How we protect your personal data

Nordfin takes the trust that you and our customers place in us very seriously. Nordfin undertakes to prevent unauthorized access, dissemination and other improper processing of personal data. Nordfin must ensure the confidentiality of the personal data that we process, preserve the integrity of the personal data and ensure the accessibility of the personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation.

As part of our commitments, we apply reasonable and appropriate organizational, technical and physical procedures and measures to protect the information that we collect and process, taking into account the type of personal data and the risk that you and our customers face in the event of a possible breach. The root causes of privacy breaches are most likely to be found internally and therefore we believe it is necessary to build a strong corporate culture where our employees have respect for and knowledge of privacy in order to guarantee legal treatment and that your personal data is protected.

How long do we store your personal data?

Nordfin only saves your personal data as long as necessary for the specified purpose, taking into account that we must be able to answer questions and solve problems and fulfill legal obligations in accordance with applicable legislation.

This means that Nordfin may save your personal data for a reasonable period of time after the last contact between you or our customer and us. When we no longer need the personal data we have collected, we delete it. We may process personal data for statistical purposes. In these cases, the data will be pseudonymized or de-identified.

Customer and accounting information is saved in accordance with current legislation.

Nordfin as personal data assistant

Nordfin provides several different services to our customers. The majority of our services involve the processing of customer data, including their personal data. The purpose of the processing is determined by our customers and not by Nordfin. This means that the customer is responsible for personal data. In these cases, Nordfin acts as a personal data processor and processes the data on behalf of the customer and according to his instructions. The relationship between the customer as personal data controller and Nordfin as personal data assistant must be regulated in an agreement on the processing of personal data.

The customer's and Nordfin's obligations

When the customer acts as a personal data controller, the customer must, in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation, ensure that there are legal grounds for processing the personal data. The customer must also assess and determine responsibility for the risks that the data subjects run in connection with the processing of their personal data. Another important aspect of the customer's obligation as a data controller is to provide relevant information to the data subjects.

Nordfin is a natural part of the customers' obligations as data controllers, in the sense that Nordfin's services are included in the processing of personal data that the customer must ensure complies with applicable data protection legislation. Thus, when Nordfin processes personal data on behalf of customers, we must do so in accordance with the data protection legislation that applies to personal data processors.

In short, the customer and Nordfin must cooperate to ensure the integrity of the data subjects. Nordfin must provide the information required for the customer to comply with the applicable data protection legislation.
