We use SSL Certificate data encryption

Any data exchange from and to our website is encrypted. For transmission protocol, we use HTTPS for our website, with each transfer based on up-to-date encryption protocols. With an SSL Certificate, any information that is transmitted becomes encrypted by inserting random characters into the original message making it unreadable to everyone except the intended server. This makes it almost impossible for hackers to steal your information.

The green or black secure padlock in the browsers address field denotes an active SSL Certificate.

GDPR - New rules on protection in the processing of personal data

We take every possible measure to follow European laws governing electronic data traffic and security in the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation). Read more about each right in the official GDPR html (link opens in new window).

On May 25, 2018 a new law began to affect all companies and organizations across the EU / EEA. The law is called the Data Protection Ordinance but is also known as the GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation. GDPR and a supplementary Swedish law, the Data Protection Act, will replace the previous Personal Data Act.

The purpose of the act is to make companies more responsible with regards to how they handle individuals' personal data in a safe and easily accessible manner. It contains, inter alia, rules on how personal data has to be processed, stored and the individuals' right to easily access the stored data and modify what is incorrect.

Customers' rights are strengthened

Many people know the GDPR for its hard-line regulation around the "right to be forgotten," where an individual can request a company to erase the personal data it holds on them. However, it also contains the right to access any information that may be held by a company. A major and important part of the improved protection for the customer is that companies and organizations get greater demands on how personal data can be processed. They should also be clear about what personal information they have about the customer, as well as how and why the data is used.

The new regulation includes, among other things

Right of Access - SAR (Subject Access Request)
These rights are standardised in Articles 15 - 22 of the EU GDPR. These include:

1. The right to be informed (Article 15 EU GDPR),
2. The right to rectification (Article 16 EU GDPR),
3. The right to erasure (Article 17 EU GDPR),
4. The right to restrict data processing (Article 18 EU GDPR),
5. The right to data portability (Article 20 EU GDPR),
6. The right to object to data processing (Article 21 EU GDPR),
7. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling (Article 22 EU GDPR).

The right to be informed (Article 15 EU GDPR)

2. Right to rectification.
The right to rectification (Article 16 EU GDPR)
You are entitled to have any incorrect personal data about yourself corrected and also to supplement if personal information is incomplete.

3. Right to be forgotten.
The right to erasure (Article 17 EU GDPR)
The right to be forgotten derives from the case Google Spain SL, Google Inc v Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, Mario Costeja González (2014). For the first time, the right to be forgotten is codified and to be found in the GDPR in addition to the right to erasure.

According to this, personal data must be erased immediately where the data are no longer needed for their original processing purpose, or the data subject has withdrawn his consent and there is no other legal ground for processing, the data subject has objected and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or erasure is required to fulfil a statutory obligation under the EU law or the right of the Member States. In addition, data must naturally be erased if the processing itself was against the law in the first place.

4. Limitation of processing.
The right to restrict data processing (Article 18 EU GDPR)
We store your data for as long as they are needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that multiple retention requirements may require that data continue to be stored. This specifically involves commercial or tax-related retention requirements (i.e. commercial code, tax code, etc.). Unless there are further retention requirements, the data will be deleted after use, as a matter of routine.

In addition, we may retain data if you have given us your permission to do so, or if there are legal disputes and we use evidence within the statutory limitation period, which may be up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.

5. Data portability.
The right to data portability (Article 20 EU GDPR)

6. Objection to data processing.
The right to object to data processing (Article 21 EU GDPR)
If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct mail, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without giving reasons. This also applies to the any, provided that it is related to the direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, then your personal data shall no longer be processed for these purposes. This is possible vie email to info@nordiccv.se at any time. This right to object is free and may take place without a form.

In the event that we process your data to protect justified interests, you may object to such processing at any time for reasons that arise from your specific situation; this also applies to profiling arising from these provisions.

We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds worthy of protection for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

7. Data profiling.
Automated individual decision-making, including profiling (Article 22 EU GDPR)
You have the right not to be subject to certain types of automated decisions which also includes profiling or in any way could be detrimental to your rights.
