If you have any questions or comments about our privacy policy – or would like to contact us in general, please feel free to get in touch. You can find contact information at the bottom of the document.

What is personal data?

Personal data is any kind of information that can be used to identify a person, and it can include many things such as name, address, phone number, email address, etc. It can also be a picture or an IP address. If multiple pieces of personal data together can identify a person, they are considered personal data.

We can collect personal data about you in the following ways:

In the menu below, you can see what information we collect, why we do it, the legal basis, and what rights you have in connection with our processing of your information.

Customers

As a business customer, it is typically information about the company that is registered; however, we may register a contact person with a name, phone number, and email address.

The purpose is to process the order for the purchased goods/services and to manage the relationship with the company. For the registration and storage of contact information, we use the legal basis of balancing interests, cf. Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

These details will be deleted or updated as soon as we become aware of changes. In addition, contact details may appear on invoices, etc., which will be kept for 5 accounting years in accordance with the Accounting Act.

Video surveillance

In areas where it is indicated, video surveillance is installed.

The purpose is to prevent and investigate theft and fraud, and we use the legal basis of balancing interests, cf. Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The surveillance will be deleted after 30 days but may be stored for a longer period in relevant cases and disclosed to the police or other relevant authorities.

Newsletter

When you consent to direct electronic marketing, we process the data you provide in connection with giving your consent, typically name and email address.

The purpose of our processing of your personal data is to manage newsletter subscriptions and send newsletters and advertisements on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Google with direct marketing based on given consent. We use the legal basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

If you no longer wish to receive direct marketing from us, you can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing on our website or at the bottom of the newsletter. After unsubscribing, you will no longer receive newsletters from us; however, your personal data collected in connection with giving consent will be deleted only after 2 years, as we must be able to document your consent during this period.

Recipients of information and direct marketing on Facebook and Google

Your information is not sold to third parties for marketing other companies and their products, but it is shared with partners (marketing agencies, Facebook, Instagram, and Google) to increase the relevance of the newsletter content and perform direct marketing on Google, Facebook, and Instagram.

When you visit our social media (e.g., Facebook and Instagram), we process the information you have made available through your social media settings, your reactions and comments on our posts, and the sharing thereof. The various providers collect personal data in the form of your behavior on our pages on their platform and can combine this information with your profile, enabling the provider to identify you. In this context, the individual providers have independent or joint data responsibility with us, and we refer to their policies for the use of the platforms:

For the distribution and management of newsletters, we have partnered with Mailchimp and INTUIT, to whom we disclose your information. Mailchimp and INTUIT are data processors and may not use the information for other purposes. Mailchimp and INTUIT are established in the USA, and the necessary safeguards for transferring the information to the USA are ensured through the conclusion of EU standard contracts with Mailchimp and INTUIT, cf. Article 46(1)(c) of the GDPR. https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/

Suppliers and partners

Our suppliers and partners are other companies that are generally not covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, we may register a contact person with their name, phone number, and email address. The purpose is to process our purchases/services and manage the relationship with the company.

For the registration and storage of contact information, we use the legal basis of balancing interests, according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This information will be deleted or updated as soon as we become aware of changes. Additionally, contact information may appear on invoices, etc., and this information will be kept for 5 accounting years in accordance with the Accounting Act.

Job Applicants

The purpose of receiving or collecting personal data about you in the recruitment process is to assess whether you are a qualified candidate for a vacant position with us, and we use the legal basis of balancing interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Your application, CV, and any other attached documents will be deleted 6 months after we have received them. If we wish to keep your information for more than 6 months, consent will be obtained, after which the legal basis for processing your information will shift to consent according to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

In the recruitment process, the information you provide and that is included in your application, CV, and any other attached documents will be registered. Typically, this will be general information such as name, address, contact details, education, work experience, and possibly other skills and competencies like languages, driving licenses, and IT skills. If you are called for an interview, we will record information and details for further proceedings.

We do not collect references from previous employers without your consent.

If deemed relevant for the job, you may be asked to provide a criminal record, but only at the end of the hiring process. If the criminal record is clean, a note will be made in our system, after which the criminal record will be deleted. The purpose is to prevent cases of theft and fraud, and we use the legal basis of balancing interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Your information is registered in our system and is available to relevant employees in the process, but will not be sold or disclosed to persons outside the company.

We naturally delete your information when we no longer have a purpose for retaining it, but you can always have your information deleted by contacting us at the contact details provided below.

How do we protect your personal data?

We are committed to protecting your personal data. Both because it is required by law, but also because our own internal ethical rules demand that we take good care of your personal data.

