Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is of utmost importance to the GSOO. This privacy statement describes GSOO's policy concerning the gathering and sharing of visitors' information through the GSOO web site. It applies to all "GSOO sites" - that is, all sites within the "GSOO.org" domain name.
What information does GSOO collect?
Normal web site usage
In general, you can browse the GSOO site without telling us who you
are or revealing any personal information about yourself. The only information
we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs. These
include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type,
operating system, and information such as the web site that referred
you to us, the files you download, the pages you visit, and the dates/times
of those visits.
Collection of personally identifiable information
If you provide feedback,
via the contact form, you will be asked to provide personal information
such as your name, postal address and e-mail address.
This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission
and is kept in various GSOO databases and mailing lists in order to
contact you. These details are transferred to a secure file hosted outside
GSOO website.
Joining electronic discussion groups may mean that other participants
of the discussion group (including non-GSOO employees) will see personal
information that you have volunteered. For open discussion groups, this
information will be public.
What does GSOO do with the information it collects?
Normal web site usage
The information gathered during general browsing of the "GSOO.org"
domain is used to analyze trends and usage of the GSOO site and to improve
the usefulness of the site. It is not connected with any personal information.
Personally identifiable information
GSOO may use the personal information you provide to:
• Contact you - either in response to a query or suggestion, or
to mail newsletters, documents, publications etc. to you;
• "Remember" your online profile and preferences;
• Help you quickly find information that is relevant to you based
on your interests, and help us create site content most relevant to
you;
• Statistical analysis.
What if I don't want to provide personal information?
Providing personal information on the GSOO site is optional. If you
choose not to provide personal information, you can still browse and
use the GSOO site.
Opting out and changing your information
At any time, you can cancel or modify your information by returning
to the web page where you first provided the information and contacting
the focal point for that page/GSOO department.
Security
We do not sell or share any personally identifiable information volunteered
on the GSOO site to any third party. Any information provided to GSOO
by users of the GSOO site is held with the utmost care and security,
and will not be used in ways other than as set forth in this privacy
policy, or in any site-specific policies, or in ways to which you have
explicitly consented. GSOO employs a range of technologies and security
measures to protect the information maintained on our systems from loss,
misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
All our employees GSOO have access to, and are associated with the processing
of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of official
business matters, including personal data.
The GSOO site contains links to sites external to the GSOO.org domain.
GSOO is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
such sites.
Notification of changes
Changes to this privacy policy will be posted on the GSOO home page

GDPR Compliance
Statementt
We are committed to the principles inherent in the GDPR and particularly
to the concepts of privacy by design, the right to be forgotten, consent
and a risk-based approach. Your trust is important to us, and we are
dedicated to safeguarding your personal information.
We aim to ensure:
• transparency with regard to the use of data
• that any processing is lawful, fair, transparent and necessary
for a specific purpose. Data remains within GSOO. We do not share your
specific data with anyone else.
• that no changes are made to the data you submitted
• that data is removed when no longer necessary
• that data is kept safely and securely.
Right to be forgotten
We recognise the right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten, laid down in the GDPR.
Privacy
We implement data protection "by design and by default", as
required by the GDPR. Safeguards will be built our systems from the
earliest stage of development and privacy-friendly default settings
will be the norm. The privacy notice, as seen above, explains our lawful
basis for processing the data. We have conducted a privacy impact assessment
(PIA) to ensure that privacy risks have been properly considered and
addressed.
Data transfers outside the EU
We have put recognised procedures and safeguarding measures in place
to secure, encrypt and maintain the integrity of any personal data that
is stored outside the EU. Diligence checks are carried out to ensure
that such countries / data centers have the necessary safeguards in
place, provide enforceable data subject rights and offer effective legal
remedies for data subjects where applicable.
Data Loss
If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, the people affected will be informed as soon as possible.
