In some cases, we may collect and use your data cross-devices for the purpose of achieving relevant content and advertisements on our websites.

If you do not provide data which is necessary to gain access to the services or a particular function, there is a risk that you will be unable to use the specific service or function.
How we use personal data
In this chapter we have summarized the purposes for which we process personal data and which legal basis we use. We primarily process your personal data on the legal basis that our processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (“Performance of a Contract”), or that the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party (“Legitimate Interest”). In some cases our processing is based on your consent (“Consent”) or that the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (“Legal Obligation”).
We have made the assessment that we have a Legitimate Interest to process personal data in those cases where the processing is necessary to meet our users’ and customers’ wishes and requests, to evaluate, develop and improve our content and the services and to be relevant in our offerings and advertising. Finally, we have a legitimate interest to protect our business operations.
Providing products, services and customer support. We use information in order to carry out your purchases from us and to provide you with our services and products such as subscriptions, private advertisements, premiers, events and courses, including providing contact in conjunction with events and courses, and to provide customer support. We may verify your age, payment details and/or your account when registering as a subscriber or user of our applications via the email you stated when registering. Legal basis: Performance of Contract or Legitimate Interest. Processing which is necessary for us to fulfil our contractual obligations to you is for example collection and storing of your address in order for us to be able to distribute a newspaper that you subscribe to or an invoice for payment of your subscription. Processing that is based on our Legitimate Interest is for example that we process your contact details in connection to your participation in a competition or voting. If you represent a company that has ordered our products or services, we may process information about you and the company you represent based on our Legitimate Interest in order to provide our services or deliver our products to the company. We also process your personal data to be able to accommodate your interest to receive customer support.
Personalised services. Some of our services entail that you obtain access to a more personalised experience which is based on your activities on our websites, interests and favourites, your location, customer profile and the choices you have made, for example if you have chosen to follow a specific writer or topic. Legal basis: Performance of Contract (if personalised content is part of the service) or Legitimate Interest.
Analytics and product improvement. We use personal data to analyse and improve our existing services and products, among other things by updating functions and obtaining an increased understanding as to how we can improve your user experience. For example, we use error reports in order to improve security functions, user behaviour, search questions and clicks on our websites to improve the relevance of search results, to determine which new functions should be prioritised, what content to be published on our websites and placement of relevant content. We use various analytic tools such as Google Analytics to collect data about how our websites are used in order to develop analyses based on such data. The data may for example present the most visited pages on the website, how the visitors navigate through the website and from which pages the visitors exit the website. Website analytics may also provide insight in how often visitors return to our websites and what content is viewed the longest. Sometimes we conduct surveys where we ask questions to our visitors in order to evaluate our services and products. This analysis may be used for, inter alia, product improvement. Legal basis: Legitimate Interest.
To better understand our business (so called “Business Intelligence”). We process personal data in order to develop statistic and analyses regarding our business. We use this information to make well informed decisions and to plan for future strategies for our business operations. Legal basis: Legitimate Interest.

We use information in order to protect our products, services and customers’ security by discovering and preventing fraud, for example double take up of offers, to resolve disputes and perform our agreements. We use information in order to comply with applicable legislation such as the Swedish Accounting Act (Sw: bokföringslagen). Note that we may delete content which you have published via, for example, a comment function, if it violates our user terms for a specific Service. Legal basis: Legitimate Interest or, where applicable, that the processing is necessary for compliance with a Legal Obligation.
Communication. We may contact you by email, telephone, push-function or otherwise to provide you with information relevant for your subscription, purchase or use of our services.