We use relevant and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that unauthorized access to the personal data we store is not created. The purpose is to ensure that the personal data is not used, destroyed, altered, disclosed, or otherwise misused.

In this section, you can read that:

We have internal rules on information security, which contain guidelines and procedures

This includes, among other things, that personal data is only available to the employee(s) who need it, and that we continuously inform our employees on the proper handling of personal data and check that the rules are followed by the employees.

IT-wise, we have implemented the following measures, among others:

Notification

As mentioned, we have taken a number of measures to ensure the processing of your personal data.

Should our IT systems and other security measures still be compromised, we will notify you without undue delay if the compromise involves a high risk to your rights and freedoms.

Data Minimization

We collect, process, and store only the personal data that is necessary to fulfill our established purposes. Additionally, the type of data that must be collected and stored for our business operations may be specified by law. The type and scope of personal data we process may also be determined by the need to fulfill a contract or another legal obligation.

Data is kept up-to-date

As our service depends on your data being correct and up-to-date, we ask you to inform us of relevant changes to your data. You can use the contact details below to notify us of your changes, and we will ensure that your personal data is updated. If we ourselves become aware that data is not correct, we will update the information and notify you of this.

What you can do yourself

The greatest risk of misuse of personal data is due to people’s own actions, and you can do a lot to take good care of your personal data (e.g., never sharing passwords with others).

Although we have taken the above measures to limit the risks associated with the processing of personal data, it cannot constitute a 100% guarantee that no unintended incidents will occur, and we therefore recommend that you also take steps to secure your personal data. You can do this, among other things, by closing your browser after use, logging out of all accounts after use, installing antivirus, anti-malware, and other software that can improve security on your computer.

In addition, we recommend that you continuously update software, the apps you use, your computer and mobile devices, and never share your password with others.

Disclosure of Information

We use partners for, among other things, storage, technical operation, IT solutions and improvements of the website, sending newsletters, sending surveys, analyzing website traffic, A/B testing of content on the website, and targeted marketing, including retargeting and segmentation. These companies are data processors under our instructions and process data for which we are responsible. The data processors may not use the information for any purpose other than fulfilling the agreement with us and are subject to confidentiality regarding this information. We have entered into written data processing agreements with all data processors who process personal data on our behalf.

In relevant cases, we disclose data to selected and trusted partners, including credit companies, freight companies, our internal companies and departments, and relevant authorities in accordance with the law, as well as lawyers and auditors. We disclose the necessary personal data to them so that we can meet our obligations to you and the authorities. This may include delivery of goods to your home address, lending, vehicle registration, insurance, etc.

Transfer to Third Countries

Some of our data processors are established in the USA. The necessary safeguards for transferring information to the USA are ensured through the conclusion of EU standard contracts according to Article 46(1)(c) of the GDPR.

You have many rights

In this section, you can read that you have a number of rights in connection with our processing of your personal data, including that you have:

The Right to Data Erasure

We make a discretionary assessment to determine when we no longer need your personal data. When we no longer need the personal data for the purpose for which it was collected, we delete it. We consider, among other things:

Some personal data must be stored for a minimum of 5 years due to legal requirements, including the Accounting Act. This includes personal data used for issuing invoices, so we can correctly account for taxes and VAT and document this to the authorities.

We also do this to protect our financial interests and legal position if anyone should claim that we have acted negligently. In such cases, we must be able to document what personal data we have received, what agreement has been made, and what we have done in relation to you as a customer, so we can best protect our interests. We ‘cleanse’ the documents of the personal data that is not necessary for this.

We delete your personal data on our own initiative when they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected, but you can contact us at any time and request deletion. Our processing of your deletion request will be retained for documentation for up to 6 months after the case is closed. We use the legal basis of balancing interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The Right to Be Informed and Correct Data

You have the right to know at any time what data we process about you, where it comes from, and what we use it for. You can also be informed of how long we store your personal data and who receives data about you, to the extent that we disclose data in Denmark and abroad.

If you request it, we can inform you about the data we process about you. Access may, however, be limited out of respect for other persons’ privacy, business secrets, and intellectual property rights.

If you believe that the personal data we process about you is inaccurate, you have the right to have it corrected. You must contact us and inform us of the inaccuracies and how they can be corrected.

The Right to Access and Receive Data

You can also be informed of the purposes of the processing, how long we store your personal data, whether we make automated decisions (including profiling), who we disclose the information to, and where we have obtained it from.

Our processing of your access request will be retained for documentation for up to 6 months after the case is closed. We use the legal basis of balancing interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The Right to Request Restriction of Processing
