The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. The key articles of the GDPR, as well as information on its business impact, can be found throughout this site.
GDPR Terms & Conditions
The conditions for consent have been strengthened, and companies -including Hines- will no longer be able to use long illegible terms and conditions full of legalese, as the request for consent must be given in an intelligible and easily accessible form, with the purpose for data processing attached to that consent. Consent must be clear and distinguishable from other matters and provided in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. It must be easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it.
By providing us with your information you will have the right to access and rectify your personal details. If you did wish to access your data, you shall have the right to view or receive a copy of the information in a commonly used format such as a pdf document or an e-mail. Any information which is processed by automated means and is purely required for the performance of a contract, may be transmitted to another data controller if you request it. You may also have the right to ask for the processing of your personal data to be restricted or even erased. Whether or not you exercise the right to erasure, Hines will erase your personal data in certain situations and particularly when the data is no longer required.
Your data may be transferred and processed outside of the European Economic Area and in any other country in which the organization may have offices or subsidiary companies or agents or contractors at any time. This specifically applies to our head office in the United States.
You should therefore be aware that the European Commission have made an adequacy decision which means it is deemed to be safe to send your data here.
