External data handling
In some cases, we may use another company or software to store and handle data about you. We call this a data processor. In cases where we use data processors, we must ensure that we have entered into data processor agreements that regulate how the data processor can process data that is made available.
The standard for this is that the agreement with the data processor can only process personal data on our behalf and for clearly defined purposes.
