1.3  We ensure fair and transparent data processing:

When we ask you to share your personal data with us, we inform you what data we process and for what purpose. You will receive information about this at the time your personal data is collected.

If we collect data about you from another party, such as a supplier, government authority or commercial partner, we notify you within 10 days of obtaining your personal data. We also inform you of the reason for collecting the data, and the legal basis that allows us to obtain your personal data.

2.   Processing of personal data

2.1  We use the following types of data about you:

We use data about you to improve our service and ensure the quality of our products and services, as well as when we contact you.

The data we use includes:

  • General personal details
  • Internet traffic data
  • Transaction data
  • Unique numbers of network devices

2.2  We collect and store your personal data for specific purposes:

We collect and store your data for specific purposes or other legitimate commercial purposes.

This occurs when we need to:

  • Manage your relationship with us
  • Process your purchases and supply our services
  • Fulfil your requests for products or services
  • Improve our products and services
  • Customise our communications with and marketing to you
  • Customise our commercial partners’ communications with and marketing to you
  • Meet legal requirements

2.3  We only process relevant and necessary personal data:

We only process data about you that is relevant and sufficient for the purposes defined above. The purpose determines the type of data about you that is relevant to us. The same applies to the scope of the personal data that we use. For example, we do not use more data than is necessary for the specific purpose. Furthermore, the type of data that it is necessary to collect and store for our commercial operations may be set out in law. The type and scope of the personal data that we process may also be necessary for fulfilling a contract or other legal obligation.

Before we process your personal data, we investigate whether it is possible for us to minimise the amount of data about you. We also consider whether some of the types of data that we process can be used in an anonymised or pseudonymised form. We can do this if it does not adversely affect our obligations or the service we offer you.

We seek to ensure that we only process personal data that is necessary for each of our specific purposes. It is therefore integral to our IT systems that we collect only the amount of data that is needed. It is also automatically ensured that the extent of the processing is not unnecessarily broad, and the retention time is not excessive.

In order to protect you from unauthorised access to your personal data, we also use solutions that automatically ensure that data is only accessible by relevant employees. There is also built-in protection against an unrestricted number of people gaining access to the data.

2.4  We verify and update your personal data:

We verify that the personal data we process about you is not inaccurate or misleading. We also ensure that we update your personal data continuously.

Since our service depends on your data being correct and up-to-date, we request that you notify us of relevant changes in your data. You can use the contact details above to inform us about changes.

In order to ensure the quality of your data, we have adopted internal rules and established procedures for verifying and updating your personal data.

2.5  We obtain your consent before we process your personal data:

We obtain your consent before we process your personal data for the purposes described above, unless we have legal grounds for processing it. We notify you of any such grounds and of our legitimate interest in processing your personal data.

Your consent is voluntary and you can withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Use the contact details above if you would like further information.

If we wish to use your personal data for a purpose other than the original one, we will notify you of this new purpose and ask for your consent before we begin the data processing. If we have other legal grounds for this new processing, we will notify you of this.

If, in respect of our products and services, we need to process data about a child, we will obtain express consent from a parent. We verify, as far as possible, that the consent is provided by a parent who has parental custody of the child.

2.6  We do not share your personal data without your express consent:

Before sharing your personal data with commercial partners and others, e.g. for marketing purposes, we obtain your express consent and inform you about what your data will be used for. You may at any time object to this form of disclosure.

We do not obtain your consent if we are legally obliged to disclose your personal data, for example as an aspect of reporting to an authority.

We obtain your prior express consent before we share your personal data with commercial partners in third countries. If we share your personal data with commercial partners in third countries, we ensure that their level of personal data protection matches the requirements set out in this policy under applicable legislation. Notably, we define requirements for data processing, for data security and for fulfilment of your rights in respect of, for example, objecting to profiling and lodging complaints with the Danish Data Protection Agency.

When you supply the card number, expiry date and CVC code, the data is recorded in Nets’ systems which provide very high security against unauthorised access to confidential data.

For business customers, this applies to the data provided about the enterprise’s contact person.
