5. Who ONS shares your data with

ONS has various service providers with whom it is necessary to share certain personal data in order for them to be able to deliver their services to us. These will typically be suppliers we use in (i) our daily operation of customer service and administration, (ii) handling of our technical infrastructure that ONS needs to deliver its services, (iii) assistance to protect and secure our systems and services.

All service providers who process personal data on behalf of ONS must enter into a data processing agreement that limits the processing of the personal data, as well as specifying specifically what, how, why and for how long the personal data can be processed.

Especially regarding transfer of data outside the EU/EEA

ONS uses the suppliers that we believe deliver the best quality for us and our users. This may mean that in some cases we have to share data with partners who are located outside the EU/EEA. Before such a transfer of personal data takes place, ONS will ensure that the place where the recipient is located either (i) has such satisfactory rules for the protection of personal data that it is equated with the GDPR, or (ii) bases our transfer on the EU’s standard contract clauses and makes necessary additional measures and safeguards to ensure that the protection of your personal data is in line with the privacy regulations.

6. ONS Innovation Award Portal
ONS promotes new and groundbreaking technologies and presents two awards in this category; the ONS Innovation Award and the ONS SME Innovation Award.
In order to facilitate reception and evaluation of the applications to the two awards, ONS has elaborated an online Innovation Portal.

The Innovation Award jury and the ONS Administration need to use information to evaluate the applications to the Innovation Awards.  If you wish to apply for the awards you must create a user and sign into the portal.
