‍

Keeping your data safe

We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect your data within our company.

The Internet is not a 100% secure environment and that means we cannot guarantee the security of the data you transmit to us. Emails sent via the Internet might not be encrypted, so we advise you not to include any confidential or sensitive information in your emails to us.
‍

Third parties and processors

We use companies (processors) to help us deliver our services to you, e.g. to provide the hosting environment for our product, send out newsletters, to help us run our website, manage our payment etc.

When we use a processor we make sure that there is a legal agreement in place regarding how they will be handling data on our behalf. We’ll also make sure that they have appropriate security measures in place and if they are located outside the EU, we’ll of course make sure that there is a legal agreement in place allowing us to give them access to the data (see more below).

We share your personal data with:

• Suppliers and vendors that we work with to assist our company (meaning service providers, technical support, supply services, and financial institutions)

• See more here: https://openli.com/legal/sub-data-processors/

In the event that we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. This policy will continue to apply to your information also after the information has been transferred to the new entity.
‍

Transfer to countries outside the EU/EEA

In some cases, we’ll transfer your data to the countries outside the EU/EEA.
Where a transfer of personal data occurs between Wardn International ApS and a data processor located outside of the EU/EEA, the transfer of personal data will include one of the following appropriate safeguards, as applicable:

• The EU - U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
• The adoption by the parties of the EU model clauses resulting from the EU Commission implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of Personal Data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

  ‍

Your rights

You have these rights:

• Your right of access and rectification - You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data or ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process but as a main rule you can always contact us and ask for your information.
• Your right to erasure - You can ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.
• Your right to withdraw your consent: If processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. You may withdraw your consent by sending an email to ac@wardn.dk
• Your right to restriction of processing and object to processing - You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information and a similar right to object to processing.
• Your right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability).
• Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data about you for such marketing.

We will make sure to answer your request without undue delay and in any event within one month of receiving your request.  It can be that the period will be extended by two further months if your request is very complex.

There may be conditions or limitations on these rights. It is therefore not certain e.g. you have the right of data portability in a specific case - this depends on the specific circumstances of the processing activity. You are always welcome to contact us and ask. The same goes for some of the other rights.
