Information you provide

We record and process information that is being entered or send to us by you on our websites. This includes data entered in forms or contact fields.

Additionally we record and process personal information when you e-mail someone at svarmony. This concerns the contents of your e-mails as well as data obtained from queries to our e-mail server, such as sender and addressee IDs, time stamp, errors or reasons for refusal in case your e-mail doesn’t get through.

 

Profile and login information for access-protected areas

When applying for a position through our website, you will have to enter data that is required by the registration form itself, particularly your e-mail address, and a few details about yourself. Further details are provided by you voluntarily. Once that is complete, you will get a noreply email stating how we process and save this data.

 

Newsletters and information services

If you would like to use our newsletters or other information services, we will need a working, verified e-mail address and details from you, in order to ensure that the address’ owner agrees to receive our newsletter/information services.

You can withdraw your consent or object to your personal data and e-mail address being stored and used to send newsletters or for marketing purposes at any time.

 

Additional note

In all other cases we will never record/use your personal data without your explicit and unequivocal consent to treat your personal data.

 

Who do we send your data to?

  • Sending data to third parties
    As a fundamental rule, we do not disclose, transfer, sell or otherwise market personal data to third parties, such as other companies or organizations, without your explicit consent or as required to meet our contractual obligations that make a data transfer necessary, between svarmony and you.
  • Transfer of data to countries outside the EU/EEA
    We do not transfer any personal information to any countries outside the EU or EEA unless we asked for your explicit consent before transferring the data.

 

How long can we store data before we have to delete it?

The regulation is very specific on how long we can store your data. Once these terms expire, we routinely delete this data or block it, following the current data protection rules. Where data is not subject to these terms, we delete it once the purpose we collected it for does not apply any longer.

If you have allowed us a longer duration of time for storing, processing and using your data, we will delete your data after this duration expires unless you revoke your consent before expiration.
