Transparency. Processing of personal data is transparent for the Client;

Purposefulness. Personal data is collected precisely and clearly for certain lawful purposes and it is not subsequently processed in any manner contradictory to the purposes;

Personal data is relevant, important and limited to what is required considering the purpose of processing of such personal data. When processing personal data, Uus Maa Kinnisvarabüroo follows the principle of minimum processing and if personal data is not required or is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, the personal data shall be deleted;

Correctness. Personal data is correct and updated if so required, and all the reasonable measures applied to ensure that any personal data incorrect from the perspective of personal data processing are immediately deleted or corrected;

It means that if Uus Maa Kinnisvarabüroo wishes to store personal data longer than required for the purpose of collection, Uus Maa Kinnisvarabüroo shall anonymize the data in such a way that the Client can no longer be identified;

Reliability and confidentiality. Processing of personal data is carried out in a way that ensures proper security of the personal data, including protection from unauthorised or illegal processing and accidental loss, destruction or damage, using reasonable technical or organisational measures;

Suitable data protection measures are planned when updating or designing any information and data system (e.g. information systems and business processes are created based on the prerequisites of pseudonymisation and encryption).
