Transfer and disclosure of personal data
Your personal data is processed by members of our company’s personnel as part of their work.
In some cases, your personal data may be disclosed confidentially to our partners or our subcontractors who process personal data on the basis of a written commission agreement.
Such cases include, for instance, data centre and cloud services intended for storing data, providers of the IT systems we use and external services acquired to support sales and marketing.
Our subcontractors and partners process personal data as agreed, according to our written guidelines and only for agreed, legal purposes.
Transfer of personal data outside the EU and the EEA
Data may be transferred outside the EU and the EEA within the limitations set by the Regulation. We will only transfer personal data outside the EU and the EEA to corporations whose sufficient level of data protection has been verified with agreements or in another manner required by the Data Protection Act. Data may be transferred in connection with system development, for example.
Our partners and subcontractors may only process your personal data in order to manage tasks related to customer relationship management or maintenance carried out on our behalf. We always ensure that our partners do not process transferred personal data for any other purposes.

We respect the confidentiality of your personal data.
We collect and process personal data in systems and data files protected by firewalls, passwords and other technological means. The systems are located in locked and guarded facilities and the data can only be accessed by authorised individuals. Access to the data file is only granted to individuals who need the data for work-related purposes.

We disclose personal data to our partners, such as our subcontractors, only in a confidential and restricted manner on the basis of agreements. Our partners must commit to ensuring adequate information security and the legal processing of personal data in all aspects of the processing.
The persons who process personal data are bound by an obligation of secrecy.
