What is personal data?
Personal data is information that can identify you as a physical person. Here at the Danish Export Association, only the following personal data is relevant to our business: Name, work e-mail address, job title, place of employment, relation with regard to immediate decision-maker, CV, passport number, Civil Registration (CPR) no., marketing, sector and national interests etc., and situational pictures and videos. You therefore may be asked to supply us with personal data, as this may be necessary for us to carry out an activity.
The Danish Export Association processes the personal data that is associated with the contact persons at members’ locations, customers, suppliers and other relevant partners by collecting, registering, systemising, storing, adjusting, disclosing and deleting personal data.
We collect, process and store personal data about you in connection with membership, purchases or interests in our activities, offers, etc. It might also be the case that you are a necessary contact person because your colleagues have entered into an agreement with the Danish Export Association and have stated that you are the contact person. If this is the case, we will also process your personal data in accordance with our personal data policy. In both situations, consent must be freely and clearly given, so that you know precisely what personal data we collect, process and store, and to what purpose.
What is the purpose of our processing of personal data, what personal data do we process and that is the legal basis?
