Security and Storage of Personal Information
en is committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure. We have appropriate and proportionate security measures in place to help protect your personal information.
Your personal information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff and contractors, and stored on secure servers which have features to prevent unauthorised access.
International Transfers of Your Personal Information
We will normally only transfer your personal information within the European Economic Area (‘EEA’), where all countries have the same level of data protection law under the GDPR.
Unfortunately, no transmission of your personal information over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure – however, once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try and prevent unauthorised access.
Lawful Basis for Processing Your Personal Information
The GDPR requires us to rely on one or more ‘lawful basis’ to use your personal information. We consider the basis listed below to be relevant:
Where necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract (for example, if you take out a subscription to en or place advertising in en).
Where there is a legitimate interest in us doing so, the GDPR allows us to collect and use your personal information if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate interests (as long as that use is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights).
In broad terms, our ‘legitimate interests’ means the interests of running en as a charitable entity and pursuing our aims and goals, for example by encouraging you to subscribe to or read articles from en.
When we use your personal information to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. We will not use your personal information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, for example where use would be excessively intrusive (unless, for instance, we are otherwise required to or permitted by law).
