5. Recipients or categories of recipients of the data

Personal data and information is processed by GreenFlex Personnel (i.e. all natural persons, whether salaried or not by GreenFlex), and in particular by the communication departments and management.

The information may also be passed on to certain “Service Providers” (any natural person or legal entity who has entered into a service agreement with GreenFlex) to enable GreenFlex to provide you with the service(s) offered. These Service Providers act on the instructions of GreenFlex, and GreenFlex ensures that the data transmitted is processed only in the context of the performance and provision of services offered, unless the Data Subject has subscribed directly to the services of a Service Provider or has consented to the Service Provider using his/her data for the Service Provider’s own purposes.

6. Transfer of personal data

The data may be transferred to our subcontractors for the services that GreenFlex offers to the Data Subjects.

Any time that data is transferred to a third country outside of the European Economic Area, it is carried out in accordance with applicable laws and in a way that ensures that data are properly protected.

GreenFlex implements all the means at its disposal to ensure the protection and confidentiality of the data transferred and, in particular, ensures that Service Providers located outside the European Union ensure a level of data protection and the rights of the Data Subjects (and in particular their privacy) under conditions equivalent to those guaranteed within the European Union by the GDPR.

In particular, GreenFlex ensures, where possible, that standard contractual clauses, such as those validated by the European Commission, are signed with its Service Providers, and provides additional safeguards to ensure that Service Providers comply with the data processing and protection requirements as set out in the GDPR. GreenFlex ensures, for example, that changes in the legislation of the country where the Service Providers are located are not likely to have a significant negative impact on the guarantees and rights of the Data Subjects. Failing this, GreenFlex asks its Service Providers to process personal data exclusively in the territory of a Member State of the European Union, unless GreenFlex has given its express permission and the Service Provider has given special guarantees.

7. Security and confidentiality of personal data

GreenFlex implements appropriate measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk in terms of confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and, in particular, to prevent personal data from being distorted, damaged or communicated to unauthorised third parties.
