A detailed description of how we process your personal data

 

We collect your personal data directly from you. We may also collect your personal data from your company, if they state you as their representative.

​

To enter into an agreement with your company and administer our relationship

 

What processing do we perform?

• Enter into an agreement with your company, including any negotiation between the companies

• Administrate our relationship with your company (e.g. communicate with our supplier)

​

Information you or your company provide to us, e.g. name, information about which organisation you represent, position in your company, telephone number, and e-mail address

​

Our legal basis for the processing

Legitimate interest

​

Your personal data will be processed based on our legitimate interest to negotiate and enter into an agreement with your company and to administrate the agreement.

 

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.

​

If you want more information in relation to our balancing of interests assessments, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our contact details can be found at the beginning of this privacy policy.

​

Storage period

Your personal data will be deleted if we conclude that we will not enter into an agreement with your company.

 

If your company becomes our supplier, we will store your personal data for this purpose as long as the company you represent is our supplier and until we have evaluated our previous partnership and potential future partnership and up to six months afterward. If we receive information that you no longer represent the company, we will delete your personal data unless your data is included in email communication, agreements, and similar documentation, which we cannot delete – in case of a dispute.

To comply with accounting legislation

 

What processing do we perform?

Store information in accounting material when relevant

​

Our legal basis for the processing

The processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject, i.e., accounting legislation.

​

You need to provide us with this information. Otherwise, we will not be able to administrate our relationship with your company.

​

Storage period

We will store any document constituting accounting material and the personal data included therein according to the storage period stated in the accounting legislation.

​

In Sweden, this means that we will store your personal data for seven to eight years, i.e., until and including the seventh year after the end of the calendar year for the fiscal year to which the personal data relates.

​

 

Who can gain access to your personal data and why?

 

We do not sell your personal data or share it with other parties unless it is necessary. This means that your personal data will be handled by our employees but only by the personnel needing such access to conduct their work.

 

• We will store your personal data, anonymised 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.

​

• We will store your personal data within our accounting systems to ensure good and secure financial operations relating to our suppliers. This means that we share your personal data with our accounting suppliers.

​

The above parties will process these on our behalf and following our instructions. We need to work with third parties to conduct our business. We are responsible for any sharing of your personal data to 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 of the EU/EEA, your personal data will, in most cases, be processed outside the EU/EEA. These are the cases in which we transfer your data outside of the EU/EEA:

​

• When you book a meeting with us, we gather your personal data as a meeting attendee, e.g., your e-mail address. This information about you is entered by you or the company you represent into Calendly, a service that stores data in the USA.

​

• When you attend a virtual meeting with us, we store your personal data as a meeting attendee, e.g., your name and e-mail address. This information is stored in Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which store data in the USA.

​

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 contact us. Our contact information can be found at the beginning of this privacy policy.
