Everything contained in this extended policy is supplemented by the provisions of the general Privacy Policy, which shall apply to any matter not directly included herein.

​

​

Data Processing

Purposes

We utilize the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

​

  • Assessing Suitability for Programs: The data collected is used to evaluate the suitability of individuals for participation in PARSEC's programs, ensuring that they meet the necessary qualifications and requirements for the activities.

  • Personalized Recommendations: The data is used to provide personalized recommendations for professional development and training, tailored to the individual's background, skills, and interests.

  • Customized Training: The data helps in customizing training programs to suit the individual's specific needs and goals, ensuring that they receive the most relevant and effective training.

  • Certification and Accreditation: The data is used to certify and accredit individuals who complete the training programs, ensuring that they meet the necessary standards and requirements.

  • Staffing Services: The data is used to provide staffing services to organizations, matching qualified individuals with job openings that align with their skills and experience.

​

The processing of personal data is conducted with the utmost professionalism and security, ensuring that sensitive information is handled and processed by certified professionals in relevant fields, such as educators, doctors, and psychologists. This is always done in compliance with applicable codes of ethics and laws.

Usage

The data is used for these specific purposes and respects the principles of legitimate interest and data minimization under GDPR. Only the data strictly necessary is collected and used solely for the stated purposes.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of the data collected in this Extended Privacy Policy is as follows:

​

  1. Legitimate Interests: The processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of PARSEC to ensure the security and integrity of the data, and to provide accurate and reliable services to participants. This includes assessing suitability for programs, providing personalized recommendations and customized training, certifying and accrediting participants, and providing staffing services..

  2. Consent: The data subjects explicitly give their consent to the processing for the specific purposes mentioned above. This consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. It is essential to note that consent can be withdrawn at any time, and participants are informed of this right both on the page and documentation of the activities and in this extended privacy policy.

  3. Contractual Obligations: The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the participant is a party, such as the terms of service or a training agreement.

  4. Legal Obligations: The processing is necessary for PARSEC to comply with legal obligations, such as:

    • Ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the data provided by participants.

    • Preventing crimes related to false documentation, deception, or data manipulation.

    • Complying with applicable legislation regarding the provision of false or incomplete data.

​

Regarding the need for reliable data, it is essential and legally required that participants in PARSEC activities provide real, reliable, and complete data. Without complete and truthful information, PARSEC cannot guarantee the care and services provided to participants, and lying, misrepresentation, concealment, or falsification of the required data may have legal consequences that participants need to understand.

​

The European Union has established legal frameworks and directives that address the provision of false or incomplete information in various activities, including contractual dealings with educational institutions and the use of falsified diplomas. Directive 2005/36/EC on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications requires member states to ensure the authenticity of diplomas and impose sanctions for false qualifications. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) indirectly addresses falsified information through its accuracy principle. Council Framework Decision 2003/568/JHA on Combating Corruption in the Private Sector criminalizes fraud and deceit in contractual relations, while Directive 2014/24/EU on Public Procurement mandates the exclusion of candidates providing false information in tenders.

​

Additionally, Article 90 of the Swedish Criminal Code (Brottsbalken) criminalizes the provision of false or misleading information in certain contexts, such as official documents or statements. The Swedish Penal Code (Brottsbalken) contains provisions related to fraud and deception that could be applicable if participants intentionally provide false information to obtain certifications, contracts, or services.

​

Consequences of providing false or incomplete information can include criminal penalties, administrative sanctions, and civil liability. PARSEC reserves the right to denounce and take legal action if we detect false documentation, misleading or incomplete information, as well as to proceed to the expulsion of the participants who have carried out such actions and to claim the necessary compensation from them in the event that such acts cause breaches of contract or reputational damage.

Data Retention

PARSEC is committed to retaining the personal data referred to in this Extended Privacy Policy only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. The retention periods for different categories of data are as follows:

​

  • Curricular Data: Curricular data will be retained for a maximum of 2 years from the receipt of the Curriculum.

  • Customer Data: Customer data will be retained based on the purpose of processing, with data needed for ongoing agreements kept for the duration of the contract and data for other purposes retained for a specific period after contract termination.

  • Health Data: Health data will be retained for a minimum of 10 years from the date of the last treatment.

  • Personal Data: Personal data will be deleted once the purpose for which it was collected has been achieved.

  • Public Interest, Scientific, or Historical Research, or Statistical Purposes: Data may be stored for longer periods if archived for public interest, scientific, historical research, or statistical purposes.

Participants are encouraged to contact us for further information on data retention practices or to request the deletion of their data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