Legal basis: Performance of Contract (if the processing is necessary to carry out our contractual obligations to you) or Legitimate Interest.
User accounts. When you create a personal user account upon registration or by making a purchase from us, we ask for certain personal data. We will allocate you a unique customer ID for identifying your account and associated information. Your login information can, in certain cases, be used to log into user accounts provided by other companies within Bonnier News. When you log into your user account, we create a registration of the login, including date and time, information about the product you logged into, IP address and any error messages. Legal basis: Legitimate Interest.
Direct marketing and telemarketing. We use different channels for marketing, e.g. postal, telephone, email, SMS and our websites and other digital channels. The marketing may, depending on channel, include our own products and services as well as other companies’ products and services. Our marketing may be based on how you have used our services, such as reading and purchase history, as well as demographic data such as age, gender, residential area and geographic location. We may for example choose to direct certain marketing to a certain target audience, such as “women in Stockholm aged “30-35”. You always have the right to object to our direct marketing, i.e. marketing from us via post, email, SMS and telephone marketing, read more under the chapter “HOW TO ACCESS AND CONTROL YOUR DATA”. Legal basis: Legitimate Interest or Consent. When we use the legal basis Consent we will ask for your consent when we collect the personal data in question.

Legal basis: Consent.
Audience-based advertising on Facebook. Some of the companies within Bonnier News use Facebook’s service for audience-based advertising.

Behaviour-based retargeting of our advertisers’ products and services. This is another form of interest-based advertising which allows us and several of our advertisers to display advertising for our advertisers’ products and services. The advertisement is based on your reader and click patterns on a website which is not controlled by Bonnier News. For example, if you visit an online clothing store, you may see advertisements for the clothing store’s products on our websites. This allows companies to direct advertising to you if you leave their website without making a purchase. You can thereby be reminded, for example through an advertisement on DN.se, about the product or service you chose not to buy. Legal basis: It is the responsibility of the advertiser to ensure that it has a legal basis to process your data for retargeting ads on our websites. We only provide advertisement space on our website.
Other purposes. If we plan to use personal data for a new purpose, other than as described in this policy, you will be informed of such use before, or in connection with, compilation of the personal data. If legally required we will request your permission.

