WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION AND WHAT CONSTITUTES HANDLING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal information constitutes all types of information which can directly or indirectly be attributed to a physical person who is alive. Pictures (photos) and sound recordings which are handled in a computer can be personal information, even if no names are mentioned. Encrypted details and different types of electronic identity (e.g. IP number) constitute personal information if they can be connected to physical persons. The handling of personal information is everything that takes place using said personal information. Every action performed using personal information constitutes handling, irrespective of whether or not it is done in an automated way. Examples of common means of handling include collection, registration, organisation, structuring, storage, processing, transfer and deletion.

FROM WHICH SOURCES DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Over and above the details you give us yourself or that we collect from you based on your purchase and how you use our services.
WITH WHOM MAY WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In cases where it is necessary for us to be able to offer our services, we share your personal information with companies that are personal information processors for us. A personal information processor is a company that handles information on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.

We have personal information processors who help us with:
1) Transporters (logistics companies and forwarding agents).
2) Payment solutions (card redemption companies, banks and other payment service providers).
3) Marketing (print and distribution, social media, media agencies or advertising agencies).
4) IT services (companies which handle necessary operation, technical support and maintenance of our IT solutions).

When we share your personal information with personal information processors, this is solely for purposes which are compatible with the purposes for which we have collected the information (e.g. to be able to fulfil our undertakings in accordance with the purchase agreement). We always check all personal information processors to ensure that they can provide adequate guarantees regarding the security and confidentiality of personal information.

We also share your personal information with certain companies which are independent personal information managers. The company being an independent personal information manager means that we are not the ones who control the way in which the information that is given to the company will be handled.

Independent personal information managers with whom we share your personal information are:
1) Government authorities (the police, the Tax Agency or other authorities) if we are obliged to do so in accordance with the law or where crime is suspected.
2) Companies that deal with the transportation of public goods (logistics companies and forwarding agents).
3) Companies that offer payment solutions (card redemption companies, banks and other payment service providers).
When your personal information is shared with a companies that is an independent personal information manager, the company’s privacy policy and personal information handling apply.
WHERE DO WE HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We always strive to ensure that your personal information is handled within the EU/EEA and all of our own IT systems are within the EU/EEA. However, at the time of system support and maintenance, we may be forced to transfer the information to a country outside the EU/EEA, e.g. if we share your personal information with a personal information processor who, either itself or through a subcontractor, is established or stores information in a outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, the processor may only see the information that is relevant to the purpose (e.g. log files). Irrespective of which country your personal information is handled in, we take all reasonable legal, technical and organisational steps to ensure that the level of protection is the same as within the EU/EEA. In cases where personal information is handled outside the EU/EEA, the level of protection is guaranteed either through a decision from the EU Commission stating that the country in question ensures an adequate level of protection or through the use of suitable protection measures. Examples of suitable protection measures are approved code of conduct in the recipient country, standard agreement clauses, binding intra-company rules or Privacy Shield. If you would like a copy of the protection measures that have been taken or information on where these have been made available, you are welcome to contact us.
FOR HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We never retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for each purpose. See more above about the specific storage periods under each purpose.
WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS AS A REGISTERED PERSON?
Right of access (register extract):
We are always open and transparent with the way in which we handle your personal information and if you would like deeper insight into which personal information we handle about you, you can request access to the details (the information is given in the form of a register extract stating purpose, categories of personal information, categories of recipient, storage periods, information on where the information has been collected from and where automated decisions are made).
Remember that if we receive a request for access, we may ask for further details to ensure efficient handling of your request and that the information is given to the right person.

Right to correction:
You can request that your personal information be corrected if the details are incorrect. Within the framework of the stated purpose, you also have the right to supplement any incomplete personal information.
Remember that you as a member of MonkeySports can change certain details directly through My pages.

Right to deletion:
You can request deletion of personal information that we handle about you if:
*The details are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they have been collected or handled.
*You object to a balancing of interests that we have carried out based on legitimate interest and your reasons for objection outweigh our legitimate interest.
*You object to mot handling for direct marketing purposes.
*The personal information is handled illegally.
*The personal information must be deleted to fulfil a legal obligation by which we are covered.
*Personal information has been collected about a child (below the age of 13) for whom you have parental responsibility and the time of collection was in connection with an offer of the information society’s services (e.g. social media).
Remember that we may have the right to deny you the request if there are legal obligations that prevent us from immediately deleting certain personal information. These obligations come from book-keeping and tax legislation, bank and money laundering legislation, but also from consumer rights legislation. The handling may also be necessary for us to be able to establish, invoke or defend legal claims. Should we be prevented from granting a request for deletion, we will instead block the personal information from being used for purposes other than the purpose preventing the requested deletion.

Right to limitation:
You have the right to request limitation of our handling of your personal information. If you contest that the personal information that we handle is correct, you can request limited handling for the period we need to check whether the personal information is correct. If we no longer need the personal information for the established purposes but on the contrary you need it to be able to establish, invoke or defend legal claims, you can request limited handling of the details by us. This means that you can request that we do not delete your details.

If you have objected to a balancing of legitimate interests that we have carried out as a legal basis for a purpose, you can request limited handling for the period we need to check whether our legitimate interests outweigh your interests in having the details deleted.
If the handling has been limited in accordance with one of the situations above, we may only, in addition to the actual storage, handle the details to establish, invoke or defend legal claims, to protect another party’s rights or if you have given your consent.

Right to make objections to a specific type of handling:
You always have the right to avoid direct marketing and to object to all handling of personal information that is based on a balancing of interests.
Legitimate interest. In cases where we use a balancing of interests as a legal basis for a purpose, you have the option of objecting to the handling. To be able to continue handling your personal information after such an objection, we need to be able to show an imperative legitimate reason for the relevant handling which outweighs your interests, rights or freedoms. In other cases, we must only handle the details to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Direct marketing (including analyses carried out for direct marketing purposes):
You have the option of objecting to your personal information being handled for direct marketing. The objection also covers the analyses of personal information (profiling) which are carried out for direct marketing purposes. Direct marketing means all types of outreach marketing measures (e.g. by post and email). Marketing measures where you as a customer have actively chosen to use one of our services or have otherwise looked us up to find out more about our services are not counted as direct marketing (e.g. product recommendations or other functions and offers on My pages).
If you object to direct marketing, we will stop handling your personal information for that purpose and stop all types of direct marketing measures.

Right to data portability:
If our right to handle your personal information is based on either your consent or fulfilment of an agreement with you, you have the right to request to have the details concerning you and which you have given us transferred to another personal information manager (known as data portability). One condition for data portability is that the transfer is technically possible and can take place in an automated way.

HOW DO WE HANDLE PERSONAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS?
We will only handle your personal registration number when it is clearly justified with regard to the purpose, necessary for secure identification or if there is another noteworthy reason. We always minimise the use of your personal registration number as far as possible by, in cases where it is possible, instead using your date of birth.
