In the event of non-compliance with the rights of data subjects, the Regulation confers on the natural persons concerned the right to lodge a complaint with the National Supervisory Authority.
If the complaint is admissible, it may be followed by an investigation by the requested data controller.
9. Responsibility of the operator
Taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the risks with varying degrees of probability and seriousness for the rights and freedoms of individuals, the controller shall ensure and be able to demonstrate that the processing is carried out in accordance with with the provisions of the EU Regulation, implements the following appropriate technical and organizational measures necessary to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of personal data:
9.1. User identification and authentication
User means any person acting under the authority of the Operator, the authorized person or the representative, with a recognized right of access to personal databases. Users, in order to gain access to a personal database, must identify themselves. The identification is done by entering the individual code from the keyboard accompanied by the user’s own password. Each user has a unique identification code, which can never be attributed to another user either concomitantly or subsequently. Identification codes (or user accounts) that have not been used for an extendedperiod of time will be deactivated and destroyed after a prior check by the Operator and/or the responsible person designated by the operator. Every user account is accompanied by an authentication method. Authentication is done by entering a password. Passwords are strings. The longer the string, the stronger the password is. When entering passwords, they should not be clearly displayed on the monitor. Personal passwords will be changed in the first working week of every month. Periodic change of passwords is done only by users authorized by the Operator. The operator must request the creation of an information system that automatically denies a user access after 5 wrong password entries. The use of the computer system requires maximum attention and accuracy. Each newly entered information will be made with complete and correct data. Each employee operating in the system is held accountable if entering false or incomplete data or improperly modifying existing information. Any user who receives an identification code and a means of authentication must maintain their confidentiality and be accountable to the Operator.
A specific procedure for the administration and management of user accounts will be established. Operators authorize certain users to revoke or suspend an identification and authentication code if their user has resigned or been fired, has entered into a contract, has been transferred to another service and the new tasks do not require access to personal data, abused the codes received or if he will be absent for a long pre-established period. Users’ access to manually made personal databases will be based on a list prepared by the data protection officer and approved by the operator’s management.
9.2. Type of access
Users should only access the personal data necessary for the performance of their duties. For this, operators must establish the types of access by functionality (such as: administration, input, processing, saving, etc.) and by actions applied to personal data (such as: write, read, delete), as well as procedures related to these types of access. The programmers of personal data processing systems will not have access to personal data. The operator will only allow programmers access to personal data after it has been transformed into anonymous data. The department that provides technical support may have access to personal data to resolve exceptional cases. Anonymous data will be used for the activity of preparing users or for making presentations. Employees who teach training courses will use personal data during their own training. The operator will establish the strict ways in which personal data will be destroyed. Authorization for this processing of personal data must be limited to a few users.
9.3. Data collection
The operator shall designate and train authorized users for the collection and input of personal data into an information system. Any modification of personal data may be made only by authorized users designated by the operator, based on a supporting document. The information system records who made the change, the date and time of the change. For better administration, the Operator will take measures for the information system to keep the data deleted or modified.
9.4. Execution of backups
Once every six months, backups of personal databases, as well as programs used for automated processing, will be backed up. Users performing these backups will be called by the operator in a limited number. The backups will be stored in other rooms, in locked files, where access is monitored.
9.5. Computers and access terminals
Computers and other access terminals will be installed in rooms with restricted and monitored access. If these conditions cannot be ensured, the computers will be installed in rooms that can be locked or measures will be taken to ensure that access to the server or access terminals is done with the help of keys or magnetic cards. If personal data appears on the screen that is not acted upon for a given period, set by the operator, the work session must be closed automatically. The length of this period is determined by the operations to be performed. The access terminals used by various collaborators, on which personal data appear, will be positioned in such a way that they cannot be seen by anyone other than the authorized user, and after a period of 10 minutes in which they are not acted upon, they must be hidden.
9.6. Access files
The information system allows any access to the personal database to be recorded in an access file (called a log for automatic processing) or in a register for manual processing of personal data. The information recorded in the access file or in the register will be:
- the identification code (username for manual personal databases);
- the name of the accessed file (file);
- the number of registrations made;
- the type of access;
- the code of the executed operation or the used program;
- the date of access (day, month, year);
- the time (second, minute, hour).
This information will be stored for automatic processing in a general access file or in separate files for each user. Any attempt at unauthorized access will also be recorded. The operator shall keep the access files for at least 5 years, to be used as evidence in case of investigations. If an investigation is prolonged, these files will be kept for as long as deemed necessary. The access files must make it possible for the Operator or the authorized person to identify the persons who have accessed personal data without a specific reason, in order to apply sanctions or notify the competent bodies.
9.7. Telecommunication systems
The company periodically controls the authentications and types of access to detect malfunctions in the use of telecommunications systems. The operator has designed the telecommunications system so that personal data cannot be intercepted or transmitted from anywhere. If the telecommunications system cannot be thus secured, the operator is obliged to impose the use of the encryption method for the transmission of personal data. Only strictly necessary personal data will be transmitted through telecommunications systems.
9.8. Staff training
During the training courses as well as on the occasion of the meetings organized within the company, the employees are informed about the provisions of the legislation for the protection of persons regarding the processing of personal data and the free movement of these data, the minimum data processing security requirements, as well as about the risks involved in the processing of personal data, depending on the specifics of the user’s activity. Users who have access to personal data will be instructed by the Operator on their confidentiality and will be warned by messages that will appear on the monitors during the activity. Users are forced to log out when they leave work.
9.9. Using computers
In order to maintain the security of the processing of personal data (especially against computer viruses) the operator will take measures which will consist of:
a) prohibiting the installation of any programs and saving them on the computer by employees;
b) prohibiting the use by users of software programs that come from external or dubious sources and that are not licensed;

9.11. Monitoring Systems via Electronic Communications and/or Video Surveillance
The company processes personal data (images) through video surveillance means and/or through an electronic communications monitoring system, collected when entering the company’s premises and workplaces. The legitimate interests pursued by the company are thoroughly justified and prevail over the interests or rights and freedoms of individuals entering the company’s premises. The purpose of processing these images is to monitor access to premises, ensure the security of company spaces, goods, and information, as well as the safety of individuals (employees, brokerage assistants, clients, and visitors) present in the company’s premises. The recorded images are not disclosed to third parties, except in cases of violations of applicable laws. In such situations, the respective data may be provided to judicial authorities and other institutions empowered by law to request such information, upon their explicit request.
The storage period for data obtained through the video surveillance system is a maximum of 30 (thirty) calendar days, except for situations expressly regulated by law or thoroughly justified cases. At the end of the storage period, the data are automatically erased in the order they were recorded. According to the provisions regarding the protection of personal data, you have the right to request from the company regarding your personal data, access to them, rectification or erasure, or restriction of processing, the right to object to processing, as well as the right to data portability.
Since the processing of data (images) through the video surveillance system is deemed necessary and considering the notice provided by the company through the relevant Information Notes displayed in monitored locations, positioned so that they can be seen by anyone intending to enter the company’s premises, it is considered that the individuals intending to enter the monitored video space implicitly express their consent to the processing of their personal data (images) by entering and remaining in the monitored spaces. Additionally, employees, brokerage assistants, and company collaborators have been clearly, expressly, and fully informed by the company about the existence of monitoring systems.
In case the person in question does not agree to the processing of their data (image) or refuses to provide the respective data, they have the option NOT to enter the company’s premises/spaces, or, if they have entered the monitored video space, to leave the monitored area.
These internal procedures are complemented by law with the other provisions of the legislation on the processing of personal data.
