1. Personal data we collect and how it is used

Personal data is data relating to an identified or identifiable person. We process name, address, e-mail address and telephone number submitted to us via the contact form on the website. Personal data is processed to take requested actions such as answering questions or sending materials. Personal data may also be used for direct marketing to recipients in their professional role, customer and market analysis, invitations to meetings and other professional contacts regarding our products and services.

When you visit the website and download documents, we automatically process information that may constitute personal data under certain conditions. This data includes time, date, file downloaded, file size, volume of data transferred, browser, language settings, operating system, referring domain and IP address. The purpose of processing this type of information is to provide an interesting, secure and user-friendly website.

Legal basis

The lawful basis for our processing of personal data is a legitimate interest to market our services and products, to communicate with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders and to provide an interesting, secure and user-friendly website. In some cases, the lawful basis is that the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps at the request of the provider of the personal data prior to the conclusion of a contract. In the case of so-called cookies, the legal basis is consent. For more details on this processing, see the section on cookies and similar technologies below.

Storage time

As a general rule, we do not keep personal data longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing. We will also delete personal data if you request that it be deleted or if we become aware that the personal data we are processing is out of date.

Transfer to third parties

Our policy is not to disclose personal data to independent third parties unless it is necessary to fulfil our obligations under contract or law. The recipients who may have access to your personal data are related companies such as other companies within our group and our suppliers in areas such as information security, IT, shipping and logistics, finance and marketing. We do not sell your personal data or otherwise allow any third party to use personal data provided to us for their own purposes. The exception is certain technical information which is shared with third parties under specific conditions as set out below.

Security

We have procedures and practices in place to ensure that your personal data is handled securely. The starting point is that only people within our organisation who need the personal data to perform their tasks should have access to it. Our security systems are designed to protect against intrusion, destruction and other changes that may pose privacy risks. Personal data submitted via forms on our website is protected by encryption during transmission to our servers.

Transfers to non-EU/ESS countries

Normally, we only process personal data within the EU/EEA. However, your personal data and technical information may, in certain situations, be transferred to recipients outside the EU/EEA that have an adequate level of protection for personal data. Exceptionally, personal data may also, after we have taken special security measures, be transferred to recipients outside the EU/EEA that do not have an adequate level of protection for personal data.

Rights concerning personal data

You have the right to access, rectify or erase your personal data upon request and without undue delay. You also have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted and to have your personal data transferred to someone else. Finally, you have the right to request that your personal data not be used for direct marketing purposes. If you have any questions or are not satisfied with the way we process your personal data, you are always welcome to contact us. There is also a possibility to contact the competent supervisory authority.

Changes

This Privacy Policy is continually updated and we recommend that you regularly check for any changes before using the website.

Links

Our website sometimes contains links to other websites. These websites are not normally under our control and are not covered by this privacy policy, therefore you are encouraged to review the privacy policy of the website before submitting your personal data.

2. How do you process my personal data?

The following sections explain the types of data we may process about you and for what purposes. We also explain how the data is collected and how long it is kept.

Collection of web statistics

When you visit our website, we collect logs containing web identifiers and timestamps with the help of a provider. We collect this information so that we can see how many users visit our site.

4. Who do you share my data with?

We will not share, sell, transfer or otherwise disclose your information beyond what is set out in this policy, unless we are required to do so in order to comply with a legal obligation or unless we have received your consent to such disclosure. This does not preclude us from using data processors who process data on our behalf in accordance with written data processor agreements and our instructions. Processors who are given access to your data (for example, when we use a third party to store data on a server), are not given any right to use your data for purposes other than those set out in this policy.

5. Where do we process your data?

We always aim to process your data within the EU/EEA. However, in certain situations your data may be transferred to and processed in a country outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, we will take all reasonable legal, technical and organisational measures to ensure that your data is processed securely and with an adequate level of protection comparable to and at the same level as the protection offered within the EU/EEA.

Right to be deleted

Right to data portability

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data that we carry out on the basis of a balancing of interests. You must then specify which processing you object to. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you always have the right to object to the processing at any time.

Right to restriction

You have the right to request a temporary restriction on the processing of your personal data. This means that we temporarily move the personal data to another processing system or make the data inaccessible to a user.
