Professionals and other people whose professional data is public by law or by their choice (for example members of professional registers), whom Keix has collected to invite them to take part in studies and surveys.

Name, qualification or specialisation, register or body, area and professional contact details, taken from public sources such as official registers and public lists. The list of sources is available on request.

We do not process health data or any other special category of data.

Only to ask whether you wish to take part in studies and surveys, including studies run for our customers, and, if you accept, to invite you.

We do not use this data for advertising or sales, and we do not pass it on to anyone.

Keix's legitimate interest in recruiting participants for studies (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), limited to keeping the data and asking for consent once.

Inviting you to studies requires your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

To ask for your consent we contact you only by phone, after checking the Italian public opt-out register (Registro pubblico delle opposizioni), or by post.

We email you only if you have given your consent.

If you do not reply or do not accept, we delete your data within 24 months of collection.

If you accept, we keep it while you take part and delete it after 24 months without participation, or at once if you withdraw your consent.

If you object, we delete it at once and keep only a code derived from your contact details with a secret key, so that we do not contact you again.

Keix staff who organise the studies, and the providers that host the platform on our behalf as processors (list: keix.com/legal/sub-processors).

Customers who commission a study do not receive your contact details: they receive answers or results as we will tell you when we invite you.

Some providers may be outside the European Union: such transfers are protected by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or by the Data Privacy Framework.

You can ask for access, rectification, erasure and restriction, object to the processing (Art. 21) and withdraw your consent at any time by writing to [email protected].

You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (www.garanteprivacy.it).
