Who can gain access to your personal data and why?

 

We do not sell your personal data or share it with other parties unless it is necessary. This means that your personal data will be handled by our employees but only by the personnel in need of such access to conduct their work.

​

We need to work with suppliers and partners to conduct our business. Such parties will therefore process your personal data. We are responsible for any sharing of your personal data to such suppliers or partners and to make sure your personal data are safe when shared with third parties as set out below.

 

We will share your personal data with the following recipients:

​

• If you interact with us or visit our social media accounts, the social media platforms that you use will process personal data about you as a user.

​

• When you visit our websites and/or use our community and have given your consent, your personal data will be processed by the analytics- and marketing services that we use, i.e., Google, Facebook, Wix, Wordpress, and/or Mighty Networks. These recipients process personal data on our behalf as processors but are also processing your personal data as controllers. These services inform you separately about the processing that they are responsible for.

​

• We will store your personal data, anonymized when possible, within our IT systems to ensure good and secure IT operations. This means that we share your personal data with our IT suppliers.

​

Where is your personal data processed?

​

Your personal data will mainly be processed within the EU/EEA. However, when we use Google, Wix, Wordpress, Mighty Networks, and Facebook, or if you visit our social media, your personal data will be transferred outside the EU/EEA. One reason is that many of these companies are based in the United States. We have anonymized your personal data as far as possible to avoid your personal data being transferred outside of the EU/EEA.

​

Transfers only take place in accordance with applicable data protection legislation meaning that we will transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA when we can ensure an appropriate level of protection of your personal data. We will transfer your personal data under the standard contractual clauses (article 46.1 c GDPR), Module 1 (controller to controller), and Module 2 (controller to processor). You can find the standard contractual clauses here. In those situations where we have made an assessment that legislation and similar in a specific country outside of EU/EES, to which we transfer your personal data, affects the effectivity of the standard contractual clauses, we will take supplementary measures to ensure an appropriate level of protection of your personal data.

​

If you want to know more about who we share your personal data with and how your personal data is transferred, please feel free to contact us. Our contact information can be found at the beginning of this privacy policy.
