Categories of Recipients and International Data Transfers
Partners help us provide our services and provide tools for our employees and sometimes for our subcontractors. This also means that we exchange data with our partners. When doing so, we focus in sharing only the necessary personal data. Such sharing may take place only in the following circumstances and only if sharing the personal data to others is necessary.
Subcontracting; we may disclose some personal data to subcontractors or other business partners, when those provide services to or otherwise co-operate with Lindström , or if the subcontractor participates in service providing to a Customer. Where our end-user’s personal data needs to be disclosed to our subcontractors, we require, in our contracts with them, that they use such information solely for providing their agreed services and act in a manner consistent with this privacy policy as well as applicable laws.
