8. Nature of joint data processing by ECCO and OCEAiN:
The essence of the ECCO IT Hub arrangement according to Article 26 GDPR:
DESCRIPTION OF JOINT DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS:
The ECCO Database constitutes the core for all projects on the side of ECCO Association as well the side of OCEAiN GmbH, who is in charge of organising the annual ECCO Congress, the e-Learning platform and publishing the ECCO News magazine.
As the ECCO Congress constitutes the annual meeting of the ECCO Members and other stakeholders in the field of inflammatory bowel diseases, the ECCO Database has a significant intersection set of data subjects as the same data subjects can be ECCO Members and Congress Delegates.
The data subjects in the ECCO Database are health care professionals, pharma industry representatives, patient representatives and students in the field of inflammatory bowel diseases with an interest in both ECCO Association activities and ECCO Congress and e-Learning activities. In addition, the ECCO Database captures press contacts, as well as employees and contact persons of tour operator agencies booking group registrations and of supplier companies, which are contracted to implement projects of ECCO and OCEAiN.
MEANS OF JOINT DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS:
With the increasingly enhanced digitalisation of the joint data processing operations over the past years, the ECCO Website with a Login-Area called the ECCO Portal constitutes the main entrance door to all activities of ECCO and OCEAiN.
The ECCO Portal Account is the “front” side entrance door to and, after personal Login-In, the front side display of the respective personal data-set captured in the ECCO Database.
As soon as an ECCO Portal Account holder applies for ECCO Membership or engages in another activity, joint processing takes place in the ECCO Database: the use of synergy effects in data harmonization also aims to facilitate access of data subjects to activities within the larger framework of ECCO IT Hub (e.g. distribution of our newsletters, promotion of our Congress and educational/scientific activities, access facilitation via the publisher/distributor of our publications).
Depending on the status of the data subject (e.g.: Membership status, Congress Registration statutes, Scientific Reviewer Status), the data subject can access various online tools (e.g.: online application process per open call, registration process for workshops or ECCO Congress, industry webshop, General Assembly voting) and various levels of online content (e.g.: applications received for internal or scientific review, e-Learning material, meeting documents).
Most of the functionalities are directly provided by the ECCO Database suppliers and do not need data transfers to other suppliers.
The ECCO Website and the ECCO Database are hosted on a rented ECCO Server space in Austria and in Germany.
Additional Platforms and technology needed are solved with a single-sign on technology with the ECCO Database, which are in particular
- the ePayment tool used to process online credit card payments for ECCO Membership and ECCO Congress Registrations.
- the e-Learning platform which is accessible to all ECCO Members and also to health care professionals as ECCO Portal Account holders without active ECCO Membership up to the age of 35. The single-sign on mechanism is based on an age check, which takes place within the ECCO Database before the access interface is enabled to the e-Learning Platform.
- the ECCO App: upon installation of the ECCO App (offering a dedicated section for ECCO Association and another dedicated section for the annual Congress) on the data subject’s mobile device, first name, last name and email address is shared with the App provider company to allow the single-sign-on mechanism. In case of additional consent of the data subject chosen in the settings of the App, the personal status (of Membership or Congress Delegates) can be shared in order to be visible for a chat-function tool and to allow for voting in the General Assembly.
In addition, two further joint data processing platforms are used to facilitate project management and communication:
- the ECCO Office inhouse server
- the eNewsletter Mailing Platform
PURPOSE OF JOINT DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS: please refer to all purposes listed in point 1 above.
LEGAL BASIS: The data transfer between the joint controllers is based on legitimate interests (Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR). The legitimate interest is the processing of personal data within the organisational entities for internal management purposes of the data subjects.
CATEGORIES OF DATA PROCESSED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT: please refer to point 3 above.
DATA STORAGE LIMITATION: please refer to point 6 above.
ALLOCATION OF DATA PROTECTION TASKS/DUTIES (under Art. 26 GDPR)
