In all our operations, including when processing personal data, we always comply with the principles of data protection specified in data protection legislation.

We only collect information that is necessary for our operations and their development. The collection of data is based on the person’s consent or another legal basis for processing.

We collect data:

  • to organise events and training
  • for communication and marketing purposes
  • for promotion and research purposes, using anonymised customer cases.

Data is collected directly from our customers or other persons via electronic forms, newsletter subscriptions, emails, telephone conversations and meetings.

All data is processed appropriately and with care. It is not passed on without consent. All data processing is monitored appropriately.

We have drawn up privacy policies regarding our personal data processing. Data is stored only for as long as it is needed, depending on the purpose of the data collection.

We abide by an obligation of secrecy regarding all content related to personal data. As a rule, no data is disclosed outside the EU or EEA. The third parties whose services we use are also committed to complying with current legislation regarding the processing of personal data.

Our staff are trained in data protection and information security. We use secure methods and tools in our work. We regularly train our personnel in legislative changes, principles and practices related to data protection, and information security.

We make sure our data and services are technically secure, and all our operations strive to prevent any personal data breaches and information security incidents.
