master service agreements and related documents.
These documents are stored in the FREEBIKE office premises. The access to the document is
restricted using the common measures (controlled physical access to the building and to the office,
locked storage containers, cupboards, etc.).
ii. Personal data is processed and stored via computer systems (see section IV)
Database and application servers are located in single purpose data centres with strictly limited
physical access (locked racks, camera systems, access authorized only for pre-defined persons with
personal ID card checks). The data centres are located in ČR and in the countries of EU.
Privileged system access is governed by the access management policy and is enabled only to the
named administrators. The local and domain administrators are reviewed every year.
All servers processing personal data is protected by malware protection, the systems and data is
regularly backed-up, regularly patched and scanned against the known vulnerabilities.
The databases of electronic systems used for personal data processing are encrypted, i.e. they are
readable only for authorized users.
If the access from internet is granted, the communication channel is encrypted so that the data
cannot be tapped and modified during the transfer.
All web systems accessible from internet are checked by independent penetration testing and they
are regularly (yearly) tested for vulnerabilities.
iii. It is not possible to make unauthorized copies of personal data to mobile media like USB discs or CDs.
Such media are enabled only for selected users and the content of the data written to such media is
monitored and regularly checked. In case of authorized storage of data, the mobile media is secured by
encryption. Storing any documents or data to web storage is restricted, also access to general web mail
systems is restricted.
2. Access to personal data
i. Access to personal data in computer systems is possible only with the authorized user ID and password.
ii. All personal data is considered confidential and the access to them is governed by access management
policy, i.e. the access is granted in accordance with the need-to- know principle to the roles and users
that need such access in order to perform their work tasks.
iii. Users are regularly trained in the areas of information security and personal data protection.
3. Personal data Disposal
Once FREEBIKE stops collecting and processing personal data, or if the retention period is over for the specific
data, FREEBIKE will dispose of the data by:
i. Shredding the paper documents;
ii. Deletion or anonymization of personal data in the databases;
iii. FREEBIKE will exclude the relevant data subjects from the further processing.5
4. Security Measures
i. Risk Assessment
Prior to the processing of any personal data a risk assessment has to be conducted to acquire insight
in potential threats and security incidents, the risks and consequences thereof and the chance these
risks and consequences materializes. A privacy impact assessment (PIA) or, if applicable, a data
protection impact assessment (DPIA), is performed, which determines the risks related to the
processing of personal data and the measures to address these risks.
Risks have to be related to the reliability requirements. In general: the higher the risks, the higher
the required level of availability, integrity and confidentiality.
Relevant are the consequences for individuals in case of loss or unauthorized processing of their
personal data. Any damages incurred are based on the nature of the personal data, the nature of the
processing, the amount of processed personal data and the purposes for processing. Also relevant
for the risk level are the state of the art and developments in society.
5. Policies, awareness and training
i. FREEBIKE has adopted this Privacy Policy and an Information Security Policy. In these policies all
responsibilities, managerial as well as executive, are clearly defined and assigned.
ii. This FREEBIKE Privacy Policy exists for the protection and nondisclosure of personal data. It is
implemented and communicated to all persons involved in the processing of personal data.
iii. Adequate non-disclosure agreements are in place with relevant parties.
iv. All employees, hired personnel and external users have an adequate security awareness, are properly
trained and receive on a regular basis training courses to understand the privacy policy, the information
security policy and security procedures of the company;
6. Security measures to be implemented for all categories of data
i. Compliance with relevant generally accepted security standards.
ii. IT services and IT equipment are physically protected against access by unauthorized persons, damages
and disturbances. The provided level of protection is in line with predetermined risks.
iii. Access procedures only grant authorized users the access to IT systems and IT services and only in so
far required for the performance of their duties. Usage rights are cancelled when access is no longer
required. Access rights of persons with broad usage rights such as system operators are properly defined.
iv. Logging of all relevant events regarding personal data. Such events include attempts to acquire
unauthorized access to personal data and any disturbances which could lead to changes in or loss of
personal data.
v. Log files are periodically checked for any indications of unauthorized access or use. All actions required
to stop such access or use are implemented.
vi. All applications contain security measures and verify that input, the internal processing and output meet
requirements.
vii. All software, including browsers, virus scanners and operating systems, is kept up-to-date and solutions
of software suppliers addressing security holes are rolled out timely.
viii. Regarding encryption, all usual precautionary measures have been implemented such as key
management and usage of encryption keys in line with the actual state of the art techniques.
ix. Encryption is used if personal data is sent via the internet.
x. Only in exceptional cases (based on a risk analysis) no encryption has to be applied, e.g. in case the
personal data exposed just concern the email-addresses of the sender and recipient of email.
xi. All data is (irreversible) removed from equipment with storage capabilities prior to removal or reuse of
such equipment.
7. Information obligation6
Data subjects are informed about processing of their personal data through this Privacy policy and, where
applicable, in the respective agreements. Data subjects and supervisory authorities are informed about
personal data security breaches without undue delay.
8. Evaluation, assessment of security measures and follow-up
i. FREEBIKE has to determine periodically that all security measures are implemented, complied with
and adequate. In particular, this could mean the following:
Verification that security measures are complied with by the personnel.
Verification that security measures are implemented in and complied with in the IT systems.
Verification that outside working hours no sensitive personal data is available at the workplaces, in
meeting rooms, near printers or copiers or in unclosed wastepaper bins.
Evaluation that the security levels are in line with the risks related to the processing of personal
data and whether the security measures are still adequate or require adjustment in view of e.g. the
state of the art and/or latest insights in information security. For software this could mean an
inspection of the software (a code review). If the application is maintained by a third party the
activities of such party are reviewed to determine for example how fast vulnerabilities or security
leaks are solved.
Verification of new or changed IT systems that all specified security measures are in place and
whether, e.g. via penetration tests, any unforeseen risks or week security spots exits.
Verification whether existing security measures are still adequate in case of material changes in the
company or the IT systems.
Follow-up and take measures to address any issues found in respect of the above.
Periodic evaluation of security risks and determining whether measures have to be taken to
adequately address these risks.
Lessons learned, e.g. from data security incidents, are used to structurally improve security.
9. Data processing by third parties
i. A risk analysis is conducted in respect of the processing by a third party.
ii. A DPA (data processing agreement) is concluded containing adequate arrangements in respect of the
security measures to be taken, provided services, applicable reliability requirements, disclosure
obligations regarding security and data security incidents, the use of subcontractors, the processing of
personal data in countries lacking an adequate level of protection, etc.
iii. It is periodically verified that the DPA is complied with.
