Personal data may only be processed on legal grounds and in a manner prescribed by law. Where there is no legal ground for storing or processing personal data, the consent of the person concerned is required.

How and why we use personal data, and for how long

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

We only keep your personal data for the time necessary for the purposes listed above.

Personal data for which explicit consent to marketing use was given is processed for a maximum of two years from the last marketing campaign you actively took part in.

Personal data security

We have always kept your personal data safe and protected from misuse. We have also taken several additional steps to further strengthen the security and protection of your personal data.

We have reduced the number of authorised persons at all levels of the company structure who have access to your personal data. Access is limited to those who need to work with it to perform a contractual relationship or negotiate one, send commercial and advertising communications, conduct direct marketing, improve products and services, send news updates, respond to expressed interest, run customer competitions, organise educational events, and carry out marketing research.

All personal data you provide to us is protected by standardised procedures and the latest security technologies. To keep your personal data safe, we regularly audit our security system and apply security measures that prevent unauthorised access to your personal data and that provide sufficient protection given the current state of technology. The security measures in place are updated regularly.

However, we cannot fully guarantee the security of your data without your help and responsible behaviour. Please help us keep your data safe by keeping your unique passwords and other access credentials to our services confidential and by following basic security principles.

Sharing data with third parties

We only share your personal data with third parties we necessarily need for the subject of our business and for the purposes mentioned in this document. We carefully choose the partners we entrust your data to — partners able to provide such technical and organisational safeguards that unauthorised or accidental access to your data, or any other misuse, cannot occur. These third parties care about the protection of your personal data too. We will send you a complete overview of the third parties and their up-to-date privacy policies at any time on request.
