Employee Privacy Policy

Personal Data Regulation (GDPR) – for Airtame ApS and Airtame Inc (Airtame)

The Personal Data Regulation from the EU, which took effect from May 2018, has led to stricter requirements for personal data security. The regulation is called the General Data Protection Regulation and is abbreviated GDPR.

Airtame’s employee Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains what types of personal information we may collect about our employees and how it may be used.

Airtame is a global company with its headquarters in Denmark with a subsidiary in the US. This means that personal information may be used, processed, and transferred to the United States and other countries or territories and those countries or territories may not offer the same level of data protection as the country where you reside, including the European Economic Area. However, Airtame will ensure that appropriate or suitable safeguards are in place to protect your personal information and that transfer of your personal information complies with applicable data protection laws. Where required by applicable data protection laws, Airtame has ensured that service providers (including other Airtame affiliates) sign standard contractual clauses as approved by the European Commission or other supervisory authority with jurisdiction over the relevant Airtame data exporter. (Which typically will be your employer)

Data controller

In the sense of personal legislation, Airtame is data responsible. Any inquiry regarding employee data can be sent to data@airtame.com.

Purpose

The HR / finance department collects personal data from each individual employee.

We collect and process personal information in order to perform our HR and administrative activities, including job placement, temporary services, payroll, recruitment and selection, personal development and employability, payroll administration, and personnel management etc.

Examples of personal information include but are not limited to:

The purpose of the collection and processing is employer’s administration. The information comes from the employee himself, from employee interviews, and from the HR / finance department.

Treatment and legal basis

Personal data in connection with personnel administration is processed in accordance with the Danish Data Protection Agency’s guidelines. Consent is not required for the processing of this information as long as the processing is necessary for the purpose. However, when using employee photos for external use, separate consent from the employee is required and this consent can be revoked at any time.

Recipients of personal information

Information may be transferred to external partners who process the information on our behalf. We use external partners for, among other things, receiving and storing applications and CVs, personnel and payroll administration as well as measuring employee satisfaction. These companies are data processors and under our instruction and process data for which we are the data controller. The data processors may not use the information for any purpose other than fulfilling the agreement with us, and are subject to confidentiality about this. We have entered into written data processor agreements with all data processors.

Storage of and access to data

Relevant data for documentation for public authorities are stored for 5 years. Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, Airtame endeavors to retain your personal information only for as long as it believes is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the personal information was collected (including, for the purpose of meeting any legal, accounting or other reporting requirements or obligations). We may, instead of destroying or erasing your personal information, make it anonymous such that it cannot be associated with or tracked back to you.

Security

Airtame will secure and protect your personal information against loss or illegal use. We do this on the basis of physical, administrative, organizational and technical security measures.

Airtame protects your personal information and has adopted internal rules on information security, which contain instructions and measures that protect your personal information against unauthorized publication and against unauthorized access or knowledge of it.

We have established procedures for allocating access rights to those of our employees who process personal data. We control their actual access through logging and monitoring of the systems where required.

In the event of a security breach that results in a high risk for you of discrimination, ID theft, financial loss, loss of reputation or other significant inconvenience, Airtame will notify you of the security breach as soon as possible.

Airtame’s safety procedures are continuously revised on the basis of the latest technological developments.

Right to insight and correction

Under the Data Protection Act, you have a number of rights.
The rights are as follows:

However, access may be restricted for the sake of other persons’ privacy protection, to trade secrets and intellectual property rights.

By written request to Airtame, you can either receive a printout of your personal information, have your personal information updated, make objections or request that your personal information be deleted. It just requires you to be able to identify yourself.

The request must be signed by you and include your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address.

You can also contact Airtame if you believe that your personal data is being processed in violation of the law or other legal obligations.
The request is sent by e-mail to data@airtame.com.

Airtame will within 1 month of receipt of your request for a printout forward this to your e-mail address. Once information has been provided, the employee can request similar information at the earliest after 6 months.

In the event of requests for corrections and / or deletion of your personal data, the Airtame will check whether the conditions have been met, and if so, implement changes or deletion as soon as possible.

Airtame may reject requests that are either unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical intervention (for example, to develop a new system or change an existing practice significantly), affect the protection of others’ personal information, or in situations where the desired action must be considered extremely complicated (for example, requests for information that exist exclusively as backups).
