EL-VIS Privacy policy

Privacy policy

Version 2.9 (30/11/2023)

At Elinfo, we care about personal integrity and the secure handling of personal data. The idea behind our privacy policy is to provide you, as a private individual, with a clear picture of which personal data we collect, where we collect it, how we handle it and why. We also want to be transparent about which subcontracted processors and external services we use, and why.

We handle personal data in accordance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Which data we collect

We collect data from you when you use our products/services, register for an EL-VIS account (either yourself or by an administrator), place an order, send an email, visit us or complete a form on our websites. In certain cases, personal data can be included in registers of newly registered companies, which we purchase on a regular basis.

Address

Used to send invoices, and also, if required, to deliver products. Used for information purposes when sending out brochures and other important information. You are welcome to contact us to decline all forms of physical mailings.

Email address

Used as a communication channel for quality assurance, support and sales. Also used as a user name for those with an EL-VIS account. Used for mailings in connection with marketing and information, which you decide whether or not you wish to receive. You can also unsubscribe via the link at the end of this email.

Log

We also collect data from the use of our products/services via automatic data collection tools. This is data that is necessary for us to be able to improve our products/services, but also to monitor compliance with the terms of use that need to be accepted before any of our products/services are used. More about this in the next section.

Name

Needed to identify you as an individual.

Personal ID number

If a sole trader or a private individual becomes a customer, we need to save the personal ID number instead of a corporate ID number. In our digital “Self-check programme” you as a user can enter the personal ID number of the electrician who is bound by regulatory compliance.

Phone number

Used as a communication channel for quality assurance, support and sales.

Anonymized web statistics

If consent is giving for thirdpart-cookies, we collect web statistics in order to understand and improve the user experience as well as for customizing our ads and marketing. As a user of our website, you choose which cookies you accept. Read more in our Cookie Policy below.

2. How we collect your data

We collect data from various places. EL-VIS consists of three platforms, referred to below as EL-VIS Desktop, Maxikod and Online. We also collect data from our website. If you visit us at a trade fair, we collect data there. We sometimes need to collect data if you phone us, for example about a support case. In connection with email conversations, personal data such as email address and phone number will often be shared.

2.1 EL-VIS Desktop

We save data in order to check whether the terms of use are being observed, and also to be able to improve the product.

Legal basis: Agreement with the data subject

2.2 EL-VIS Maxikod

Form

To be able to run the full version of EL-VIS Maxikod, the user must request a unique licence file. To do this, a form has to be filled in and sent to us by email, so that we can process the request manually. This involves entering the following personal data: Name, place and email address.

2.3 EL-VIS Online

Create account

A free of charge EL-VIS account is required in order to be able to use our products and services. The personal data required to create an account consists of first name and surname, email address, mobile phone number, company and location.

When an account is created, an email is always sent to the address stated for the user, and the owner must provide verification and thereby approve the creation of the account.

There are three ways in which an account can be created:

– By the user (Legal basis: Consent)

– By the company’s administrator (Legal basis: Agreement with the data subject)

– By us at EL-Info (Legal basis: Consent, Agreement with the data subject, Fulfilment of legal obligation)

Logging

To see how much the products are used, we save data when login takes place. In these cases we only save who has performed the login and when.

Legal basis: Agreement with the data subject

2.4 Email

In an email, we will sometimes receive data of a personal nature. If the person in question requests something of us that requires us to enter the person’s data into our systems (e.g. CRM), we will do this. If the data relates to another person in the company, we critically examine the source before entering that person’s data. It must be significant for us to be able to deliver the product in accordance with the agreement we have with the customer.

Legal basis: Consent, Agreement with the data subject

2.5 Website

Order

To be able to place an order via our website, some personal data is required, partly so that we can send the delivery and invoice, partly so that we can make contact with the person in question.

In connection with various support cases we may need to access, for example, databases and saved files. In these cases, the content can in turn contain personal data. This kind of support is provided primarily by employees, but can in certain cases need to be forwarded to consultants for expert assistance.

We may also ask to be allowed to use TeamViewer to gain remote control of the user’s computer, to make it easier to provide assistance. In these cases we always make it clear that the user must not have any sensitive data accessible and that he/she is always sitting and watching what is being done.

Legal basis: Consent, Agreement with the data subject

2.8 Phone calls

We receive data verbally in connection with phone calls. We will usually be talking to the person whose data is involved, although sometimes the data may relate to another person in the company. In these cases we critically examine the source before entering that person’s data. It must be significant for us to be able to deliver the product in accordance with the agreement we have with the customer.

We save your personal data for as long as is required for the purpose of the processing. We save data for as long as necessary in order to be able to perform our commitments towards you or our customer, and for as long as it is required in accordance with statutory storage times.

We always strive to process your data within the EU/EEA and for the majority of your data this is the case.

In these cases, we will take all reasonable legal, technical and organisational measures to make sure that your data is handled securely and with an adequate level of protection comparable with the protection offered within the EU/EEA.

  • Regular cookies save a file for a longer period of time on your computer.

Once the expiration date of the current cookie has passed, it will be deleted from your computer when you revisit the website that placed the cookie on your computer in the first place.

8.2 How do we use cookies?

We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about website traffic and website interaction so we can offer better experiences and tools in the future. Our website may use both first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are usually necessary for the website to function properly and they collect some of your personal information. Third-party cookies are primarily used to understand how the website works, how visitors interact with our website and to provide advertisements that are relevant to you, facilitate your future interactions with our website and provide you with a better user experience.

We collect information about how visitors navigated to and on our pages through tools such as Hubspot, Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console. Certain parts of this data can form the basis for targeted marketing on other pages you visit on the internet. With the help of the CookieYes service, we are transparent with which cookies we have and give you as a visitor the opportunity to customize which cookies you allow us to use:

9. How we deal with external parties

We do not sell, trade or in any other way transfer your personal data to external parties. This does not include trusted third parties who help us to run our service or business and provide service to you.

A third party can also be external services used in our products/services. We have a policy of using as few external services as possible, and in those cases where they are used, they must comply with GDPR.
