Collection of personal information

We must collect personal data to be able to enter into agreements with clients and this may require that we collect contact information for contact persons among our company clients. For consumers personal data can for example be processed to support invoicing or when they contact customer support.

We follow current applicable law and below we describe in brief how we process personal data for clients (companies, consultants with own companies, consumers and our contact persons at partner companies).

If you would like to know more about our processing of personal data according to temporary workers, please refer to our integrity policy for temporary worker.

In order for Cool Company to be able to process personal data, we must have a legal ground, that is, a legal basis. Processing of personal data is legal, if the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. Processing is also legal if the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Cool Company is subject. Processing may also be done according to a balancing of interests, where Cool Company’s interest in processing information is balanced against the interest of the registrant in protection of integrity and the result is that a  legitimate interest exist, or after the registrant has submitted consent to the processing. Consent is submitted separately and can always be revoked.

Which categories of personal data are processed and how do we collect them

The categories of personal data that Cool Company may need to process and save to be able to enter into agreement are:
–       name
–       personal identification number
–       login information
–       address
–       contact information such as e-mail address and mobile number
–       case history (if you have been in contact with customer support)

Personal information may be used for an invoice basis or because we need to contact you or from a customer support perspective. 

We collect information in different ways, either because you or your company have created an account and provide us with information or because our temporary worker collect the information. Your personal information may, however, also be collected because you contacted us, for example through our customer support.

Time period

Cool Company saves and processes personal data that constitute invoice information for as long as required by law and this is deleted before ten years. The categories that are saved are those that are needed for legitimate aims.

Company accounts are saved until it is deleted by the company. The company is responsible for the information that the company has registered into the account so it is updated. Personal information that has come in to customer support is deleted after one year, if not needed for longer according to identified legal reasons.

If you delete your account yourself, your information is deleted quickly, and always within a month from the time you deleted the account assuming that the information is not needed for legal reasons.

If you want your information to be removed, we will do this within a month from when you submitted the request assuming that we don’t have to save the information because of our legal obligations.

Transfer to a third party country 

Recipients and suppliers can be established both within the EU/EEA and in a third party country. A third party country does not apply the legislation GDPR. If Cool Company transfers your personal data to a third party country, we check that there is either an adequate level of protection in the country or that there are special guarantees that the information and your rights are protected. Sufficient guarantees can be that the transfer is regulated by special contract clauses that protect your rights or by internal company rules that are passed through. The contract clauses that are mentioned have a content that aims to ensure that the contractor shall live up to the standard that the GDPR requires and ensure that your integrity is protected.
