For certain purposes, we process your personal data and rely on our legitimate interest as the legal basis for the processing. In assessing the legal basis, we rely on a balancing of interests test by which we have determined that our legitimate interests of the processing override your interest and your fundamental right not to have your personal data processed. We have stated our legitimate interest in the tables above. Please contact us if you want to read more about how this test has been performed. Our contact details can be found in section 6.

  1. With whom do we share your personal data? 

If we process your personal data pursuant to section 1, some or all of such personal data may be shared with certain specific recipients. When we share your personal data, we ensure that the recipient processes them in accordance with this privacy notice, by, e.g. entering into Data Transfer Agreements or Personal Data Processing Agreements with the recipients. The agreements ensure that your data are processed in accordance with the GDPR and this privacy policy. We would like to emphasize that we do not sell your personal data to any third party.

  1. Categories of recipients with whom we may share your personal data
    1. Group companies

Recipients: Companies within the Barry Callebaut group, within the EU/EEA.

Purpose and legal basis: This may be required for us to provide our services to you. We have a legitimate interest of being able to provide these services. If the sharing of your personal data is necessary to fulfil that interest, and that interest overrides your right not to have your data processed, the sharing may be carried out on the legal basis of legitimate interest.

  1. Suppliers and subcontractors

Recipients: We have agreements with other companies that perform certain services on our behalf. These services include, e.g. deliveries and distribution of goods. These companies gain access to your personal data to the extent necessary for them to fulfill their assignment, but they may not use or share the data for other purposes. Our suppliers and subcontractors process your personal data within the EU/EEA.

Purpose and legal basis: We sometimes need to access the services of other companies. In such cases, we have a legitimate interest of being able to access these. If the sharing of your personal data is necessary to fulfill that interest, and that interest overrides your right not to have your data processed, sharing may take place on the legal basis of legitimate interest. However, these companies may not process or use your personal for any other purposes than to perform the services pursuant to the agreement. 

  1. Authorities

Recipients: The Swedish Police Authority, the Swedish Enforcement Authority or other authorities or courts of law. 

Purpose and legal basis: By law, we are obliged to share personal data with certain authorities, for example under the Act on Measures against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (Sw. lagen om åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism). Sharing may also occur in some cases when you have requested us to do so. Thus, sharing to authorities can be carried out on the legal basis of compliance with legal obligations or consent.

  1. Third party in corporate transaction

Recipients: If we, or a significant part of our business, were to be sold to or integrated with a third party, your personal data may be passed on to the new owner of the business. Thereafter, the new owner of the business will be the data controller of your personal data. 

Purpose and legal basis: We may have a legitimate interest in selling our business to third parties or integrating our business with the business of third parties. Your personal data may therefore be shared with such third parties on the basis of our legitimate interest.

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. However, this right is not absolute. Certain conditions must be at hand in order for us to erase your data.

If you want to read more about the right to erasure – please see here

  1. Right to object

You always have the right to object to our processing if the legal basis for the processing (this is stated in the various processing operations above in section 1) is that it is necessary for purposes relating to our legitimate intertest.

If you object, we do not have the right to process the data anymore, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or if it is needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If we consider that we have such legitimate grounds, or if the data are needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, we will notify you of this, and the reasons for such assessment.

You can also object to your personal data being processed for marketing purposes (including profiling if this is included as part of this). If you do so, we will cease the processing for these purposes. 

If you want to read more about the right to object – please see here

  1. Right to restriction

You can request that the processing of your personal data should be restricted, for example if you do not think that the information we have about you is correct or if you believe that the processing is unlawful. Such request can also be made during the time we investigate whether our legitimate interests override your interest of privacy when you object to the processing (see more about this under section 4.5 above).

 If you want to read more about the right to restriction – please see here

  1. Right to transmit personal data (data portability) 

You have the right to receive your personal data, that you have provided to us (in case the legal basis for our processing is consent or performance of a contract), in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this presupposes that the processing takes place by automated means (i.e. not in physical form on paper). If technically possible, and you wish to do so, we may also transmit such personal data to another data controller.

If you want to read more about the right to transmit personal data (data portability) – please see here.

  1.  Right to withdraw your consent 

You can withdraw the whole or part of the consent you have given at any time, with effect as from the withdrawal (i.e. the processing of personal data that we have carried out before the withdrawal will not be affected). This can be done by contacting us via the contact details in section 6. In the case of direct marketing via e-mail, a withdrawal can be carried out through a link attached in each such e-mail.

  1. Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority 

You can lodge a complaint to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (or with another supervisory authority) if you believe that our processing of your personal data is not in accordance with applicable legislation.
