We therefor also work on a continuous basis with securing that our treatment of personal data is completely in compliance with current legislation, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which will be in effect starting on May 25th 2018.

Different parts of this Privacy Policy may also be relevant to you depending on your relationship with us. All in all, this policy is relevant for persons who

  • are clients of ours

5. What does it mean to be a Data Controller?

A Data Controller is a legal person or other entity that determines the purpose and means for the processing of personal data. A corporation is a Data Controller in regards to personal data it has for its own benefit in regards to its employees, customers, partners, users and others.

We, WeAreCube AB (company reg. no. 556925-4104) and WeAreCube Denmark ApS (CVR-nr 37217166) are the Data Controller and therefor accountable in accordance with applicable legislation, for the processing that occurs with your personal data, within the scope of our Services.

7. Why are we allowed to process personal data?

7.1 For it to be permissible for us to process personal data there must always be support for said treatment within the GDPR, so-called lawful basis. Such lawful basis may include:

  • Consent from the Data Subject
  • That the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill the terms of an agreement with the Data Subject, for example in relation to the use of the Services
  • Fulfilling a legal obligation, for example storing certain information due to legislation regarding certain accounting standards and practices. This could also be the case when handling opt-out settings requests concerning your rights as a Data Subject in accordance with GDPR.
  • A weighing of interests when we have a legitimate interest in using your data, for example for statistical purposes and to market our services, and to secure payment and prevent fraud
 

7.2 It may occur that the same personal data is processed both through support in terms of fulfilling an agreement as well as in terms of specific consent or in terms of the processing of that specific information is necessary to fulfill other legal obligations. This means that even though you may revoke your consent and the treatment based on said consent ceases, that specific personal data may remain with us for separate reasons.
