Data security and retention

ACTIVE 24 shall ensure the confidentiality of personal data we process, maintain the personal data integrity and to secure it’s availability according to applicable privacy legislation.
As part of our commitments, we utilize reasonable and appropriate organizational, technical and physical procedures and measures to safeguard the information we collect and process, taking into account the type of personal data and risk posted to you and our Customers upon breach. Since root causes for privacy breaches are most likely to be found internally, we believe that building a strong corporate culture where respect for and awareness around privacy among our employees are fundamental to ensure lawful processing and protection of your data The following measures are of particular importance in this regard:
Organisational
- The Data Protection Council governing lawfulness of processing and privacy policies. The council is staffed with internal privacy and information security experts supervised by the Corporate Data Protection manager.
- A lawyer being appointed as Data Protection Officer acting as advisor and controller in privacy matters
- eLearning privacy courses that are mandatory for all employees
- Mandatory procedures for keeping records of processing activities and assessing risks for data subjects
- Data processing agreements with subcontractors that process data on behalf of ACTIVE 24
Technical.
- Personal data is transferred and stored in secure and redundant operating environments that are only accessible to ACTIVE 24 employees and subcontractors on a need-to-know basis
- Two factor identification can be set to login to an ACTIVE 24 account
- Service users are required to verify their identity (e.g. login ID and password) before they can access or make changes to their account.
Physical
- Premises protected by access control and video surveillance systems
How long we store your personal data
ACTIVE 24 will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the stated purpose, while also taking into account our need to answer queries or resolve problems and to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws.
This means that ACTIVE 24 may retain your personal data for a reasonable period after you and our Customer’s last interaction with us. When the personal data that we collected is no longer required we erase it. We may process data for statistical purposes, but in such cases, data will be pseudonymised or anonymised.
ACTIVE 24 as data processor
ACTIVE 24 provides many different services which can be used by our Customers to process data of their own customers. The purposes of such processing are determined by our Customers and not by ACTIVE 24, which makes the Customer the personal data controller. ACTIVE 24 does in such cases act as data processor and processes the data on behalf of and according to instructions given by the Customer. The relation between the Customer as data controller and ACTIVE 24 as data processor shall be regulated by a data processing agreement which is integrated in the ACTIVE 24’s General Terms & Conditions.
Customer’s and ACTIVE 24’s obligations
When the Customer act as data controller the Customer shall, according to applicable privacy legislation, ensure the legal grounds for processing the personal data. Further, the Customer shall assess and establish ownership to the risks posed to data subjects by processing their personal data. Another important aspect of the Customer’s duty as data controller is to comply with the information duty towards data subjects.
ACTIVE 24 is a natural part of the Customers duties as data controller, in the sense that ACTIVE 24 services constitute parts of the processing of personal data that the Customer must ensure are compliant with applicable privacy legislation. Thus, when ACTIVE 24 processes personal data on behalf of its Customers, we must do so in accordance with privacy legislation applicable for data processors.
In short, the Customer and ACTIVE 24 are obligated to cooperate to ensure privacy for data subjects. ACTIVE 24 shall provide the information necessary for the Customer to be compliant with applicable privacy legislation.
