Privacy policy
General
Briban Invest Aktiebolag 556251-8869 and Utvecklingsaktiebolaget Laburnum 556125-9598 (hereinafter jointly referred to as “we” or “us”) respects your privacy and the right to maintain control over your personal data. Our guiding principles are simple. We will be transparent about which data we collect and why.
This document shall serve as general comprehensive information depicting which kind of personal data that may be processed within our company, for what purpose, on which legal basis, and where to direct any questions.
Personal data we collect
Primarily we obtain data from you directly on the basis of the relationship that we have with you. You can be a contact person with one of our customers, contractors, and/or partners, or even a sub-consultant, jobseeker and/or student. In short, people we interact with within the context of our business.
Examples of personal data that we process are your name and your contact details (such as your mobile phone number and e-mail address). For jobseekers, this also applies to typical information provided in this process, for example cover letter and CV.
We may also update your information from other public records, such as via the Swedish Companies Registration Office, SPAR, etc. if it is deemed necessary, in order to maintain an updated and correct registry. We may also register personal data when you interact digitally with us, in connection with:
- Contacting us via e-mail and our website.
- Visiting our websites, including but not limited to collection of traffic data, location data, and other communication data, such as the IP address, type of device, operating system and web browser type that is used.
How we use information we collected
We process your personal data according to the relevant purpose and the relevant relationship you may or may wish to have with us, and this varies depending on whether you are a customer, partner, jobseeker, scholar, contractor, representative of a government agency/municipality etc. We process personal data primarily for the purposes stated below:
- In order to manage and maintain our customer-, supplier and/or partner relationship with your company (where you are employed) or with you as a selfemployed consultant, and fulfil the requirements of current agreements, orders, and requests, including our use of digital support systems, i.e., customer/supplier relation management systems.
- In order to manage administration, invoicing, correspondence etc. with our partners and deliver efficient services, which may involve responding to your inquiries, correcting incorrect details and/or sending information that you have requested, or which we regard to be of your interest, considering our relationship.
- In order to manage and maintain our relationship with you as a self-employed consultant or jobseeker for purposes of matching applicants with job and assignment opportunities.
- In order to fulfil and administer our commitments within the scope of our offered digital services (i.e., web and databases).
- In order to develop and improve our digital services, which may include analysis of user behaviour and statistical data on aggregated levels.
A high level of security and confidentiality is always ensured when processing personal data, as well as appropriate levels of technical and organizational measures, based on relevant risk and sensitivity.
Information that may be disclosed
We may share personal data with service providers that assist us in fulfilling the purposes of our data processing. Such providers offer IT-related services unless otherwise informed. If you are a self-employed consultant or a job applicant, information may also be disclosed to third-party customers/partners, as part of our mission to find assignments for you.
We only collaborate with partners processing personal data within the EU//EEA, or with companies that maintain the same level of protection as within the EU/EEA, by using EU standard agreements.
Legal basis
By submitting information to us, you grant us permission to register and store information concerning the service used, as well as processing the specified personal data for the specified purposes. We process your personal data based on the need to fulfil our legal obligations and for our legitimate interests. In the majority of cases, our processing of personal data is conducted as a natural result of our caretaking of our relationship with your employer – or with you directly – meaning that such is done on the basis of our legitimate interest.
In some cases, you are requested to give your consent for us to process your personal data for a particular purpose. By clicking on the “I agree” button on our website, or in any of our digital services, or giving your consent in a similar way, you agree that your personal data, such as your name, phone number and e-mail address, may be used for the relevant purpose described in connection with your provided consent.
Storage and screening of personal data
The processing is conducted in accordance with current legislation, which also means that personal data is not retained for a longer period than necessary for the purpose of the processing. We will store your personal data as long as you remain an active and potential customer, supplier (including sub-consulting partner or jobseeker), or a cooperative partner to us. If our relationship has ceased and/or it is not considered reasonable to re-activate it, we shall delete your information. Such reviews take place periodically and usually at least once a year. Unless we specifically indicate otherwise in any relevant terms, or obtain your specific approval, the personal data associated with individuals who have been inactive in their relationship with us for a consecutive period of 3 years, will be deleted.
Some information may be for retained longer due to other legal requirements, for example the Swedish Accounting Act.
Your rights and choice
You have rights to your personal data and you have the possibility to influence our processing of your data. On your and/or our own or partners’ initiative, we will correct data that are discovered to be erroneous. You can also request for your data to be deleted or for its use to be limited, by contacting us (for contact methods, please see the title “How to contact us” below). If you consider that your rights have not been respected by us, you can always contact us or the Swedish Data Protection Authority. You are further entitled to obtain a copy of the personal data you have provided to us in an electronic standard format, and to transfer such data to another data controller (data portability) as relevant. You are also entitled to object to the processing of your personal data that is made based on our company’s legitimate interest. If so, we must demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons that carry more weight than your interests, rights, and freedoms to continue the processing. You are always welcome to contact us to receive help in declining further communication from us.
You may obtain information concerning which personal details are registered, by requesting in writing a register excerpt from us (for contact methods, see the heading “How to contact us”).
