Aggregated statistics data

We may share non-personal aggregated statistics data about visitors to the site with third parties and download and traffic patterns with our publishing partners and other third parties. Just to be clear, this information does not identify users in any personal capacity; it just gives generalised information about the users of the site.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We only keep your information for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which we collected the data.

Under applicable data privacy legislation and with regards to the processing of personal information, the controller of your personal data is: INTER PARES | Parliaments in Partnership, International IDEA to EU office, Avenue des Arts 41, 1040 Brussels, Belgium.

WHERE DO WE TRANSFER YOUR INFORMATION?

We may transfer your information to, or store it in, countries located outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) which do not have as developed data protection laws. For example, if you are applying for a vacancy in one of International IDEA’s offices outside Sweden, the information you have provided will be shared with the hiring managers and the staff members in the selection panel for the vacancy in that country.

Please do not send us your information if you do not want it to be transferred to or stored outside the EEA. By providing your information to us you agree and consent to us transferring to, and storing your information at, a destination outside the EEA.

 

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE?

As required by Swedish Data Protection laws, including the Personal Data Act (1998:204), we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given to us, to prevent unauthorized access. In particular, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encode your personal information. SSL encrypts your contact details as it travels through the Internet.

Despite using this technology, we cannot guarantee the security of the information that you disclose to us. You accept the inherent risks of providing information and dealing on-line and will not hold us responsible for any breach of security unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

If you have any concerns about security, please email us at interpares@idea.int.

Your personal data

You have the right to obtain a copy of the personal information that we hold about you, whether collected through your use of this site or through any communications that you have had with us. You will need to provide us with a written signed request (e-mails are not accepted). We will provide this information free of charge for one request per calendar year. If you require more frequent copies of your information, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee to cover our costs for providing this information. If you have any queries about your right or wish to make such a request, please contact us by post addressed to the Head of Programme, International IDEA, Rue des Arts 41, Brussels, Belgium and we will do our best to resolve these within a reasonable time.
