Personal data and data protection

Introduction

In the course of doing business, there may be circumstances where Asuria collects personal information in order to enable you to participate in our services or programs. Personal information is information or an opinion about an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

The Asuria Privacy Policy has been developed to ensure that such information is handled and protected appropriately and in accordance with the Swedish privacy protection legislation and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This Policy sets out the broad controls that have been adopted to govern the way we collect and use personal information, the circumstances under which we may disclose personal information to third parties, how personal information held may be accessed, and what to do if concerned with the treatment of your personal information.

Means of collection

The Company collects most personal information directly from the person, unless the person consents to the collection of information by someone else other than them, or the Company is required or authorized under a Swedish law, or a court/tribunal order, to collect the information from someone other than the individual. Third parties may also share information with us about people, including Government agencies and other related parties. Where reasonable and practicable, the Company will collect personal information directly from you and inform you that this is being done.

When the Company collects personal information, the Company will take reasonable steps to ensure that the person is aware of:

  • the collection;
  • the purpose of the collection;
  • the main consequences (if any) if the information is not collected;
  • the types of organisations (if any) to which the information may be disclosed (including those located overseas);
  • any law that required the particular information to be collected; and
  • the fact that this Policy contains details on access, correction and complain

Personal information collected by the Company is held in a variety of formats including hardcopy and on our computer systems.


How We Use the Information We Collect

The Company only collects, holds and handles information about you that is necessary for the Company to perform the services that are requested of the Company, that is otherwise reasonably necessary for business activities or if required by law. The Company will not collect sensitive information unless the person to whom it relates consents to the collection and, the information is reasonably necessary for one or more of the Company’s business functions or activities. The exception to this is where collection is required or authorised by law, is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the person’s (or another person’s) life or health or is necessary in relation to legal proceedings (current, anticipated or potential), or another permitted exception under law applies.

Use or disclosure of personal information

The use to which the Company can put personal information depends on the reason for which it was collected. The Company may use personal information for its primary purpose of collecting the information, or for a related secondary purpose that we could reasonably be expected to use the personal information for.

The Company respects the privacy of personal information and will take reasonable steps to keep it strictly confidential.

The Company will disclose personal information to third parties if it is necessary for the primary purpose of collecting the information, or for a related secondary purpose, if the disclosure could be reasonably expected such as;

  • (i) with our subsidiaries and affiliates;
  • (ii) if you are a job seeker or employer seeking to recruit; and
  • (iii) with organisations and consultants helping us to find you a job

Where such disclosure is necessary, the Company will require that the third party undertake to treat the personal information in accordance with the legislative requirements. Otherwise, the Company will only disclose personal information to third parties without the consent of the person to whom the information relates if the disclosure is:

  • necessary to protect or enforce Asuria’s rights or interests or to defend any claims;
  • necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat to a person’s health or safety;
  • required or authorised by law;

If the Company uses or discloses personal information to third parties in accordance with the above, the Company must make a written note of the use of disclosure.


Direct marketing

Under no circumstances shall the Company sell personal information.

 

Information security

The Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information held by the Company is secure from any unauthorised access or disclosure. The Company stores personal information in archive systems for a period the Company considers reasonable depending on the primary purpose for which the information was collected. Only properly authorised people who have a need to access personal information to perform their job will be able to see or use that information.

Personal information will be de-identified or destroyed when it is no longer required such that it cannot be re-identified at a later date.

The Company will ensure that its employees receive training about the management of personal information relevant to their respective roles and responsibilities in accordance with the Company’s Information Security Policy.

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.

Refusal to give access

However, if the Company is satisfied that, having regard to a purpose to which the information is held, the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading; or the individual requests the Company to correct the information, the Company must take steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to correct the information to ensure, having regard to the purpose for which it is held, the information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading. If a person believes that any personal information that the Company holds about them is inaccurate or out of date, then they should contact the Asuria Data Protection Officer.

If the Company corrects personal information and the individual requests the Company notify a third party of the correction; the Company must take such steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to give that notification unless it is impracticable or unlawful to do so.

If the Company refuses to correct personal information, the Company must give the individual a written notice that sets out:

  • the reasons for the refusal, except to the extent that, having regard to the grounds for the refusal, it would be reasonable to do so; and
  • the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal; and
  • any other matter prescribed by the regulators

  4. Right to restriction of processing: A data subject has the right to request that the Data Controller restricts the processing of his or her data.
  5. Right to data portability: The data subject has the right to request the data portability meaning that the data subject can receive the originally provided personal data in a structured and commonly used format or that the data subject can request the transfer of the data to another Data Controller.
  6. Right to object: The data subject who provides a Data Controller with personal data has the right to object, at any time to the data processing on a number of grounds as set out under GDPR without needing to justify his or her decision.
  7. Right not to be subject of automated individual decision-making: The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, if such profiling produces a legal effect concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects him or her.
