Arctic Business Incubator’s Privacy Policy (GDPR) – Processing of Personal Data
At ABI, we value your privacy. You should feel safe when you entrust us with your personal data—and your ideas. That’s why we have established this policy. It is based on applicable data protection legislation and clarifies how we work to safeguard your rights and privacy.
The purpose of this policy is to inform you how we process your personal data, what we use it for, who may access it and under what conditions, and how you can exercise your rights.
We process your personal data primarily to fulfil our obligations towards you. Our principle is not to process more personal data than necessary for the relevant purposes, and we always strive to use the least privacy-sensitive data possible.
We also need your personal data to provide good service, for example to share important information, promote events and activities, follow up, and communicate with you. We may also need your personal data to comply with laws and to carry out customer and market analyses.
You have the right to ask us what personal data we hold about you and to request that it be deleted. We will do our best to meet such requests within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable legislation.
Examples of the personal data we process include:
• Name
• Address
• Email address
• Phone number
• Photographs of you from events and activities organised by us or others in which you participate
• Other information you voluntarily provide to us
You have the right at any time to withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent. In that case, we will no longer process your personal data or collect new data, provided it is not necessary to fulfil our obligations under an agreement or the law. Please note that withdrawing consent may mean we cannot fulfil certain obligations towards you. If you believe we handle your personal data incorrectly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
We also obtain access to your personal data in the following ways:
• Data you provide to us directly
• Data recorded when you visit our website
• Data we obtain from public registers
• Data we receive when you engage one of our employees
• Data we receive when you register for our courses or seminars
• Data we receive when you sign up for newsletters and other mailings
• Data we receive when you respond to surveys and questionnaires
• Data we receive when you contact us, apply for a job with us, visit us, or otherwise get in touch with us
• Data you provide in our agreements and their appendices
We have developed procedures and ways of working to ensure that your personal data is handled securely. Only employees, subcontractors, and other individuals within the organisation who need the personal data to perform their tasks will have access to it.
Regarding sensitive personal data, we have introduced specific access controls, which means enhanced protection for your personal data.
Our security systems are designed with your privacy in mind and provide a high level of protection against unauthorised access, destruction, and other changes that could pose a risk to your privacy.
Our principle is not to disclose your personal data to third parties unless you have consented to it or unless it is necessary to fulfil our obligations under an agreement or the law.
In summary, Arctic Business Incubator AB is the data controller for these matters, which means we are responsible for how your personal data is processed and for ensuring your rights are respected.
