Test environment

We aim to offer secure, stable and user-friendly IT systems that contain correct data.  We test and develop our IT solutions in a separate test environment.  We strive for anonymisation or pseudonymisation, but in some cases it may be necessary for us to use real personal information for testing purposes.  We ensure satisfactory information security and real personal information is deleted or anonymised after testing.

Personal data is stored for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose of its collection or statutory processing requirements.  Personal information is stored in connection with identification checks and money laundering checks, both of which are stored for a period of 5 years after the customer relationship has ended (in line with current money laundering regulations).  Personal information stored in connection with product and service providers is stored as long as the person is affiliated with the product or service provider.

We will delete your personal information if you request it, unless we have a legal or statutory obligation to store / process your personal information.

Do others have access to your personal information?

Personal information may be made available to those third parties who assist us with the operation of our IT systems.  When we give third parties access to personal data in this way, we make use of data processor agreements, to ensure that the third parties company with our requirements for the processing of personal data in line with the relevant laws. 

Furthermore, we share your personal information with public authorities as necessary to fulfil our legal obligations.
