The objective of Triniti is to Process Personal Data responsibly, based on the best practice, with the aim of always being prepared to demonstrate the conformity of Personal Data Processing to the established purposes.

3.2  All the processes, guidelines, operations and activities of Triniti that are related to Personal Data Processing are based on the following principles:

(9)   Data protection by design and by default. Triniti shall ensure that all the systems used shall meet the required technical criteria. The suitable data protection measures have been planned upon the renewal or design of every information or data system (e.g. the information systems and business processes are constructed using pseudonymisation and encryption).
