The statements below describe how the Swing Studio product meets the legal requirements with regard to privacy and accessibility. Despite extensive testing, shortcomings can always occur. View our disclaimer on how to report a problem.
In Swing, data from different data sources, area levels (districts, municipalities, etc.) and over long time series can be brought together and offered via the intranet and/or internet to the organization and/or the public. With help of the online application Swing Studio, the data can easily be converted into different presentation formats. The users can combine indicators, time periods, area levels and presentation formats or can make use of pre-selected presentations and dynamic reports. To be able to present information to users in the private environment, personal data is processed . In principle, users of the private part of the platform represent the organization that employs them. From now on in this document by the term ‘users’ we understand those who make use of the private environment. ABF Research believes that it is important to handle personal data carefully. That is why the data is carefully processed and well secured. This takes into account the requirements of the privacy legislation. The following measures are part of the privacy policy.
The personal data is provided to ABF Research through direct user input in the Studio application or are made available to ABF by ABF's customers. The overview below specifies the personal data that is by default processed.
Because the user represents the organization that employs him/her, phone number and email address data practically belong to the organization.
Swing Studio does not process any personal data that applies under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as special or sensitive personal data.
Swing Studio processes personal data because it is necessary to implement the agreement including the use of the Studio application. Specifically, this may concern:
In Studio personal data is not kept longer than necessary to achieve the goals for which the information was collected.
ABF Research does not provide information of its users to third parties without explicit permission. With organizations that process personal data on behalf of ABF Research, we conclude a privacy agreement to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality.
Users have the right to view, correct or delete their personal data. For this reason an appointment can be made with the ABF Research project manager. It is important that one identifies him-/herself and this way can demonstrate that the information to be shown, corrected or removed belong to the person with the identification. It is not allowed to access data from other people. Other rights that users have, are the right to transfer their personal data (data portability) and the right to object to processing. Finally, a user can submit a request to delete the account and their personal data. For this purpose, the ABF Research project manager can be contacted.
