How can you affect our processing of your personal data?

According to data protection legislation, you are entitled to a variety of rights to affect our processing of your personal data. Read more below.

Right to withdraw consent and to object to processing
You have a right to, wholly or partly, withdraw a given consent for the processing of your personal data. Your withdrawal will have effect from the time of your withdrawal.

You have always a right to object to marketing and profiling, such as customised marketing. You have a right to object when the processing is based on a balance of legitimate interests. In some other cases, the right to object does not exist (e.g. since we must store your personal data). If we can show compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that weigh heavier than your interests and fundamental rights or if it is for the purpose of determining, practicing or defending legal claims you do never have a right to object to the processing.

Right to access
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal data concerning you and information about the processing, such as the purposes and for how long we store your personal data. You can gain access to the personal data and obtain a copy of the personal data processed by us.

Right to rectification
You have a right to obtain rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning you and to ask us to have incomplete personal data completed.

Right to erasure (“the right to be forgotten”) and restriction of processing
Under certain circumstances, you have a right to request erasure of your personal data. This is the case for example where the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, or you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based on and where there is no other legal ground for continuance of the processing.

You also have a right to request that we restrict its processing of your personal data. That is the case for example when the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, or the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead requests restriction of its use.

Right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority
You always have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

You may do this in in particular in the EU/EEA member state of your habitual residence, place of work or of an alleged infringement of the applicable data protection laws. In Sweden, the supervisory authority is the Swedish Data Protection Authority. This right is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