We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or decline to take any measure in the event of an unreasonable or manifestly unfounded objection or request.
Information regarding editorial content. Editorial content such as our articles, pictures and TV programs are not subject to the provisions of the GDPR. This means that you cannot request removal of an article based on the provisions of the GDPR. If you discover any errors in published material please contact editor-in-chief.
Security for your personal data
We employ a number of security technicians and security methods to protect your personal data from unwanted access, use and disclosure. For example, personal data which you state on a computer system to which there is restricted access is stored in protected premises. In conjunction with the transfer of extremely sensitive data (for example, credit card numbers and passwords) via the Internet, we provide protection of such data through encryption. In those cases where our providers use subcontractors, we conduct regular audits of such subcontractors to ensure that processing takes place in accordance with this policy and our security routines. We store the information we compile when a user is not logged in (authenticated) separately from customer-specific account information which identifies you, such as your name, email address or telephone number. When analysing customer views, product development, personalisation, trends, statistics and for similar purposes, we primarily use anonymous data which does not consist of personal data; alternatively, we use pseudonymised data which cannot be linked to a specific individual without supplementary information being used.
Where we store and process personal data
We process data primarily within the EU/EEA, however in certain cases we use suppliers who are established in the US or in other countries outside the EU/EEA, such as for distributing newsletters, for development and maintenance of our systems and for web analytics. Countries outside the EU/EEA do not always ensure a level of protection for personal data equivalent to that guaranteed within the EU/EEA. It may therefore be necessary to implement supplementary measures when personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA. In those cases where we use suppliers who are processing personal data outside the EU/EEA, we have ensured that there is a legal basis for such processing for example by entering into standardised contractual clauses with the recipient of the personal data, that are approved by the EU Commission.
It has so far been issued three sets of standard contractual clauses for personal data transfers. These are accessible on the EU Commission’s website: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en.
We specifically want to inform that we use the analytics tool Google Analytics (read more about how and why we you the tool under ”HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA” and ”COOKIES LOCAL STORAGE OF DATA”). Google Analytics stores data on our behalf in several countries, including the USA. You find more information about Google’s data center locations here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/. Google has engaged sub-processors who process data in different countries. You find more information about Google’s sub-processors and their locations here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/subprocessors/.
You find the standard contractual clauses applicable to our use of Google’s services here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/processorterms/mccs/
How long we store your personal data
We store personal data for the time necessary for the reasons for which they are used, e.g. for such time as required to enable us to provide the services; to maintain and improve the performance of existing services; to distribute necessary communication and market communication; to engage in development of our services; and to perform our statutory obligations. Since needs can vary as regards different types of data and with respect to different types of services, products and contexts, the period in which we store the information may vary.
Criteria that determine storage time. The criteria that primarily determine how long personal data will be stored are:
the reason we use the data, i.e. if we use the data to meet statutory requirements, it is stored for a longer time than, for example, contact information for direct marketing;
the type of data involved, i.e. sensitive data such as a food allergy is stored for a shorter period of time than, for example, contact information;
the way in which the data is stored, i.e. data which is not pseudonymised is stored for a shorter period of time than information which is pseudonymised;
our relationship with you, i.e. whether you are an existing, former or potential user/customer or whether you are visiting us without being logged in.
Contact details for direct marketing. We use your contact details for direct marketing during such time as we have a user or customer relationship and for a certain period of time after our user or customer relationship has ended, provided you have not objected thereto; read more under "YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS". We store your details for direct marketing purposes for up to 24 months following conclusion of the service (e.g. a subscription) or after your final purchase.
Information about purchases/transactions. If you are or have been a customer to us, we will store information relating to your purchases/transactions for 7 years for accounting purposes under the Accounting Act (Sw: bokföringslagen).
Company contact details. If your contact details are connected to a company that you represent, for example in conjunction with an event, your contact details may be stored to direct marketing to you for up to 36 months after the concluded event.
Prospects. We may contact potential customers by telephone in order to market our services and products. If you choose not to enter into a customer relationship with us, we store the contact details for up to 3 months from the date of contact. Companies within Di-gruppen may contact representatives of companies that are potential customers in order to market its services and products. In these cases, your contact details may be stored for up to 12 months from the date the contact details were collected by us.
User account data. If you have registered a user account, we use your data regarding, for example, interests and favourites, reader and purchase history, until such time as you close your account and for up to 24 months thereafter, if you do not request that we delete certain data. We store data in order to process complaints and to analyse user and customer behaviour with the aim of improving our services and for interest-based marketing.
Recording of telephone conversations. We store telephone conversations for 3 months.
Miscellaneous
Your personal data is deleted or anonymized when it is no longer relevant for the purposes for which it has been compiled. In conjunction with analyses of customer views, trends, etc. we use anonymous data which does not comprise personal data, alternatively pseudonymised data which cannot be attributed to a particular individual without additional data which requires specific measures.
Your personal data may be stored for longer than stated above in those cases where we are obliged to do so pursuant to any law, ordinance or public authority decision or to retain data which must be retained in order to resolve a dispute or if you have consented thereto.
Contact us
We have gathered information on how to access and control your personal data on our privacy portal (www.privacy.bonniernews.se) under the section “Hantera personuppgifter”. You are also welcome to contact customer service if you want a register extract, or if you want to request deletion, object to our direct marketing or if you want to exercise any of your rights (please read under “YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS”).

Work-related services. In respect of our services focused on traders and/or individuals in their professional life, we collect contact details from our business partners, such as Bisnode, and official sources, e.g. websites and social media such as LinkedIn. This information may be used to contact potential customers to market our products and services. We may also compile data about titles and any specialisation, workplace and job sector. This information is collected from you or official sources and used by us in order to adapt relevant offers to you in your professional life and to be able to deliver products to your workplace.
Conferences and events. Some companies within Di-gruppen arrange conferences, educational services and other events with the aim of creating a meeting place for, among other things, networking within the business community. We use your personal data to provide the event you have applied to attend to, to provide customer support and to provide our event app before and during the event. In some cases, we may use images or recorded material from the event in which you appear in order to inform about upcoming events. When applying for a conference or an event you may be required to provide us or our co-organisers with particularly sensitive information, such as information about special food or allergies, for booking and provision of the event.

Processing which is necessary for us to fulfil our contractual obligations is for example collection and storing of your contact details to administrate your participation at the event and to distribute an invoice for payment. Processing that is based on our Legitimate Interest is for example processing of your personal data to provide name-plate, our event app, to be able to accommodate your interest to receive customer support and to use and publish images or recorded material from the event in which you might appear. We may, based on your Consent, process information about special food and allergies or publish a list of participants (name, company and title) in our channels before the event.
