MITO complied with the provisions of the data protection legislation and has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of the processed personal data and the rights of the data subjects. Thus, NGO has implemented measures such as:
- the conclusion of contracts with collaborators which have undertook the obligation of confidentiality in relation to the personal data processed, as well as the general obligation to comply with the applicable legislation in the field of personal data protection;
- training the employees and collaborators on the importance of personal data protection, as well as limiting their access to data according to their attributions and competences;
- establishing internal procedures having the purpose of protecting personal data;
- indicating specially contact data which can be used for questions/claims regarding personal data (ie. the one indicated in art. 1 of the present policy);

Also, MITO shall inform the competent data protection authority in the event of an breach concerning data security which generate risks for the data subject, without undue delay and, if possible, within 72 hours from the moment it became aware of it, unless it is unlikely to create a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals. If the notification to the authority shall not be made within the 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by a justified explanation for the delay.
In the event of an incident concerning the security of personal data, MITO shall also inform the data subject without undue delay, if the breach of the security of personal data is likely to generate a high risk for his / her rights and freedoms. However, informing the aforementioned data subject is not necessary if any of the following conditions is met:
- MITO has implemented adequate technical and organizational protection measures, and these measures have been applied in the case of the personal data affected by the security breach;
- MITO has taken further measures to ensure that the high risk for the rights and freedoms of the data subjects is no longer likely to occur;

Any statistics regarding the traffic of the users on the Platform, which MITO shall provide to third party advertising networks or to other sites, shall have a data set form and shall not include any identifiable information about any individual user.
Unfortunately, no data transmission through the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, despite MITO’s efforts to protect users’ personal data, it cannot guarantee or ensure the security of information transmitted by them through the Platform. Users are therefore warned that any information sent through the online environment shall be done at their own risk.
To mitigate this risk, one of the measures took by NGO is to offer all interested users the possibility to send requests / requests / addresses / messages in material form, to the MITO headquarters, and not necessarily through the Platform.
