A Customers, suppliers, trading partners and other business contacts
RMIG processes data about contact persons employed with or otherwise representing former, current and potential customers, suppliers, trading partners and other business partners. As a contact person at a customer, supplier, trading partner or other business partner, RMIG processes your personal data as a Data Subject when you communicate with RMIG, e.g., via e-mails in connection with RMIG's existing contractual relationship with the company you are employed with or in connection with the conclusion or termination of a contract.
 
The information we process may include:

Ordinary personal data

  • Identification information, such as name, work, work telephone number, and e-mail address.
  • Other information such as job position and place of work

1 Purposes
RMIG processes personal data for the following purposes:

  • To offer a professional service towards our customers, suppliers, trading partners, etc. The registered personal data is therefore used for providing services to sales, purchase, manufacturing, delivery, market research, product development, business development and statistics.

2 Information sources
RMIG processes the personal data you have provided us.

Additionally, RMIG collects personal data from third parties, e.g., your employer.

3 Legal basis
Below, we have inserted the legal basis for each country/region for the processing of personal data. 

  • Ordinary personal data: We process ordinary personal data, including identification details (such as name, work e-mail address, work telephone number), and other information (such as job position, workplace etc.) for being able to offer a professional service towards our customers, suppliers, trading partners, etc.

EU/EEA:  

  • Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR on contractual relationships with consumers and personally owned companies,
  • Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR on legal requirements combined with national laws on for instance in relation to the obligation on the preservation of accounting records pursuant to the Danish Bookkeeping Act, and
  • Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests) of the GDPR, where the legitimate interests are to be able to offer a professional service towards our customers, suppliers and trading partners and fulfilment of our contractual obligations, maintaining and enhancing customer relationships and other partnerships, invoicing for the services your company provides to RMIG and/or vice versa, communicating with you if you have any questions related to our services or vice versa, and for documentation purposes. It is assessed that RMIG’s interest in being able to process personal data for the listed purposes override the Data Subject’s interest in the personal data not being processed by RMIG. In particular, the personal data is a very limited dataset and primarily related to business-related contact details.

4 Recipients
If deemed necessary, RMIG may disclose personal information about you to certain third-party recipients, such as intra-group companies, business partners of RMIG or advisors of RMIG, e.g. if the disclosure of your personal data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of RMIG's legal claims and authorities if we are required to do so by law. 

RMIG also uses data processors to provide certain functions. This applies, for example, to suppliers of IT systems. RMIG has concluded data processing agreements with the suppliers, and such suppliers will only process personal data about you on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions given by RMIG.

5 Transfer of personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland
Personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland in which case RMIG ensures that such transfers will be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection laws. This means that any party outside the EU/EEA that receives your personal data will ensure an adequate level of protection, e.g. by entering into the EU's standard contract clauses with RMIG. RMIG will adopt supplemental measures if necessary for the specific transfers. You can receive a copy of the legal basis for transfers upon request. Please contact DPM@RMIG.com.

6 Storage of personal data
If you are a contact person at a customer, supplier, trading partner or other business partner, RMIG will store personal data about you as long as RMIG communicates with you because you are RMIG's point of contact and keep the data for as long as it is relevant for our commercial interests, contractual obligations, warranty obligations, etc. 

RMIG does not delete information in which your contact details has been used for order processing or customer satisfaction purposes as we consider this documentation is primarily related to your employer and not attributed to you personally.

RMIG will store your personal data to the extent necessary for bookkeeping purposes such as personal data related to invoicing. This period may vary depending on local legislation in the countries where RMIG operates. 

In Denmark, such personal data will be stored for a period of 5 years from the end of the financial year to which the accounting records relate, cf. the Danish Bookkeeping Act and Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. 

There may be legal obligations that require personal data to be stored for a longer or specific period – in such cases, the data will be stored in accordance with applicable law.
