Under What Circumstances Will We Transfer Your Personal Information Outside The EU/EEA?

In some cases, we will be transferring personal information to countries outside the EU/EEA - e.g. when using IT service providers in such countries.

You can find an updated list of countries to which we may transfer data here: list of third countries.

Such transfers will only happen for the specific purposes mentioned above under Section 2, and We will always ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfer as set out below:

The country/countries or company/companies has/have been deemed by the Commission of the European Union to have an adequate level of protection of personal data

The country/countries has/have not been deemed by the Commission of the European Union to have an adequate level of protection of personal data. We will in such cases provide appropriate safeguards for the transfer through the use of "Model Contracts for the Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries", as published by the Commission of the European Union, or any other contractual agreement approved by the competent authorities.

For How Long Will We Retain Your Personal Information?

We will retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or later processed. As a general rule, we will store data on customer contracts and purchases for five (5) years from the end of the year, where the contract was entered into or the purchase completed. If necessary in order to fulfil the purposes mentioned above, we will store your information for an extended period. We may also retain your personal information for a longer period if we are legally required to do so or if retention is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

We have specific retention policies for the following type of personal information:

What If The Provision Of Your Personal Information Is Mandatory?

In some cases, the provision of at least some of your personal information is a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Therefore, if you refuse to share such personal data, we may not be able to provide the services you request.

What Are Our Security Measures?

We will implement security measures to protect your personal data against manipulation, loss, destruction, and against unauthorized access. We continuously revise our security procedure based on the newest, technological developments.

In practice, it is not possible to provide 100 % security, and therefore we cannot guarantee that the information is protected completely against anyone who will succeed in circumventing the security measures and gain access to the data. Thus, you provide your data information at your own responsibility.

What Are Your Rights?

In general, you have the following rights:

You have the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of your personal data.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data and have the processing of your personal data restricted.

If processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.

You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability).

There may be conditions or limitations on these rights. It is therefore not certain for example you have the right of data portability in the specific case - this depends on the specific circumstances of the processing activity. Also, if you request to have your personal data deleted for example, we may not be able to provide the services you request.
