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.

Your rights to your per­sonal data

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 request that your per­sonal data is deleted when it is no longer nec­es­sary for Selux UK Ltd to retain such data.
• 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 right to object to the pro­cess­ing of per­sonal data, in case data pro­cess­ing has been based on legit­i­mate inter­est and/​or direct mar­ket­ing.

Cook­ies and sim­i­lar tech­nolo­gies help us tailor our web­site to your per­sonal needs, as well as to detect and pre­vent secu­rity threats and abuse.

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.
