Purposes and legal bases for processing personal data

We collect, store and process personal data relating to customers and employees only for defined purposes. We ensure that there is at least one legal basis for processing the data. Our main purposes and the applicable legal bases are set out below.

Marketing and customer communications
We may carry out digital marketing, create personalised marketing content and advertise on social media to existing and potential customers. These activities require us to collect and process personal data. Marketing may also involve automated decisions and profiles created for social media campaigns, search engine marketing and website content. The main legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest.

However, you have the right to object to direct marketing at any time. Some direct marketing, such as newsletters, may be based on your consent.

Legal obligations
We may process personal data to meet legal obligations, including those arising from bookkeeping requirements, the Employment Contracts Act and tax laws.

Human resources management
We collect and use employee personal data mainly to manage human resources, pay salaries, fulfil rights and obligations arising from employment contracts, and meet employment-related legal requirements. The legal basis may be the performance of an employment contract, consent or compliance with legal obligations relating to employment.

Recruitment and job applications
During recruitment, we process personal data mainly to prepare and enter into employment contracts and on the basis of applicants’ consent.

Personal data we collect and its sources

We collect, store and use personal data mainly relating to our employees and job applicants.

Customers and potential customers

We use Google Analytics to collect data about the use of our website.

Employees

We receive employee personal data primarily from the employee and, with their consent, from other sources. We may also process data generated during the employment relationship. Typically, we collect and process:

  • Information required for tax withholding
  • Social security identification numbers
  • Salary information
  • Working time records
  • Contact details
  • Information relating to sick leave
  • Employment contracts

Job applicants

We receive applicants’ personal data primarily from the applicants themselves and, with their consent, from other sources, such as LinkedIn and references. Typically, we collect and process:

  • Names and basic contact details
  • Education, experience, skills and employment history
  • Applications and CVs
  • References, with consent
  • LinkedIn profiles, with consent

Processing and sharing personal data

People within our organisation may access personal data when they need it to perform their work.

We may outsource some personal data processing, including the cloud services used to store data. Most of the data we hold is stored electronically only. We use service providers particularly for marketing automation, customer relationship management, accounting and bookkeeping, website hosting and analytics, email marketing, and project management.

When we use a service provider, we ensure that we have a written agreement containing the minimum required data processing provisions. We also ensure that personal data remains confidential and is processed and transferred lawfully.

We may share personal data with third parties to fulfil contractual obligations, meet legal obligations or comply with requests from authorities. We may also share personal data in connection with a business sale or restructuring.

Transfers of personal data outside the EU

We primarily process personal data within the EU. However, because data is mainly stored and processed electronically through cloud services, some service providers, including Google, may be located outside the EU.

When personal data is transferred outside the EU, we ensure that one of the following conditions is met:

  • The recipient is in a country that the European Commission has determined provides adequate safeguards.
  • The recipient is a US-based company certified under Privacy Shield.
  • The transfer uses model clauses published by the European Commission.

Retention of personal data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for its purpose or as required by a contract or law. Retention periods vary according to the purpose, legal basis and circumstances of processing. They may also be determined by legislation, including accounting and tax laws and the Employment Contracts Act. Where consent is the sole basis for processing, the data may be deleted after consent is withdrawn.

We may also delete data at your request if we have no overriding legal basis for continuing to process it. We may update data periodically and remove outdated or inaccurate information.

Storage and security of personal data

We store personal data primarily in electronic form and protect it in accordance with general industry standards and practices. We treat personal data as confidential and use only storage and processing providers with a good reputation for data security.

Access is protected through individual logins, passwords and access rights. We do not sell or rent personal data for marketing purposes. Our premises are also kept safe and secure.

Requirements to provide personal data

In many situations, you are not required to provide us with personal data. This applies particularly to job applicants. For employment purposes, however, we need to process at least the minimum personal data required to fulfil employment contracts and meet legal obligations.
