5. Who can we share your personal information with?
Personal Data Assistants (Data Processors)
In cases where it is necessary for us to be able to offer our services, we share your personal data with companies that are so-called "personal data assistants" for us. A personal data assistant is a company that processes information on our behalf and according to our instructions.
We use personal data assistants who help us with:
- Payment solutions (card-redeeming companies, banks and other payment service providers).
- Marketing (social media or media agencies).
- IT services (companies that handle the necessary operations, security, storage, messaging, technical support, maintenance of our IT solutions and other IT services and solutions).
When your personal data is shared with the personal data assistants, it only happens for purposes that are consistent with the purposes for which we have collected the information (e.g to fulfil our requirements and commitments under the purchase and/or user agreements. We check all personal data assistants to ensure that they can provide adequate security and security guarantees for the privacy of personal data. We have entered into agreements with all personal data assistants through which they guarantee the security of the personal data processed and undertake to comply with our security requirements as well as the restrictions and requirements regarding the international transfer of personal data. The transfers of personal data to personal data assistants in the US are protected under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. For more information on the legal grounding please refer to Chapter 5, Article 44 - 50 of the EU GDPR.
Personal Data Assistants (Data Processors)
Data Controllers
Companies that are independently responsible (data controllers) for personal data. We also share your personal information with some companies that are independently responsible for personal data. The fact that the company is independently responsible for personal data means that it is not us who controls how the information provided to the company should be processed.
Independent Personal Data Managers with whom we share your personal information are:
- State authorities (police, tax authorities or other authorities) if we are obliged to do soby law or on suspicion of a crime.
- Companies that offer payment solutions (card-redeeming companies, banks and other payment service providers)
- Companies we licence our products to (Our customers)
- Companies that license our products to their clients (Third-party customers)
For more information on the legal protections and scope when transferring personal data to foreign countries please refer to Chapter 5, Article 44 - 50 of the EU GDPR.
6. Where do we process your personal information?
We always strive for your personal data to be processed within the EU / EES and all our own IT systems are located within the EU / EES. However, with systemic support and maintenance, we may have to transfer the information to a country outside the EU / EEA, e.g. if we share your personal information with one personal data assistant who, either himself or through a subcontractor, is established or stores information in a country outside the EU / EEA. In these cases, the assistant may only access the information provided is relevant for the purpose (eg log files).
No matter in which country your personal information is processed, we take all reasonable legal, technical and organizational measures to ensure that the level of protection is the same as in the EU / EEA. In those cases where personal data is processed outside the EU / EEA, the level of protection is guaranteed either by a decision from EU Commission that the country in question ensures an adequate level of protection or through the use of so-called appropriate protective measures. Examples of suitable safeguards are approved code of conduct in the recipient country, standard contract clauses, binding corporate intranet rules or Privacy Shield. If you want to get one a copy of the safeguards that have been taken or information about where they have been made available you are welcome to contact us.
7. How long do we store your personal data?
We will never store your personal data for longer than is necessary for each purpose. See more about the specific storage periods for each purpose.
8. What rights do you have when registered to our products of services?
Right to access (so-called register extract) - Chapter 3-Article 15 EU GDPR
We are always open and transparent about how we process your personal data and if you want to gain a deeper insight into what personal data we process about you, you can request access to the data (the information is provided in the form of a register extract with a statement of purpose, categories of personal data, categories of recipients, storage periods, information about where the information was collected and the existence of automated decision-making).
Please note that if we receive a request for access, we may ask for additional information to ensure the efficient handling of your request and that the information is provided to the right person.
Right to rectification - Chapter 3-Article 16 EU GDPR
You can request that your personal data be corrected if the information is incorrect. Within the scope of the stated purpose, you also have the right to supplement any incomplete personal data. This means, for example, that you have the right to have contact information updated, but not to supplement a test answer afterwards.
Right to be forgotten - Chapter 3-Article 17 EU GDPR
You can request the deletion of personal data we process about you if: The information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected or processed. You object to a balance of interest we have made based on legitimate interest and your reason for objection weighs more heavily than our legitimate interest. You object to treatment for direct marketing purposes. Personal data is processed in an illegal manner. The personal data must be deleted in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject. Please note that we may have the right to deny your request if there are legal obligations that prevent us from immediately deleting certain personal information. These obligations include accounting and tax legislation.
It may also be that the processing is necessary for us to be able to establish, enforce or defend legal claims. Should we be prevented from responding to a request for deletion, we will instead block the personal data from being used for purposes other than the purpose that prevents the requested deletion.
Right to restrict processing - Chapter 3-Article 18 EU GDPR
You have the right to request that our processing of your personal data be restricted. If you dispute that the personal data we process is accurate, you may request that the processing be limited during the time we need to check whether the personal data is accurate. If we no longer need the personal data for the stated purposes, but you do, however, need them to be able to establish, enforce or defend legal claims, you can request that we not delete your information.
If you have objected to a balancing of legitimate interests that we have made as a legal basis for a cause, you may request limited processing during the time we need to check whether our legitimate interests outweigh your interests in having the information deleted. If the processing has been restricted under any of the situations above, we may only, in addition to the actual storage, process the information to determine, make or defend legal claims, to protect someone else's rights or if you have given your consent.
Right to object - Chapter 3-Article 21 EU GDPR
You always have the right to avoid direct marketing and to object to any processing of personal data based on a balance of interests.
Legitimate interest - Chapter 3-Article 14 EU GDPR
In cases where we use a balance of interests as a legal basis for a purpose, you have the opportunity to object to the treatment. In order to be able to continue processing your personal data following such an objection, we need to be able to show a compelling justification for the treatment in question that outweighs your interests, rights or freedoms. Otherwise, we may only process the information in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Direct Marketing (including analyses performed for direct marketing purposes) - Chapter 3-Article 22 EU GDPR
You have the opportunity to object to your personal data being processed for direct marketing. Direct marketing refers to all types of outreach marketing measures (eg via mail, e-mail and SMS). If you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing your personal data for that purpose as well as discontinue all types of direct marketing measures.
Right to data portability - Chapter 3-Article 20 EU GDPR
If our right to process your personal data is based either on your consent or the performance of an agreement with you, you have the right to request that the data relating to you and which you have provided to us be transferred to you or another personal data officer in a general use format such as .xls (so-called data portability). A prerequisite for data portability is that the transfer is technically possible and can be automated.
You send a request to exercise your rights by contacting us via dpo@knowly.com with the subject GDPR.
