Privacy

SOCRATES^2.0 respects your privacy following Member State laws based on the GDPR. Within this privacy statement we inform you about how, for what purposes and by whom your data is processed, about the means you have available to execute your rights and other information relevant for processing personal data.

 

Processing of data

Within SOCRATES^2.0 new services for road users are realised for smart routing, actual speed and lane advice, (temporary) road closures, incidents and traffic management measures. These new services are realized in new forms of cooperation by the partners in the SOCRATES^2.0. These services are based on sharing data between the partners therefor it is important to describe how we handle this data.

 

The dataproviders in SOCRATES^2.0 prevent your data from flowing freely to the other partners of SOCRATES^2.0. They are the guardians of your data and are usually the same company that offer the service you are using. They ensure all data is anonymized and aggregated before sharing. This way data cannot be linked to individual persons by other SOCRATES^2.0 project partners.

 

Data sharing with third parties

To evaluate the project results, SOCRATES has contracted an external (Dutch) consortium built up of Arup, Twijnstra & Gudde and Goudappel Coffeng. The evaluator has access to the same anonymized and aggregated data as the SOCRATEs consortium partners. Additionally the evaluator receives anonymized (unaggregated) responses on surveys. When invited to become a test users you will be asked for consent on sharing this data with the evaluator.

Next to above usage of data by third parties, it may happen that the project is obliged by law or by a justified interest to share data with the police, justice department or anti-fraud organizations.

 

Data protection

SOCRATES^2.0 takes all necessary technical and organizational precautions to protect data from loss or any form of illegal processing. The precautions are aimed at preventing unnecessary collection and/or further processing of personal data.

 

Retention period

To be able to apply the necessary knowledge within the multi-year project, SOCRATES^2.0 keeps data available throughout the duration of the project (2017-2020) and for an extended period of 2 years after the project ends. This data is intended for replicability and verifiability of the evaluation results.

After 2 years, personal data within SOCRATES^2.0 will be removed with the exception of data that is obliged to retain for a longer period as required by the Grant Agreement and EU law. The only data permanently available will be aggregated and in generalized reports as part of the SOCRATES^2.0 deliverables in which no link to (sensitive) personal data will be available.
