Your data, your rights

OIMAP processes your personal data with transparency and restraint. It collects only the information necessary for its services and keeps it for a limited period. The data protection officer ensures compliance with these rules.
This page describes the data collected, your rights and how to make contact. It supplements the legal notice and the page on cookies.

The data collected
Depending on the service, the Organisation collects identity data (name, position, organisation), contact details (email, telephone, address), professional data (qualifications, experience) and, for the Desk, documents proving ownership or provenance of a work.
No sensitive data in the strict sense is requested. If data of this nature appears in a file, it is processed with enhanced safeguards and limited to what is strictly necessary.



Why and on what basis
Each processing operation has a specific purpose: examining a certification request, enrolling an official in a training course, replying to a message, reviewing an application. The legal basis is, as the case may be, the performance of a public-interest task, compliance with a legal obligation or your consent.
For processing based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of operations already carried out.
Retention periods
Data is kept only as long as necessary. A message sent through the contact form is kept for three years (indicative). A certification file is kept for the validity period of the certificate, then archived for the period required by applicable law.
Unsuccessful applications are deleted after two years (indicative), unless the applicant agrees to be contacted about other offers.
Recipients and transfers
Only authorised staff access the data, within the limits of their duties. Technical providers act as processors and are bound by contract: they may use the data only on the Organisation's instructions.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area may take place, for example to the offices in New York, Singapore or Nairobi. They are governed by equivalent protection clauses.
