We only process your national identification number in situations where it is necessary for the purposes of the processing or for positive identification, e.g. if you are a sole trader.

Our use of Cookies

When you are using our website we may process personal data in the form of your IP address by using Cookies.

Our use of CCTV cameras

At some of the properties where we have operations, for example the Sunnex office in Karlstad, we have installed CCTV cameras with the aim of preventing criminal attacks such as break-ins and vandalism. At the properties affected there are information signs which state that CCTV is in operation. The cameras are set up so that they are only activated by movement in the immediate vicinity of the premises and only record activity that occurs outside normal working hours (i.e. evenings, nights and weekends/holidays). The recordings are kept for a few weeks after which they are automatically erased.

Who may get access to your personal data?

Your personal data may be shared with a small number of external parties who process your personal data on our behalf, i.e. personal data processors. Our data processors are for instance our IT and system providers. We have entered personal data processor agreements with all external parties processing personal data on our behalf in order to ensure that the data is processed in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.

Due to legal obligations, we may also transfer your personal data to recipients other than personal data processors, for instance certain public authorities. These recipients are independent data controllers when processing personal data.

Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations

We and our personal data processors, as a general rule, only process your personal data within the EU/EEA. In cases where personal data are processed outside the EU/EEA, there is either a decision from the European Commission that the relevant third country ensures an adequate level of protection, or appropriate safeguards, e.g. standard data protection clauses, binding corporate rules, or Privacy Shield, to ensure that your rights and integrity are protected.

How do we protect your personal data?

We, and in relevant cases the personal data processors that are working on our behalf, have taken several security measures to protect the personal data that is being processed. We have firewalls and anti-virus software to protect and prevent unauthorised access to our networks and systems. Our employees have strict instructions to process all personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Only a limited number of employees have access to the systems where personal data are being stored and passwords and usernames are required to access these systems.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We do not process your personal data for a longer period than is allowed by applicable law, regulation, case law or authority decision.

Personal data that we process in order to fulfil our agreement with you are normally processed for the period that it is necessary for us to be able to fulfil all our obligations towards you. To comply with legal obligation or if we have the right to do so on the basis of a legitimate interest, we may keep your personal data for a longer period in accordance with what is stated below.

Any information concerning payments where processing is required in accordance with the Swedish Accounting Act is being processed as stipulated by law for seven years. We may also process some information regarding your purchase in accordance with applicable legislation for purchase of goods and services and consumer protection.

Personal data that is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest with the purpose to perform direct marketing activities may be processed for a period of up to 24 months after our last business contact or until you notify us that you do not wish to receive our marketing communications anymore. Any personal data that is processed on the basis of a consent is being processed until you withdraw your consent.
