  1. SUMMARY

When you use our Saphe Link app, we collect data to provide the “Services.”

For all collected data:

  1. PERSONAL DATA

Personal data refers to information related to a person's identity, such as name, address, email address, phone number, etc.

As soon as you register as a customer or user with Saphe, we store your name, address, phone number, and email address in an electronic customer database, which is only accessible to Saphe employees. Before we accept your personal information, we seek your explicit consent and ensure that you know exactly what information is stored. We use and store your personal information to provide the Services to you, such as sending you your ordered items, communicating with you, delivering traffic alarm data to you via the Saphe Link app, and fulfilling business regulations, which must be stored for 5 years according to Danish accounting law.

To process your order, certain personal data will be disclosed to selected third parties. These include the service providers we use for logistics, transportation, and payments, to whom we provide the necessary customer data for packaging, delivery, and payment.

As a customer of Saphe, you have the right to withdraw your registration at any time. You also have the right to see what personal information we have stored about you. These rights are considered part of GDPR. For further information, please send us an email at info@saphe.dk.

When you make a purchase on Saphe.dk, we immediately send an automated order confirmation to the email address you provided. This includes your contact information (name and address), to which the items will be sent, as well as your order number, payment method, and an overview of the items you ordered. This email also includes excerpts from our general terms, such as cancellation policies and warranty information.

These providers may only use your personal data for their specific purposes. Any other use is not permitted and will not take place under any circumstances. Read more under third-party services.

1.C USER ACCOUNT CREATION AND ADMINISTRATION

Some of the Services require a user account. By creating a user account, you provide us with details such as name, address, country of residence, date of birth, email address, and information about your vehicle. You can also provide additional information about yourself for use in relation to certain features of the Services. As part of the registration process and related interactions, we may use your email address for informational and security-related purposes. Examples include sending you emails during the account creation process and in the event of an email address or password change.

1.C.1 DISCLOSURE OF DATA FROM THIRD PARTIES

You can log in to our website and app using single sign-on (SSO) services such as Google and Apple. These services will allow the third party to authenticate your identity and give you the option to share certain personal information with us, such as your name and email address, to pre-fill our registration form.

When you use the Services, we may request information such as username and password, feedback on your user experience, information about your devices, information about your car, and your language.

We may also store information about your use of the Services, content you have shared with us, your agreements with us, services provided to you, and other interactions with us in connection with the Services.

Some of the Services are location-based and will determine your location using satellites, mobile networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other positioning methods. These technologies may involve exchanging data related to your location, unique device or mobile, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other network-related identifiers with Saphe.

When you use Saphe apps and products, including traffic alarms and route navigation, your location data is sent to Saphe to provide the service or content to you.

For customer support purposes, our apps may collect and store your location data along with other data related to the functions of the apps or products. The data is collected solely to understand and troubleshoot issues you encounter. The data is stored locally on your mobile device until you decide to share it with Saphe, and once shared with Saphe, it has a lifespan of 30 days on our server.

  1. CHANGE OF PRIVACY POLICY

  1. TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

In connection with the processing of your personal data, we transfer data to recipients in the USA, but only to companies that are part of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We will not transfer your personal data to recipients in the USA or other third countries characterized by the EU Commission as insecure third countries in connection with the processing of personal data.

Should it become relevant to transfer data to insecure third countries at a later date, this will only occur if the company in the respective third country has provided the necessary guarantees that the recipient's level of personal data protection is in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable EU legislation.

The transfers will therefore take place based on one of the following transfer bases:

The recipient is certified to comply with the principles of personal data protection under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We have entered into standard data protection clauses with the recipient, which, according to the EU Commission, offer sufficient guarantees for the protection of privacy, fundamental rights, and freedoms, as well as for the exercise of associated rights.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS

If you wish to exercise the rights below, you must contact us through the contact information listed at the top of the privacy policy.

We will process and respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible and no later than one month after we have received your inquiry, unless the complexity and scope of the request mean that we cannot respond within one month. In such cases, the response time may be extended to a total of 3 months, according to Article 12 of the GDPR.

A) Right of access

You have the right to access the personal data Saphe A/S processes about you, according to Article 15 of the GDPR. However, access may be limited by considerations of business secrets and/or intellectual property rights.

B) Rectification or deletion of personal data

If you believe that the information Saphe A/S processes about you is incorrect or inaccurate, you have the right to have it corrected or deleted, according to Articles 16 and 17 of the GDPR.

If we agree with you that the information we process is incorrect or contains errors, we will delete or correct this information as soon as possible.

However, deletion or correction of personal information will not occur if Saphe A/S is legally obligated to retain all or part of your personal data, or if it is necessary to retain this personal data to establish or defend a legal claim. In such cases, Saphe A/S will only retain the information that Saphe A/S is legally obligated or entitled to, and will delete other personal data about you.

C) Withdrawal of consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to Saphe A/S processing of your personal data in whole or in part at any time, according to Article 7 of the GDPR.

If you withdraw your consent, Saphe A/S will cease processing the personal data you have withdrawn consent for, unless Saphe A/S is legally obligated or entitled to retain all or part of your personal data. In such cases, Saphe A/S will only retain the information that Saphe A/S is legally obligated to, and will delete other personal data about you. Your withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing Saphe A/S has carried out until your withdrawal of consent.

If you withdraw your consent to the processing of the data necessary for the use of Saphe, we may be forced to delete all your data, as your profile will not function without the necessary data.

D) Objection

Saphe A/S processing is incorrect, but you do not want your information deleted, only the use of your personal data restricted.

F) Data portability

As our processing of your personal data is based on consent or a contract and our processing is carried out automatically, you have the right to data portability. The right to data portability means that you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, which you then have the right to transfer to another service provider, according to Article 20 of the GDPR.
