HOW WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Below are our guidelines on how we process personal data at each stage from collection to final erasure. In order to ensure that the guidelines are met in our daily work, we have procedures that take into account and cover all the steps in the processing of personal data listed below. In addition, where applicable, we include procedures for the processing of personal data in the terms of reference we have with the respective customer.

COLLECT AND RECORD

We will only collect personal data that we are legally obliged to process based on our business or that can be considered essential to fulfill our existing obligations to our customers and employees as our business stands today. We will not collect personal data for the purpose of using it in the future for any purpose other than that for which it is intended today.

The only exceptions to the above are personal data that is used for marketing and sales purposes to persons in their capacity as directors of companies within our target group and personal data that is provided to us in connection with the recruitment of staff.

We will never collect personal data for the purpose of directly or indirectly selling them.

Based on the above points, we believe that we do not need consent in any case to collect the personal data we process, and therefore we should never ask for consent.

The collection of personal data shall be carried out in such a way that the personal data shall be transferred to the systems or storage location where they are to be used as soon as possible after we receive them. This is to ensure the secure storage of personal data. This means that personal data should never remain in emails, web forms, physical paper or similar documents unless these documents can be considered as part of the long-term storage of personal data and the protection of personal data is therefore adequate.

STRUCTURE, ORGANISE, PROCESS AND USE

We only use personal data for its primary purpose, i.e. in accordance with the purposes and reasons for which it was originally collected or transferred to us. These purposes are set out in contracts or other types of agreements with our customers and employees or in routine documents that govern the use of specific personal data in detail.

Where we structure or process personal data, this is never done for a purpose or in a way that alters the original purpose of use or allows the personal data to be analysed in a way that is incompatible with that purpose.

STORE AND PROTECT

We only store personal data where we can ensure that it is adequately protected. This means the following:

Digital storage on your own server is protected by firewalls from leading manufacturers. Only authorised personnel have access to the server room.

Digital storage in the cloud takes place only in CRM systems (and similar) with large established providers that guarantee at least the security justified by the nature of the personal data and the contractual obligations we have in relation to our customers.

Antivirus software is installed on all servers and clients. Antivirus definitions are automatically updated daily.

Access to data (both from our own server and from the systems in the cloud) is controlled by permissions based on the principle that no employee should have access to data that is not required for us to fulfil our obligations to customers and authorities. All employees have their own login with passwords created and changed in accordance with high security recommendations.

DISTRIBUTE AND TRANSFER

We never disclose or transfer personal data to third parties, except for what we are required by law to report to authorities.

We interpret the framework to mean that we can still distribute personal data to the data subject or to the controller via email. However, to ensure a high level of privacy protection when distributing personal data, the following applies:

We never distribute so-called sensitive personal data via regular unencrypted emails, but use higher security distribution methods.

We avoid emailing personal data together with other data in order to make it easier for the recipient to delete the email once the personal data is stored in accordance with the recipient's guidelines.

DELETE

We must always delete personal data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and used. In many cases, however, we rely on the systems we use for processing personal data to be adapted to delete data in an administratively manageable way. We currently apply the following guidelines for the deletion of personal data for which there are no longer any reasons to keep:

All such data must be deleted within two years at the latest.

Upon request by the controller to erase a large amount of personal data, this shall be done as soon as administratively possible, but within three months at the latest.

Upon direct request from the controller or from a data subject to erase personal data relating to an individual data subject, the data shall be erased as soon as possible, but within one month at the latest.

Any sensitive data must be deleted as soon as possible.

When we terminate engagement with a customer, we will return all personal data to the customer or to another party referred by the customer upon request. Thereafter, all personal data related to the customer will be deleted. In some cases, parts of our contractual obligation may remain for a transitional period. This may include, for example, the obligation to report data to authorities. In such cases, the personal data will be deleted when this obligation ends.

HOW CAN DATA BE DELETED?

A user of CrowdHut, can delete the user account upon request (via email to support@crowdhut.org). This data is deleted from the system immediately and cannot be recovered by any users or CrowdHut employees after this point. Data which has been deleted or otherwise destroyed can not be recovered at any time. Sufficient warning is given to the account administrator before data are permanently deleted.

Data may still remain in the systems back-up files, which will be deleted periodically.

Information may be deleted from our CRM upon request to support@crowdhut.org. We undertake to perform the deletion within one month (30 calendar days) and will send you a confirmation once the information has been deleted. Wherever possible, we will aim to complete the request in advance of the deadline.

WHY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We use your personal information primarily to provide you with our services, perform a concluded contract, comply with legal requirements, notify you of changes in our services, improve our services, enable us to conclude the required contract or perform it, or to meet legal requirements. We may also use this information with your consent to inform you of other services and products that we or selected third parties offer, which may be of interest to you or you could use.

SECURITY

The security of your information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the solicited information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of electronic transmission or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and therefore you transmit information to us at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Access to Personal information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. All Personal Information of our users is restricted and used only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
