2 Name of the register

 

The name of the register is Designkontoret customer register. 

3 Purpose of the processing of personal data

 

Personal data is processed for purposes related to the management, administration and development of the customer relationship, the offering and delivery of services, and the development and billing of services. Personal data is also processed for the purposes of dealing with possible complaints and other claims.

 

In addition, personal data is processed for communication to customers, such as for information, news and marketing purposes, including for direct marketing and electronic direct marketing purposes.

 

The customer has the right to object to direct marketing directed at him/her.

 

The controller processes the data itself and uses subcontractors acting for and on behalf of the controller to process personal data.

4 Legal grounds for processing

 

The legal bases for the processing of personal data are those set out in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter also referred to as "GDPR"):

 

  1. the data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes (GDPR 6 art. 1.a);

  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (GDPR 6 art. 1.b);

  3. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party (GDPR 6 art. 1.f).

 

The aforementioned legitimate interest of the controller is based on a relevant and proper relationship between the data subject and the controller, resulting from the fact that the data subject is a customer of the controller and where the processing is carried out for purposes which the data subject could reasonably have expected at the time of collection of the personal data and in the context of the relevant relationship.

5 Data content of the register (categories of personal data processed)

 

By default, the register contains the following personal data of all data subjects:

​

  1. basic personal data and contact information: first name, surname, telephone number, email address

  2. information about the person's company or other organisation and the person's position or job title in that company or organisation

  3. the person's direct marketing consents and prohibitions.

6 Regulatory sources of information

 

Personal data is collected from the data subject himself/herself.

 

​Personal data are also collected and updated, within the limits of applicable law, from publicly available sources related to the performance of the customer relationship between the controller and the data subject and through which the controller carries out its obligations in relation to the maintenance of the customer relationship.

7 Retention period of personal data

 

Data collected in the register will be kept only for as long and to the extent necessary in relation to the original or compatible purposes for which the personal data were collected.

 

The need to retain personal data will be assessed every five years and in any event, data relating to a data subject will be erased from the register ten years after the end of the data subject's customer relationship with the controller and the completion of the obligations and measures relating to the customer relationship. For example, accounting records are kept for five years after the end of the accounting year.

 

The controller regularly assesses the need for data retention in accordance with its internal code of conduct. In addition, the controller shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data which are inaccurate, inaccurate or out of date, having regard to the purposes of the processing, are erased or rectified without undue delay.

8 Recipients (categories of recipients) of personal data and regular transfers of data

 

Personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

9 Transfer of data outside the EU or EEA

 

The personal data contained in the register will not be transferred outside the EU or EEA.

10 Principles for the protection of the register

 

Access to databases and systems containing personal data is only possible with personal usernames and passwords, which are issued separately. The controller has limited access rights and authorisations to information systems and other storage platforms so that only persons necessary for the lawful processing of the data have access to and can process the data. In addition, access events to the databases and systems are recorded in the log files of the controller's IT system.

 

The controller's employees and other persons are committed to maintaining confidentiality and secrecy with regard to information obtained in connection with the processing of personal data.
