What is personal data?

Personal data is any kind of information that can be directly or indirectly attributed to a natural person. This applies, for example, to your name, national identification number, address, e-mail address, and phone number. This also applies to encrypted data and different types of electronic identities, such as IP numbers for example, if they can be linked to natural persons.

 

Why do we use your data?

We use your information to deliver the services and products you have ordered from us and to handle queries and customer care.

 

Where is your personal data stored?

We handle personal data in our computer systems.

 

Who has access to your personal data?

Your personal data is shared within Care of Sweden with access control at different levels.

 

Microsoft

We use Microsoft Office products and system services for our work internally. This means that your personal data will be processed by Microsoft, which has been engaged by us as personal data processor. The personal data is stored by Microsoft in a cloud service in the EU. The personal data can be transferred by Microsoft to a third country (i.e. a non-EU/ESS country) in the event of a major IT incident. This transfer is solely for the purpose of protecting the data.

 

Contracting partners and IT suppliers

We use a number of different IT services and IT systems in our business. We safeguard your privacy and the security of your data during all such processing. Some systems are installed locally with us and, in these cases, only our staff have access to the data. In these cases, there is no transfer to a third party. Some systems are cloud solutions, or installed at the supplier, which means we transfer personal data to the supplier. In these cases, the supplier is our data processor and handles the data on our behalf through contracts between us and the supplier.

 

On what lawful basis is the data handled?

As lawful basis, we cite contract, legal obligation and legitimate interests.

If you would like information about the information we have registered about you, you can apply for this by writing to the address above. The extract from the register is provided on request and is free of charge once a year.
