Below you find a statement of the rights you can claim by contacting our data protection officer. Contact information to our data protection officer can be found at the very end of this Privacy Policy.

Right to access

You have a right to, free of charge, request information regarding our Processing of your Personal Data. You also have a right to receive a copy of your Personal Data that we Process. Such a request shall be submitted to us in writing, with a clarification regarding which information you wish to access. We will respond to your request as swiftly as possible.

The copy of your Personal Data will be sent to your registered address unless otherwise is agreed with you in writing. In order to ensure the right person will be receiving the Personal Data we may come to request more information from you.

Right to rectification

The main responsibility to ensure that the Personal Data we Process is correct lies with Greenworks, as the data controller. If you inform us that the Personal Data you have provided us with is no longer correct, we will, if that is the case, promptly rectify this.

Right to erasure

You have the right to request that Greenworks, without unnecessary delays, erases your Personal Data. Personal Data shall be erased in the following cases:

if the Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
if erasure is necessary in order to comply with a legal obligation.
if your Personal Data has not been Processed in accordance with the Data Protection Rules; or
if you oppose the Processing of Personal Data after a balancing of interests has been carried out and your interest outweighs ours;
if the Processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes and you object to your Personal Data being Processed for such purposes;
if you withdraw your consent and the Processing was based solely on your consent;

There may be obligations which hinder us from immediately erasing all your Personal Data. These obligations stem from applicable legislation regarding e.g. accounting. If certain Personal Data cannot be erased due to applicable legislation we will ensure that the Personal Data will be used solely for the purpose of complying with such legal obligations and not for any other purposes.

Right to restriction

You have a right to request that Greenworks temporarily restricts the Processing of your Personal Data. Such a restriction can be requested in the following cases:

if you consider the Personal Data we have about you to be incorrect and in connection with this have requested rectification;
when the Processing of your Personal Data which is carried out is not compliant with the Data Protection Rules, but you still do not want your Personal Data to be erased but rather restricted; and
when we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of our Processing but you need it in order to establish, exert, or defend a legal claim.

If you have objected against the Processing of your Personal Data the use of your Personal Data may be restricted during the time of the investigation. Upon the restriction of your Personal Data IST will only store your Personal Data and for further Processing obtain your consent.

Right to data portability

If it is technically possible you further have the right to require that we transfer your Personal Data to another data controller.

Right to object

You have a right to object to our Processing of your Personal Data if the Processing is based on our legitimate interest after a balancing of interests. Greenworks may in such a case ask you to specify which Processing you object to. If you object to any Processing we will only continue our Processing of the Personal Data if there are legitimate interests for Processing which outweigh your interests.

11. Consent to the Processing of Personal Data

If you have given your consent Greenworks will send you newsletters and marketing which we believe you will be interested in via e-mail or sms depending on which kind of mailings you have requested from us.

12. Profiling

Greenworks will analyse your behaviour on Powerworkstools.com and how you interact with our newsletter and other mailings, in order to obtain more knowledge about you as a customer and our customers in general, as well as in order to improve out offers (this composes so-called “Profiling”). For the same purposes we may come to process potential personal wishes or preferences you have given us, e.g. information that you are interested in a certain type of product. This is done through analysing which products you have been looking at or based on what you have clicked on in our newsletter or our other mailings to you. Based on this information we provide you with customized marketing and offers.

Greenworks bases the Processing on Personal Data which is carried out for the Profiling in accordance with the Data Protection Rules on our legitimate interest of sending you offers and information which we believe you are interested in. As a ground for this we have conducted a balancing of interests where we have inter alia taken into consideration that the Processing does not concern any sensitive Personal Data, that you have requested our mailings, and that we have a clear business interest in being able to market our products and services to you as a customer in an efficient manner.

You can at any time object to the Processing of your Personal Data through Profiling. You can do this by contacting [email protected]. When we have received your message, we will seize the Processing of your Personal Data for Profiling purposes.

13. To whom do we transfer your Personal Data?

In order to provide our services and products we appoint select third parties. This entails that we share some of the Personal Data we have collected with them, e.g. to Greenworks´ group companies and other business partners such as suppliers of card and communications services or suppliers for printing and distribution. In connection with such transfer of your Personal Data Greenworks takes organisational and technical measures in order to ensure that your Personal Data is handled in as safe and secure a manner as possible. Such transfers are only carried out in situations where Greenworks has a legitimate business interest to do so. These select third parties will only Process your Personal Data in manners which follow from this Privacy Policy and in order to fulfil one or more of the purposes which are listed in this Privacy Policy.
