Where NUA Coach has reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the individual making the request, NUA Coach may request additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the data subject.

NUA Coach shall take reasonable steps to inform controllers and processors that are processing the data about the data subject's request.

Legality of Processing

Consent

Unless otherwise permitted by applicable legislation, NUA Coach shall obtain consent from data subjects before processing their personal data. The request for consent shall be presented in a manner that is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. The data subject shall have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

Fulfillment of a Contract

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, NUA Coach may process the data without obtaining additional consent.

Legal Obligation

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which NUA Coach is subject, NUA Coach may process the data without obtaining additional consent.

The privacy impact assessment shall include:

  • Consideration of how personal data will be processed and for what purposes
  • Assessment of whether the proposed processing of personal data is both necessary and proportionate to the purpose(s)
  • Assessment of the risks to individuals in the processing of personal data
  • What controls are necessary to address the identified risks and demonstrate compliance with legislation

The use of techniques such as data minimization, pseudonymization, and encryption shall be considered when applicable and appropriate.

Where a privacy impact assessment indicates that the processing of personal data would result in a high risk to data subjects and the organization cannot adequately address these risks, the supervisory authority shall be consulted before starting the processing of personal data.

Contracts Involving the Processing of Personal Data

NUA Coach shall ensure that all relationships in which personal data is processed on behalf of others are subject to a documented contract that includes the specific information and terms required by the applicable legislation.

Data Protection Officer

Applicable legislation may require NUA Coach to designate a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO must be an expert in data protection law and practices, and although the DPO may be a member of NUA Coach's existing staff, they shall be able to perform their duties and tasks independently. NUA Coach has designated an internal DPO to ensure compliance with the applicable legislation. The DPO is responsible for advising on data protection obligations, monitoring compliance, and serving as a point of contact for data subjects and the supervisory authority.

Data Breach Notification

It is NUA Coach's policy to be fair and proportionate when considering the actions to take to inform affected parties regarding breaches of personal data. In accordance with the applicable legislation, where a breach is known to have occurred that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, the relevant supervisory authority shall be informed within 72 hours. This will be managed in accordance with our security incident response process. NUA Coach shall keep a record of personal data breaches, regardless of whether notification is required. Failure to notify the supervisory authority of a breach may result in a fine, in addition to the fine imposed for the breach itself.
