Our legal basis for collec­ting per­so­nal data

Collec­ting per­so­nal data based on cons­ents

The collec­tion of per­so­nal data based on con­sent from the data sub­ject will be done by using ​“Con­sent Forms” that will store docu­men­ta­tion rela­ted to the con­sent given by the indi­vi­dual. Indi­vi­dual cons­ents will always be stored and docu­men­ted in our sys­tems.

Collec­ting per­so­nal data based on con­tracts

We use per­so­nal infor­ma­tion for ful­fil­ling our obli­ga­ti­ons rela­ted to con­tracts and agree­ments with cust­o­m­ers, part­ners and sup­pliers.

Collec­ting per­so­nal data based on legi­ti­mate inte­rest

We may use per­so­nal data if it is con­side­red to be of legi­ti­mate inte­rest, and if the pri­vacy inte­rests of the data sub­jects do not over­ride this inte­rest. Nor­mally, to esta­blish the legal basis for data collec­tion, an assess­ment has been made during which a mutual inte­rest bet­ween Selux UK Ltd and the indi­vi­dual person has been iden­ti­fied. This legal basis is pri­ma­rily rela­ted to our sales and mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses. We will always inform indi­vi­du­als about their pri­vacy rights and the pur­pose for collec­ting per­so­nal data.

What type of per­so­nal data is collec­ted?

We collect name, phone number, title and email address, in addi­tion to your company’s name and con­tact infor­ma­tion. We may also collect feed­back, com­ments and ques­ti­ons recei­ved from you in ser­vice-rela­ted com­mu­ni­ca­tion and activi­ties, such as mee­tings, phone calls, docu­ments, and emails.

If you apply for a job at Selux UK Ltd, we collect the data you pro­vide during the app­li­ca­tion pro­cess.

Selux UK Ltd does not collect or pro­cess any spe­cial cate­go­ries of per­so­nal data, such as public unique iden­ti­fiers or sen­si­tive per­so­nal data.

How long do we keep your per­so­nal data?

We store per­so­nal data for as long as we find it necessary to fulfil the pur­pose for which the per­so­nal data was collec­ted, while also con­side­ring our need to answer your que­ries or resolve pos­si­ble pro­blems, to comply with legal requi­re­ments under app­lica­ble laws, to attend to any legal claims/​complaints, and for safe­guar­ding pur­po­ses.

This means that we may retain your per­so­nal data for a rea­sonable period of time after your last inter­ac­tion with us. When the per­so­nal data that we have collec­ted is no longer requi­red, we will delete it in a secure manner.

You have the fol­lo­wing rights with respect to your per­so­nal data:

• The right to request a copy of your per­so­nal data that Selux UK Ltd holds about you.

• The right to with­draw any con­sent to per­so­nal data pro­ces­sing at any time. For example, your con­sent to receive e-mar­ke­ting com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons:
• The right to request that Selux UK Ltd pro­vi­des you with your per­so­nal data and, if pos­si­ble, to pass on this infor­ma­tion directly (in a por­ta­ble format) to ano­ther data con­trol­ler when the pro­ces­sing is based on con­sent or con­tract.
• The right to request a restric­tion on fur­ther data pro­ces­sing, in case there is a dis­pute in rela­tion to the accu­racy or pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

The use of coo­kies and bea­cons

We use coo­kies and to collect infor­ma­tion as you navi­gate the company’s web­site hosted by our parent com­pany Selux AG and their pri­vacy state­ment covers their use.

This infor­ma­tion is used to make web­sites work more effi­ci­ently, as well as to pro­vide busi­ness and mar­ke­ting infor­ma­tion to the owners of the site, and to gather such per­so­nal data as brow­ser type and ope­ra­ting system, refer­ring page, path through site, domain of ISP, etc. for the pur­po­ses of under­stan­ding how visi­tors use a web­site. Coo­kies and simi­lar tech­no­lo­gies help us tailor our web­site to your per­so­nal needs, as well as to detect and prevent secu­rity thre­ats and abuse. If used alone, coo­kies and web bea­cons do not per­so­nally iden­tify you.

Do we share your data with anyone?

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your infor­ma­tion with any third par­ties without your con­sent, except from what is descri­bed below:

Third-party Ser­vice Pro­vi­ders working on our behalf:

We may pass your infor­ma­tion on to our sub-con­trac­tors and other asso­cia­ted orga­niza­t­i­ons with the pur­pose of them pro­vi­ding ser­vices to you on our behalf.

If requi­red by law:

We will dis­close your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion if requi­red by law or if we, as a com­pany, rea­son­ably believe that dis­clo­sure is necessary to pro­tect our company’s rights and/​or to comply with a judi­cial pro­cee­ding, court order or legal pro­cess. Howe­ver, we will do what we can to ensure that your pri­vacy rights con­ti­nue to be pro­tec­ted.
