Who do we share your personal data with

We may share your personal data with other Svalinn companies, or authorised third party analytics, for the sole purpose of responding to your questions or application, fulfilling your requests or providing you with requested information. We restrict access to personal data to Svalinn authorised employees, contractors and agents who need to access to the personal data in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

How we protect the collected data

We implement and maintain appropriate organisational, technical and physical measures designed to safeguard and protect your personal data against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. In particular, the following technical and organisational security measures are implemented to preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal data, including but not limited to:

  • Encryption at rest of all personal data
  • Anonymisation where possible / required
  • Enhanced authentication methods, such as strong passwords and multi-layer authentication options
  • Procedures and processes for secure access of Svalinn authorised staff to personal data
  • Training to ensure awareness of security requirements applicable to all staff
  • Selection of appropriate processors and, as the case may be sub-processors, that can demonstrate compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws
  • Due diligence around sub-processors, processes and procedures as well as updates to procedures or renegotiation of terms / instructions to sub-processors where necessary

International transfer of your personal data 

As Svalinn operates at a global level, we may need to transfer personal data to other countries, in particular, head office for management purposes. Transfers may also need to be made to other countries where we operate. When we export your personal data to a different country, we will take steps to ensure that such transfer of personal data complies with applicable laws and legislation. For example, for transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to Svalinn group entities located outside of the EEA, we have implemented intra-group Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to enable the transfer of the personal data. We have applied for Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) in accordance with the process approved by the European Commission and the General Data Protection Regulation and we await final decision from the relevant data protection authority. These clauses are contractual commitments between Svalinn group companies binding them to protect the privacy and security of EEA personal data.      

Likewise, when we use third party service providers and their services involve transfers of personal data outside of the country where the personal data was initially collected, we ensure that the third-party service provider has appropriate data transfer mechanisms in place such as data processor clauses and/or Standard Contractual Clauses to enable the transfer. 

How long we keep the collected data

Personal data will be stored only as long as is necessary to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by applicable laws. As regards your contact details, we keep your personal data as long as we are in contact with you. If you have not contacted us during 4 years, we will delete your personal data after expiration of that time.

As regards the content of your message or request to Svalinn, we keep it during 2 years. After 2 years, we anonymise the content and we keep it in an anonymised way for statistics purposes.

Svalinn is only permitted to decline to act on a request if the request is excessive and/or manifestly unfounded (for example because repetitive requests having been made). In which case, Svalinn must be able to demonstrate the request is excessive and/or manifestly unfounded. In some cases, specific additional exemptions may apply. If Svalinn is exempt from the requirement of fulfilling your data subject’s rights request, then Svalinn will notify you if it intends to decline your data subject’s rights request and explain that an exemption applies.
