Handling and Storage of Data
Marketing and Personalization
If you have registered for our newsletter, we use your data to send the newsletter to you and to customize the content. This involves your email address as well as your user behavior and preferences. With this data we can share the information and know-how that we believe and hope you have the most interest in, and benefit of.
On our websites we plan to use information about our users for so-called personalization. This means that we use the data we have collected about you and your web usage in order to influence how the website looks for you. We also use personalization in our communication via social media and web advertising on online platforms other than modularmanagement.com.
For analysis of web user behavior and personalization we will use cookies. Once we start doing this you will be able to access our Cookie Policy.

Use of your personal data may also be required in order to fulfil our requirements in accordance with laws and regulations, for example regarding security and accounting.

If you have any direct questions regarding how we work with the Swedish Personal Data Act (PUL) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), please contact info@modularmanagement.com.
Data Sharing
Contractual Partners and IT Suppliers
We use a number of different IT services and systems. In some of these we store and handle personal data. We are committed to your personal integrity and the security of your data in all such instances. Some systems are installed locally, where only our personnel have access to the data, and in these instances, we do not share data with third parties.
Some IT services and systems are cloud based, or installed at suppliers, which means that we transfer data to the supplier. In these cases, the supplier is our data processor and handles data based on our requirements, in accordance with our instructions.
Internal IT Systems
Internally, we handle personal data in our customer database and in our sales and planning system. These systems are designed to deliver the services you have ordered, or are due to order, and in order to deal with questions and customer care in accordance with the provision of these services. All the data collected in these systems will be handled.
Web Analysis Companies
We use external suppliers for personalization and analysis of user behavior on our websites, and for user feedback. These companies use personal data as data processors for our purposes. This data primarily includes cookies and is dealt with on an anonymous and aggregated level.
Microsoft
We use Microsoft Office products and system services for our internal work. This means your data is handled by Microsoft as our chosen data processor. Data is stored by Microsoft in a cloud service within the EU. In the event of a comprehensive IT incident, data may be transferred to a non-member country outside of the EU/EEA. This transfer will only occur for data protection reasons.

Your Rights

If you withdraw your consent, we will delete all personal data and stop data handling as detailed by your prior consent. It may be the case that data is handled both as supported by consent, and because the handling is necessary and/or supported by other regulations.
