The Wästbygg Group is a large group in which all the group companies collaborate to varying degrees. For this reason, your personal data may be shared within the group. In the event personal data is shared by us and processed in accordance with our instructions, the recipient acts as the data processor and we are responsible for the processing.
We may also share your personal data with our service providers, e.g. IT providers, who process your personal data in the capacity of data processor on our behalf. Our service providers will only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions to meet their individual obligations towards us.
We always strive to process your personal data in the EU/EEA. However, in some cases your personal data are shared with parties outside the EU/EEA, e.g. service providers engaged by us. We ensure that your personal data continue to be protected in such cases by making sure that suitable protective measures are in place with all service providers that process personal data outside the EU/EEA.
If you would like further information about which countries we may transfer your personal data to (outside the EU/EEA) and which protective measures we take to protect your personal data, please contact us at the email address below.
The Wästbygg Group keeps your personal data for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes we collected them for, or for the length of time we are obliged to keep them in compliance with laws, regulations, government decrees, or according to standard business practices. We determine the length of time we are permitted and able to store your personal data on the basis of, for example, the following criteria.
- While we have an ongoing relationship with you and/or with the company where you are employed.
- As long as required in order for the Wästbygg Group to meet its legal obligations, e.g. under tax law.
- As long as is appropriate to ensure our legal position, e.g. under statutory limitation provisions.
- As long as is necessary for legitimate business reasons.
The Wästbygg Group has strict internal policies and guidelines on how we protect your personal data. We also apply suitable and reasonable technical and organisational safety measures, including IT security measures, to protect your personal data in a correct manner.
