• Personal data (e.g. the name and address of a customer),
• Contractual data (e.g. services used),

Privacy Policy
We warrant that we process the data we gather from you solely to handle your requests and for internal purposes, as well as to provide you with the services you requested or content.

 

Grounds for data processing

We process your personal data only in compliance with the relevant data privacy regulations. Legal grounds are:

 

• Provision of our contractual services (Article 6 (1) point (b) GDPR)

 

• Consent (Article 6 (1) point (a) and Article 7 GDPR)

 

• Processing for the protection of our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR)

 

Recipients of data

Data are passed on to third parties only in accordance with the statutory regulations. We pass on your data only if this is necessary for performance of a contract or on the basis of legitimate interests in ensuring that our business operations are conducted economically and efficiently.

 

If we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take suitable legal precautions and appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure personal data are protected in compliance with relevant statutory regulations.

 

In order to provide the learning platform, we use Eurekos Systems ApS Torvet 4A, 2., 3400 Hilleroed, Denmark to handle and host the data. We have concluded a commissioned data processing contract with this service provider in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

 

 

Transfer of data to a third country or international organization

“Third country” denotes countries where the GDPR does not apply directly. Basically, that means all countries outside the EU and the European Economic Area.

 

Data are not transferred to a third country or international organization.

 

Length of time for which your personal data are stored

We abide by the principles of data economy and data reduction. That means we store your data only for as long as required to fulfill the above purposes or as defined by the various retention periods prescribed by law. If the purpose no longer applies or such retention periods have expired, your data are blocked or erased routinely and in compliance with statutory regulations.

 

We have created an internal concept at the company to ensure that.

• Processing to fulfill our services and perform contractual measures

Article 6 (1) point (b) GDPR

 

We wish to point out that e-mails may be read or changed without authorization and without a user noticing when they are transferred. We also wish to point out that we use software to filter unwanted e-mails (spam filter). The spam filter may reject e-mails if they are falsely identified as spam due to specific features.

 

Data processing when a customer account is opened

In accordance with Article 6 (1) point b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary in each case if you provide such data when opening a customer account.

A customer account can be deleted by the participant (LMS account holder) or by sending a message to the address of the person responsible given above or to academy@meteocontrol.com. Following deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted, provided that all contracts concluded on the basis of the data have been fully processed, no legal retention periods prevent this and no legitimate interest on our part in the continued storage of the data exists.
