    PRIVACY

     

    What personal information do we collect and why?

    The collection of personal information at Picosun is based on either a written consent, a contract, a legitimate interest (duties related to the client relationship or performance of services) or a legal obligation. In general, all of the information we collect is given to us by individuals directly meaning we do not collect data through means of observation.

    We register information about our customers such as name, e-mail address and phone number of customers’ contact people. This information is used to conduct a successful business relationship and ensure our ALD solutions are delivered on time. At times, we may send News Letters and Customer Satisfaction Surveys to our customers’ contact people to further improve our services, unless you have forbidden it or otherwise opted-out from receiving such messages.

    We register information about our prospect customers which we collect upon contact via e-mail, through our website’s contact sheet or in events such as business meetings and trade fairs. This information consists of names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers and is used to pursue business negotiations.

    We also register information about our suppliers contact people such as name, e-mail and phone number to ensure a timely production of our products.

     

    How do we protect your information?

We have implemented appropriate processes to secure all data from accidental or malicious manipulation, loss, destruction and unauthorised access. We will monitor the access to our data and report any leaks and misuse within timelines defined by law. We will not store any more information than what is needed. The security and privacy aspects are factored in the design phase of any process where we may collect personal information. Our processes are under constant risk-assessment.

    Picosun only stores personal data as long as it is necessary for the purpose it was collected for or as long as required under applicable laws. When the personal data is no longer necessary, we will automatically delete it.

     

    How do we disclose or transfer your data?

    In principle Picosun does not transfer or disclose any personal data it collects to third parties. However, we may from time to time disclose, transfer or allow access to personal data within companies belonging to the same group as we do. We also use third parties as our service providers as well as subcontractors, who may sometimes gain access to our data (including personal data). In such cases we always ensure that sufficient security measures are implemented, and that we only use vetted service providers and subcontractors, who are known to have implemented appropriate security measures.

    We do not transfer personal data outside the EU or the EEA, apart from conducting a customer satisfaction questionnaire where the contact information and answers will be located in severs in the United States. In such cases we always ensure that such disclosures or transfers are done following appropriate security measures by e.g. entering into binding data transfer agreements or other legal security measures required under applicable laws. All transfers and disclosures are done only on need-to-know basis and always in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
