While this information will not identify you personally, in some instances these third parties may be able to combine this aggregate information with other data they have about you, or that they receive from third parties, in a manner that allows them to identify you personally.

Where we do share your personal data with third parties, ISACA SCOTLAND takes steps to ensure that they use appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data

Legal Basis for The Processing of Personal Information.

Our processing of your personal information will be legitimised as follows:

(i) Whenever we require your consent for the processing of your personal information such processing will be justified pursuant to Article 6(1) lit. (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). This article in the GDPR describes when processing can be done lawfully.

(ii) If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and ISACA SCOTLAND or for taking any pre-contractual steps upon your request, such processing will be based on GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (b).”). If this data is not processed, ISACA SCOTLAND will not be able to execute the contract with you.

(iii) Where the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation, we will process your information on basis of GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (c), for example complying in the fields of employment law.

(iv) And where the processing is necessary for the purposes of ISACA SCOTLAND’s legitimate interests, such processing will be made in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (f), for example to detect fraud.

Transferring Personal Data from the EU to the US:

ISACA Inc has its headquarters in the United States. Information ISACA SCOTLAND  collect from you may be processed in the United States and some ISACA SCOTLAND websites may be hosted by ISACA Inc in the USA

The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR). A finding of “adequacy” in short means that the European Commission has decided that this country outside the EEA ensures an adequate level of data protection. ISACA centrally relies on derogations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR as the United States has no “adequacy” decision and no other safeguards under the GDPR are in place (for example binding corporate rules on the transfer outside the EEA). In particular, ISACA SCOTLAND and ISACA centrally collects and transfers to the U.S. personal data only: with your explicit consent; to perform a contract with you; in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. If this data is not processed and transferred, ISACA SCOTLAND will not be able to execute the contract with you or you will not have access to any or all of the benefits and features associated with your transaction. ISACA SCOTLAND endeavours to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with ISACA SCOTLAND and the practices described in this Privacy Notice. ISACA SCOTLAND also minimises the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting or storing sensitive information about you.
