Hydraulico may also disclose your personal data to a public authority in situations where we are specifically bound to disclose your personal data in accordance with the laws and notification obligations to which we are subject.

We try to limit the disclosure of personal data in personally identifiable form and thus the disclosure of information that can be attributed to you personally.

Hydraulico also transfers your personal data to data processors when this is necessary to fulfil the purpose. Our data processors process your personal data only for our purposes and on our instructions.

5 Transfer of personal data to countries outside the eu/eea

In connection with our processing of your personal data, we may transfer the information to countries outside the EU/EEA.

Data protection legislation in these countries may be less restrictive than it is in Denmark and the rest of the EU/EEA. In some countries, however, the European Commission has determined that the data protection level is in line with the level of protection in the EU/EEA.

If we transfer personal data to countries where this is not the case, the transfer of your personal data to these countries outside of the EU/EEA will be based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) drawn up by the European Commission or another similar transfer basis specifically designed to ensure an adequate level of protection.

You can read more about the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA on the European Commission’s website.

If you would like further information about our transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, please contact us at info@hydraulico.com.

6 Storage period, data integrity and security

Your personal data is stored no longer than is necessary to meet the purposes for which it has been collected. When your data is no longer necessary, we will ensure that it is deleted in a safe manner.

It is our policy to protect personal data by taking adequate technical and organizational security measures.

We have implemented security measures to ensure data protection for all personal data that we process. We conduct regular internal follow-ups on the adequacy and compliance of policies and measures.

As a data subject, you have several rights under the General Data Protection Regulation. Please contact us if you want to exercise your rights.

You may withdraw any consent unconditionally and at any time. This can be done by sending an e-mail to us (see the e-mail address above). Withdrawal of your consent will not have any negative impact. However, it may mean that we cannot honor specific requests from you in the future. Withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before it is withdrawn. Furthermore, it will not affect any processing performed on another legal basis.

• Right to erasure (right to be forgotten): Under certain circumstances, you have the right to have your personal data erased prior to the time when we normally delete it.
• Right to restriction of processing: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted. If you are entitled to restricted processing, we will from that time on only process the data – except for storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest.
• Right to objection: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data under certain circumstances – and always if the processing is for direct marketing purposes.
