If you or your company have questions, complaints, or claims
If your company has questions, complaints, or claims we at 55 Degrees AB (”55 Degrees”, “we”,”our” and ”us”) may process your personal data. In this privacy policy, you will find information about how we process your personal data and your rights regarding this data processing.
Note that we are always happy to answer any questions you have and always try to avoid any claims or complaints. In case any question, complaint, or claim arises, we do, however, need to process the personal data we gather from you and your company. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible regarding our processing of your personal data – do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you have!

Our legal basis for the processing:
Legitimate interest
The personal data is processed based on our legitimate interest to handle a question, complaint, and/or claim.
By carrying out a balancing of interests assessment concerning our processing of your personal data, we have concluded that our legitimate interest in the processing outweighs your interests or rights, which require the protection of your personal data. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you want more information regarding this.
Storage period: We will store your personal data from when the matter was initiated and through the duration of your support matter or for the duration of the potential dispute. Thereafter we store your personal data as long as we have a purpose for processing it. We aim to only keep personal data for up to one year after the matter is handled for service and product improvement. However, we aim to delete sensitive attachments, such as HAR files, within three months of the closure of the support request.
After the customer relationship with your company ends, we store agreements and similar documentation where your personal data may be included. We will continue to store it for as long as a claim can be made in case a dispute arises, i.e., in accordance with applicable statutory limitation provisions. In Sweden, the storage period is ten years.
Note that the ongoing matter may mean that we cannot delete all your personal data after your request.
Here you can find all our privacy policies which describe how we process personal data in other situations, e.g. if you visit our website or otherwise are in contact with us.

Who can gain access to your personal data and why?
We do not sell your personal data or share it with other parties unless necessary. This means that your personal data will be handled by our employees but only by those needing such access to conduct their work.
-
We will store your personal data, anonymized when possible, within our IT systems to ensure good and secure IT operations. This means that we share your personal data with our IT suppliers.
-
Which other recipients we share your personal data with depends on what the question, complaint, or claim is about. If it concerns our customer relations or financial matters, you can read more about recipients here.
The above parties will process these on our behalf and follow our instructions. We need to work with third parties to conduct our business. We are responsible for any sharing of your personal data with such suppliers and to ensure that your personal data is safe when shared with third parties. For more detailed information on our suppliers and the information we store with them, please visit our supplier page located at https://support.55degrees.se/space/SECURE/2014216193.
Where is your personal data processed?
We use EU/EEA vendors that store data in the EU/EEA when possible. However, when we must use suppliers outside the EU/EEA, your personal data will be processed outside the EU/EEA. We transfer your data outside of the EU/EEA to make use of our IT suppliers, which will process your personal data stated in the table above. These suppliers store some or all information in the USA.
Whether we transfer your personal data in other cases depends on what the question, complaint, or claim is about. If it concerns our customer relations or a financial matter, you can read more about recipients here.
In the above situations, our suppliers and we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data outside of the EU/EEA. The use of Standard Contractual Clauses is an effort to provide a safe transfer of your personal data. You find a more detailed description of the transfer of personal data at https://support.55degrees.se/space/SECURE/2014216193.
If you want to know more about whom we share your personal data with and how your personal data is transferred, please get in touch with us. Our contact information can be found at the beginning of this privacy policy.
