THE LAWFUL BASIS ON WHICH WE RELY TO PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

MMIST will process your personal information for lawful reasons only. As required by law, we will ensure there is a lawful basis for the processing of your personal information.

  • Where the processing is necessary to meet our legitimate business interests and there is a compelling justification for the processing and the processing is conducted in a way that is reasonably expected with minimal impact to an individual’s privacy rights, we will process your personal data under the lawful basis of LEGITIMATE INTEREST. 
  • Where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contractual arrangement with you, we will process your personal data under the lawful basis of CONTRACT. For example, we need to process your personal data to pay you in accordance with the requirements of any contract you may have with us, either on your own behalf, or on behalf of your employer.
  • Where the processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as compliance with applicable law, regulations, or court orders, we will process your personal data under the lawful basis of LEGAL OBLIGATION. For example, we often must process personal information with organizations such as tax authorities, credit reference agencies, criminal records and disclosed barring services and restricted party screening agencies.
  • Where the processing is necessary to obtain an individual’s consent to process their data, we will process your personal data under the lawful basis of CONSENT. We ensure that any consent is obtained via a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the individual’s agreement to the processing of their personal data (i.e. a positive opt-in). When the processing has multiple purposes, consent will be obtained for each of them. EXPLICIT CONSENT will be obtained using very clear and specific statements and any request for consent to process will be prominent and separate from our terms and conditions. Individuals can withdraw consent at any time and refuse to offer consent without detriment.

  • Legal Obligation. We are required by law to disclose or share your personal information to comply with a legal obligation.

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA INFORMATION

MMIST takes the security of your personal information seriously. We use technical and organizational measures to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. These measures prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, accessed, altered, used or disclosed in an unauthorized way. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.

  • Technical and organizational measures. All MMIST affiliates and third-party agencies are required to comply with the provisions of this Privacy Notice and will implement contractual or other safeguarding measures to ensure an adequate level of protection to protect your rights to privacy and your personal information, appropriate to the laws of your country of residence.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
