This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is addressed to:

• our prospective, current and former members of personnel;


• our suppliers who are natural persons (such as self-employed persons) or the representatives or contact persons of our prospective suppliers who are legal entities; and


• our website’s visitors and any third parties following our company, such as analysts and individuals having signed up for our newsletters.

The policy does not apply to any information processed about legal entities.

You are receiving this Privacy Policy because Phena is processing information about you which constitutes “personal data” and Phena considers the protection of your personal data and privacy a very important matter.

Phena is responsible for the processing of your personal data as it decides why and how it is processed, thereby acting as the “controller”. In this Privacy Policy, “we” or “us” refers to Phena.

As from 25 May 2018, Phena will be subject to and will comply with the revised data protection rules applicable in the European Union under the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”)[1] and this Privacy Policy will be effective.

In line with our commitment to protect your personal data, we want to inform you and explain in all transparency:

• why and how Phena collects, uses and stores your personal data; and


• what your rights and our obligations are in relation to such processing.

1. What type of personal data do we collect?

2. How do we protect personal data?

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to provide a level of security and confidentiality to your personal data. These measures take into account:

1. 
   
   
   
   • the state of the art of the technology;
   
   
   • the costs of its implementation;
   
   
   • the nature of the data;
   
   
   • and the risk of the processing.
   
   
   
   

The purpose thereof is to protect it against accidental or unlawful destruction or alteration, accidental loss, unauthorized disclosure or access and against other unlawful forms of processing.

Moreover, when handling your personal data, we:

1. 
   
   
   
   • only collect and process personal data which is adequate, relevant and not excessive, as required to meet the above purposes; and
   
   
   • ensure that your personal data remains up to date and accurate.
   
   
   
   

For the latter, we may request you to confirm the personal data we hold about you. You are also invited to spontaneously inform us whenever there is a change in your personal circumstances so we can ensure your personal data is kept up-to-dat
