Sharing and transferring personal data
Personal data may also be transferred for necessary processing to other companies that the SUNBEAMsystem Group collaborates, e.g Facebook, in case of marketing (print and distribution, media agencies, etc.), distribution and transportation, payment solutions and IT services. When your personal data are shared with SUNBEAMsystem’ partners, the data shall be processed according to SUNBEAMsystem’ instructions and for SUNBEAMsystem’ account, and only for purposes compatible with the purposes for which SUNBEAMsystem has collected the data.
In addition, SUNBEAMsystem may be legally obliged to provide information to government authorities (e.g. the police and tax authorities). SUNBEAMsystem may also provide personal data to companies that provide payment solutions (e.g. payment service providers and banks) and enterprises that provide general goods transportation (e.g. logistics companies and freight forwarders). In such cases, the partners shall process the data as independent personal data managers in accordance with their own privacy policies and management instructions.
SUNBEAMsystem strives to process personal data within the EU/EEA and collaborate with partners and suppliers who process personal data within the EU/EEA. If not possible, processing of personal data may occur outside the EU/EEA in countries that are considered to have an adequate level of protection in accordance to the EU Commission’s decision, or through the use of appropriate safeguards, such as standard contract clauses, binding internal company rules or US Privacy Shield. The countries where SUNBEAMsystem’ partners process personal data outside the EU/EEA are the US and India. Regardless of the country in which personal data is processed, SUNBEAMsystem takes reasonable technical, legal, and organizational measures to ensure that the level of protection is the same as in the EU/EEA. You will have access to the standard contractual clauses and more information about these by clicking here.
Storing personal data
The processing complies with legal requirements, which means that personal details are not retained for longer than essential for the purpose of the processing. In practical terms, this means that information is removed when it is no longer relevant or necessary for analyses or direct marketing or the purposes for which it was collected. For marketing purposes, we do not use information about purchase transactions which is more than 3 years old. All handling of personal data will however be subject to a high level of security and secrecy.
