Elanders Sverige AB wishes to thank you for visiting our website and expressing interest in our company and the services we can offer you. We\u2019re serious about your personal integrity. You should feel safe when you share your personal data with us. For this reason, we have established this policy. It\u2019s based on the current data protection laws and clarifies how we work to protect your rights and your integrity.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this policy is for you, as a visitor to our website, user of our services or receiver of products we distribute, to gain insight into how we process your personal data, what we use it for, who and under which circumstances we may share it with other parties as well as how you can take advantage of your rights.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/section>\n\n

What is personal data?<\/h2>\n \n <\/div> \n \n <\/div> \n \n
\n
\n
\n

Personal data is information about a natural person that makes a person\u2019s identity known or identifiable. Examples of information considered to be personal data may be a person\u2019s name, address, email address or telephone number. Information which cannot be connected to a natural person is not deemed personal data.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/section>\n\n

\n
\n

Why do we need your personal data?<\/h2>\n \n <\/div> \n \n <\/div> \n \n
\n
\n
\n

For the most part we need your personal data to fulfill our obligations to you. Our main objective is to never process more personal data than is necessary for the purpose, and we strive to always use the least integrity intrusive information possible.<\/p>\n

We need your personal data to be able to provide you with good service when, for example, you use our various web-services or when you order the products we manufacture and\/or distribute to you as the recipient.<\/p>\n

Often we process your personal data in the role of the supplier of products and services on behalf of our customers. We apply the same principles as stated above when processing your personal data with the reservation that we may share this information with the customer, in their active role as the Controller, and on whose assignment we perform the services or offer the products to you.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/section>\n\n

When do we collect your personal data?<\/h2>\n \n <\/div> \n \n <\/div> \n \n
\n
\n
\n

Communication<\/strong>
When you contact us via telephone, email or use an online contact form we may store the data you communicate to be able to answer your inquiries. This may include your name, email-address, telephone number and any other personal data you freely decide to share with us. We will retain this data as long as it is necessary for the purpose of your inquiry and delete it when it\u2019s no longer needed if we are not obligated to retain it by law.<\/p>\n

Order processing and fulfillment<\/strong>
The majority of the personal data we process relies on a main agreement between us and the company you are associated with, either as an employee or as part of a larger supply chain.<\/p>\n

In cases were no such main agreement exists processing is based on the performance of a contract that either your request for a quotation or order confirmation constitutes, and your approval of our terms of service with associated information regarding processing of your personal data.<\/p>\n

The personal data we need from you to be able to fulfill our obligations towards you may include: your name, email address, telephone number, company address, delivery address, invoice address, home address, the company you are associated with and information about which department or cost center you belong to.<\/p>\n

We will retain your information as long as there is an active main agreement between us and the company to which you are associated with. The user account will also be deleted if it is connected to one of our ordering portals and no business transactions has been registered in a two years\u2019 period.<\/p>\n

Online applications and other it solutions<\/strong>
Online applications and other it solutions are often integrated services offered by us to our customers as part of a main agreement and to be used by you, as an employee or as part of a larger supply chain.<\/p>\n

Using these solutions will, for the most part, require a user account to acquire access. For this reason, we may need to collect and process your personal data. The information we require is a username and a password but normally we also ask for your name and email address for the purpose of communicating with you.<\/p>\n

The account information may require you to enter more personal data such as your company name and address, etc. This information, however, is for us to be able to perform the order processing and fulfillment part of our obligations towards you.<\/p>\n

We will retain your information as long as there is an active main agreement between us and the company to which you are associated with. The user account will also be deleted if it is connected to one of our ordering portals and no business transactions has been registered in a two years\u2019 period.<\/p>\n

Newsletters, press releases and financial reports<\/strong>
In some cases, we may need your personal data for other purposes beyond performance of contract. We will in such cases always ask for your consent for each individual purpose.<\/p>\n

You have the right to, at any time, recall your consent. We will then no longer process your personal data or collect new unless it is needed to fulfill our obligations according to a contract or the law.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n <\/section>\n\n

Third party analytics and tracking<\/h2>\n \n <\/div> \n \n <\/div> \n \n
\n
\n
\n

We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics to help analyze how you use our website. While our use of analytics software always is steered towards the use of anonymized data it\u2019s important for you to be aware of that much of the information we process is considered personal data under the current data protection laws. Below you can read more details about the information we collect, how we use this information but also how you, as a visitor of our website, may disable our collection of your data.<\/p>\n

Google Analytics
<\/strong>The tracking information allows us to better understand the kind of people who come to our website and what content they\u2019re reading. This allows us to make better decisions about design and writing. Occasionally, we will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting. Google Analytics is also used to evaluate data from AdWords and the DoubleClick cookie for statistical purposes.<\/p>\n

All of our activity falls within the bounds of the\u00a0Google Analytics Terms of Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You may\u00a0opt out of Google\u2019s advertising tracking cookie<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google reCAPTCHA<\/strong>
We use \u201cGoogle reCAPTCHA\u201d (hereinafter referred to as \u201creCAPTCHA\u201d) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited<\/strong>, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.<\/p>\n

reCAPTCHA is used to determine whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is provided by a human user or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as a visitor accesses the website. For the purpose of this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various types of information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to Google.<\/p>\n

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed separately that such an analysis is taking place.<\/p>\n

Data storage and analysis are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from abusive automated data scraping and spam. Where appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information stored on the user\u2019s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with future effect.<\/p>\n
