I. EIZO Nordic privacy policy

This privacy policy applies to the websites www.eizo.dk, www.eizo.ee, www.eizo.fi, www.eizo.lv, www.eizo.lt, www.eizo.se and www.eizo.no run by EIZO Nordic AB. It regulates the manner in which EIZO Nordic AB and its cooperative partners handle the data that affect users of the website.

You can generally use our website without providing any personal data. If a data subject wishes to use our company’s services via our website, personal data may have to be processed. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will always obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data (e.g., name, address, e-mail address of a data subject) is always in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with our country-specific data protection regulations. 

With the following privacy policy we would like to inform the public about the nature, extent and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. At the same time, data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through our website. However, data transmissions over the Internet can generally contain security holes. Thus, 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, of course, any data subject can also transmit personal data by phone, for example.

1\. Definitions under the GDPR

This privacy policy is based on the definitions used by the European Regulatory Authority when adopting the GDPR (Article 4 GDPR). This privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for anyone. You can read the GDPR via the following link:

eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/

The aim of our privacy policy is to inform you in a simple and understandable manner about the processing of your personal data on our websites and through our apps. To facilitate this, we would first like to explain the terminology used. The following definitions, for example, are used in this privacy policy:

'Personal data' refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter the ‘data subject’); such natural person is regarded as identifiable as they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular, by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person;

'Data subject' is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

'Processing' refers to any process performed with or without the aid of automated procedures or any such series of operations relating to personal data, such as the collection, recording, organisation, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, correlation or association, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data;

'Restriction of processing' refers to the marking of personal data stored in order to limit its future processing;

'Profiling' is any kind of automated processing of personal data which involves the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular, to analyse and predict aspects relating to job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or relocation of this natural person;

'Controller' is the natural person or legal entity, public authority, body or other agency that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data; if the purposes and means of such processing are determined by the law of the European Union or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for the controller’s appointment may be provided for under European Union law or the laws of the Member States;

'Recipient' is a natural person or legal entity, public authority, body or other agency to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether or not the recipient is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data under Union or national law in connection with a particular mission are not considered to be recipients; the processing of such data by said authorities is in accordance with the applicable data protection rules pursuant to the purposes of the processing;

'Third party' is a natural person or legal entity, public authority, body or other agency other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor to process the personal data;

'Consent' of the data subject is any voluntary expression of will, in an informed and unambiguous manner, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous confirmatory act by which the data subject expresses his or her agreement to the processing of the personal data concerning him or her.

4\. Deletion and blocking of personal data

If the purpose of its storage no longer applies or if a legally prescribed retention period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

5\. Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of the data’s use

On its website, EIZO collects and processes personal data for the following events and occasions, although not all operations listed necessarily apply to every language variant of EIZO websites or are available. Where third parties are involved in the processing of personal data, an agreement for contract data processing was concluded with each one separately.

In addition, we use cookies and analysis services on our website. Further details can be found in Sections 9 and 11 of this privacy policy.

6\. Further information on the legal basis of processing data

Art. 6 I (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for EIZO Nordic AB for processing operations that require obtaining consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is required to execute a contract of which the data subject is a party, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 I (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example, in the case of inquiries about our services and products. If EIZO Nordic AB is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 I (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 I (d) GDPR. Furthermore, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 I (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of EIZO Europe GmbH or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject prevail. We are permitted such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator (see recital 47, second sentence, GDPR). 

7\. Consideration of legitimate interests 

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I (f) GDPR, the legitimate interest of EIZO Nordic AB is the execution and fulfilment of our business activities in favour of our employees and shareholders.
