General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The GDPR came into force in May 2018, and requires that we provide you with the following information.
Legal basis
The GDPR requires us to state the lawful basis for the processing activity that we perform. Membership of the ADEE provides an implicit contract between the member and the ADEE: the ADEE provides user services for individuals who are employees or affiliated to the member institutions of the ADEE. If you are booking an event, the ADEE is running an event and the member wishes to attend it. The personal information is required to allow the ADEE to provide these services.
Data controller
The GDPR requires that we provide you with the identity of the 'Data Controller', who determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. For the ADEE, the data controller is the ADEE Executive Committee who can be contacted via the Administration Manager. Contact us following this link: contacts.
Data processor
The 'Processor' is responsible for processing personal data on behalf of a controller. For the ADEE, this is the Administrative Staff.
Lead data protection supervisory authority
The ADEE operates in many European countries but the data and processing activity is done on servers in Portugal. The ADEE opts to use the Portuguese Information Commissioner's Office as its lead data protection supervisory authority.
