential disputes on the basis of legitimate interest.

Processing the personal data of visitors of the websites we manage

Cookies are used on ITL websites to ensure an appropriate user experience and analyse website traffic statistics.

We use two types of cookies:

Transmission of the personal data

We transfer personal data only on a legal basis and in accordance with legal requirements.

Also, in regard to externally funded projects we transfer our employees’ and our member organisation employees’ personal data (eg name, relationship with the member organisation, event participation information) to project funders (eg a public authority or an institution of the European Union). We also transfer our employees’ personal data to national registers and occupational health authorities to perform legal obligations, and to other companies (eg banks and telecommunications companies) to provide employees with necessary tools.
