Keeping the User’s information safe: WiredScore cares about the security of the User’s information, and uses commercially reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through WiredScore Certification. To protect the User’s privacy and security, WiredScore utilizes a two-stage registration process (it includes both requesting a unique password and sending an identity validation email to the User’s account) to verify the User’s identity before granting account access. The User is responsible for maintaining the secrecy of the unique password and account information, and for controlling access to email communications from WiredScore, at all times. However, WiredScore cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information the User transmits to WiredScore or guarantee that information on the service may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. WiredScore is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party.

WiredScore GDPR Policy

1. Introduction

WiredScore is committed to conducting its business in accordance with all applicable Data Protection laws and regulations and in line with the highest standards of ethical conduct.

This policy sets forth the expected behaviours of WiredScore Employees and Third Parties in relation to the collection, use, retention, transfer, disclosure and destruction of any Personal Data belonging to a WiredScore Contact (i.e. the Data Subject).

Personal Data is any information (including opinions and intentions) which relates to an identified or Identifiable Natural Person. Personal Data is subject to certain legal safeguards and other regulations, which impose restrictions on how organisations may process Personal Data. An organisation that handles Personal Data and makes decisions about its use is known as a Data Controller. WiredScore, as a Data Controller, is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Data Protection requirements outlined in this policy. Non-compliance may expose WiredScore to complaints, regulatory action, fines and/or reputational damage.

WiredScore’s leadership is fully committed to ensuring continued and effective implementation of this policy, and expects all WiredScore Employees and Third Parties to share in this commitment. Any breach of this policy will be taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action or business sanction. This policy has been approved by Arie Barendrecht, WiredScore CEO.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all WiredScore Entities where a Data Subject’s Personal Data is processed:

  •       In the context of the business activities of the WiredScore Entity.
  •       For the provision or offer of goods or services to individuals (including those provided or offered free-of-charge) by a WiredScore Entity.
  •       To actively monitor the behaviour of individuals.
  •       Monitoring the behaviour of individuals includes using data processing techniques such as persistent web browser cookies or dynamic IP address tracking to profile an individual with a view to:
    • Taking a decision about them.
    • Analysing or predicting their personal preferences , behaviours and attitudes.

This policy applies to all Processing of Personal Data in electronic form (including electronic mail and documents created with word processing software) or where it is held in manual files that are structured in a way that allows ready access to information about individuals. This policy has been designed to establish a worldwide baseline standard for the Processing and protection of Personal Data by all WiredScore Entities. Where national law imposes a requirement which is stricter than imposed by this policy, the requirements in national law must be followed. Furthermore, where national law imposes a requirement that is not addressed in this policy, the relevant national law must be adhered to. If there are conflicting requirements in this policy and national law, please consult with our DPO (Sanj) for guidance. The protection of Personal Data belonging to WiredScore Employees is not within the scope of this policy. [It is covered in the WiredScore ‘Data Protection for Employee Data’ policy.]

3. Policy

The management team of each WiredScore Entity must ensure that all WiredScore Employees responsible for the Processing of Personal Data are aware of and comply with the contents of this policy. In addition, each WiredScore Entity will make sure all Third Parties engaged to Process Personal Data on their behalf (i.e. their Data Processors) are aware of and comply with the contents of this policy. Assurance of such compliance must be obtained from all Third Parties, whether companies or individuals, prior to granting them access to Personal Data controlled by WiredScore.

Data Protection Principles

WiredScore has adopted the following principles to govern its collection, use, retention, transfer, disclosure and destruction of Personal Data:

Principle 1: Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency

Personal Data shall be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the Data Subject. This means, WiredScore must tell the Data Subject what Processing will occur (transparency), the Processing must match the description given to the Data Subject (fairness), and it must be for one of the purposes specified in the applicable Data Protection regulation (lawfulness).

Principle 2: Purpose Limitation

Personal Data shall be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further Processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. This means WiredScore must specify exactly what the Personal Data collected will be used for and limit the Processing of that Personal Data to only what is necessary to meet the specified purpose.

Principle 3: Data Minimisation

Personal Data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are Processed. This means WiredScore must not store any Personal Data beyond what is strictly required.

Principle 4: Accuracy

Personal Data shall be accurate and, kept up to date. This means WiredScore must have in place processes for identifying and addressing out-of-date, incorrect and redundant Personal Data.

Principle 5: Storage Limitation

Personal Data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data is Processed. This means WiredScore must, wherever possible, store Personal Data in a way that limits or prevents identification of the Data Subject.

Principle 6: Integrity & Confidentiality

Personal Data shall be Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the Personal Data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful Processing, and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. WiredScore must use appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of Personal Data is maintained at all times.

Principle 7: Accountability The Data Controller shall be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate compliance. This means WiredScore must demonstrate that the six Data Protection Principles (outlined above) are met for all Personal Data for which it is responsible.
