PRIVACY NOTICE
Who am I?
My name is Bruno Stein and I am a freelancer based in Slovenia and as such subject to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation which came into force on 25 May 2018. You can contact me via the details provided on my website.
Why do I process your personal data?
I collect, store and use your personal data for the following purposes:
• To issue quotes
• To provide a translation, editing or consultancy service as requested by you
• To request a translation or proofreading service from you
• To comply with legal requirements
Personal data collected may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number and VAT number. Personal data may also include banking details or information on documents or videos sent for translation or editing. I do not use your personal data for marketing purposes, nor do I disclose it to unauthorized third parties.
Legal Grounds
The legal basis for processing your data is to perform the translation or editing services you request or to take necessary steps prior to fulfilling that request (“performance of a contract”), which may involve outsourcing your request to another translator/proofreader. This basis also applies if you provide me with a service.
How do I protect your data?
All data is processed on password-protected computers and is not accessible by third parties. These include updating my computers and devices regularly, having antivirus software and firewalls installed, and using securely stored back-ups and password protection.
Who else may have access to your personal data?
If I outsource a text containing personal data for translation or editing by a colleague, I will make sure that the colleague in question is also GDPR-compliant and ask them to process the document accordingly. For administrative purposes, other parties, including the providers of my cloud backup, website and email hosting services, may have access to your personal data. All these parties are also compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or in the case of US companies, are self-certified under the US Privacy Shield framework.
How long do I keep your personal data?
I will keep your personal data for 10 years unless you ask me to delete or remove it sooner. Should you ask me to delete translations before the 10-year period has expired, I cannot be held responsible for queries or claims relating to the content, as I have no way of verifying the accuracy of the original content.
What are your rights?
You may contact me at any time to request that I remove all your personal data contained in my files. I will do so without undue delay, and certainly no later than one month following receipt of the removal request.
