Personal data and privacy protection within the Sigma Group

General

The Sigma companies (hereinafter jointly referred to as “we” or “us”), respect your privacy and the right to maintain control over your personal data. Our guiding principles are simple. We will be transparent about which data we collect and why.

The Sigma Group is a collaborative business group with local drive and decentralised management. This means that each Sigma company individually processes personal data for its individual activities. Processing of personal data is similar within the group, however that there are applications that are unique for certain companies and purposes. The Sigma company that is responsible for the processing of your personal data, is the controller and is responsible for ensuring that processing takes place in accordance with current legislation. You should therefore refer to the respective Sigma company’s own home page, and to the Sigma company you have a relationship with, to find out their policy and their processing of personal data.

Insofar as you register for any of our services, databases, apps, or use a website that is administered by us, there may be specific terms and conditions that apply. Such services and databases can be unique for one Sigma company, but also used jointly by several companies in collaboration. Further terms and conditions are presented in conjunction with usage or registration of relevant service.

This document shall serve as a general comprehensive information depicting which kind of personal data that may be processed within the Sigma companies, for what purpose, on which legal basis, and where to direct any questions.

Personal data we collect

Primarily we obtain data from you directly on the basis of the relationship that we have with you.

Information that may be disclosed

We may further share personal data with service providers that assist us in fulfilling the purposes of our data processing. Such providers offer IT-related services and marketing services unless otherwise informed. If you are self-employed consultant or a job-applicant, information may also be disclosed to third-party customers/partners, as part of our mission to find assignments for you.

We only collaborate with partners processing personal data within the EU//EEA, or with companies that maintain the same level of protection as within the EU/EEA, by using EU standard agreements.

Legal basis

By submitting information to us, you grant us permission to register and store information concerning the service used, as well as processing the specified personal data for the specified purposes. We process your personal data based on the need to fulfil our legal obligations, for our legitimate interests, and – if applicable- on the basis of your consent. In the majority of cases, our processing of personal data is conducted as a natural result of our care-taking of our relationship with your employer – or with you directly – meaning that such is done on the basis of our legitimate interest. Further information on the legal basis for company-specific processing purposes and local services, are provided by the relevant Sigma-company regarding information.

Storage and screening of personal data

The processing is conducted in accordance with current legislation, which also means that personal data is not retained for a longer period than necessary for the purpose of the processing. We will store your personal data as long as you remain an active and potential customer, supplier (including sub-consulting partner or jobseeker), or a cooperative partner to us. If our relationship has ceased and/or it is not considered reasonable to re-activate it, we shall delete your information. Such reviews take place periodically and usually at least once a year. Unless we specifically indicate otherwise in any relevant terms, or obtain your specific approval, the personal data associated with individuals who have been inactive in its relationship with us for a consecutive period of 3 years, will be deleted.

Some information may be for retained longer due to other legal requirements, for example the Swedish Accounting Act.
