Maintaining your trust for Favro AB and our affiliates (“Favro”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is our top priority. This document, Favro’s Privacy Policy, explains how we process your personal information when you, for example, visit our homepage, use our software services or ask us for help through support requests. Personal information is information that can be traced back directly or indirectly to and identifies you as an individual, such as your name, address, email, physical location, or phone number (“Personal Information”).
We process your Personal Information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the GDPR, as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of Section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “UK GDPR”), including its respective amendments, and all other legal acts applicable to Favro.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and we reserve the right to do so. Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on our website so please revisit it periodically.
If you have any concern about providing information to us or having such information used in any manner permitted in this Privacy Policy, you should not provide us with any Personal Information and you should not visit our website or use our services.
Favro AB is the data controller of the information monitored, collected, used, stored or otherwise processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

For information concerning processing of Personal Information for which Favro is the data processor, please see Favro’s Data Processing Addendum.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy does not concern any processing of Personal Information that we may conduct as a data processor as a result of your and your organization’s use of our services.

If we have collected information, which consists of both Personal and Non-Personal (“Combined Information”), we will treat the Combined Information as Personal Information.
We will handle your Personal Information in order to comply with the contractual obligations we have under the agreement with you. We may also rely on our legitimate interest to handle your Personal Information (e.g. when necessary for internal administrative purposes, service improvement or to maintain a high level of security) or as required by law.

The main purpose of processing your Personal Information is to provide you with information, products, and/or services that you request from us or to carry out our obligations arising from any agreements entered into between us.
We do not rent, share or sell Personal Information about you to a third party without your prior consent, unless it is reasonably necessary in order to: (1) comply with a legal requirement or process, including, but not limited to, civil and criminal subpoenas, court orders or other disclosures in accordance with mandatory law; (2) enforce this Privacy Policy or any agreement you and Favro have entered into; (3) respond to claims of a violation of the rights of third parties; (4) respond to customer service inquiries; (5) protect the rights, property, or safety of Favro, our customers, or the public; (6) facilitate the merger or sale of any of our business or assets, in which case we may disclose your Personal Information to the prospective buyer of such business or asset; (7) work with trusted partners, agents and service providers who work on behalf of or with Favro under confidentiality and data processing agreements (see 4.2 below).

We collaborate with third parties, agents and service providers to be able to offer our services and fulfill our obligations to our customers. For example, we may share billing information with our service providers for the purposes of processing invoices, or share data with a security consultant to help us get better at preventing unauthorized access, or with an email vendor to send messages on our behalf. We may also share data with hosting providers, payment processors, marketing vendors, and other consultants who work on our behalf and under contractual promises of confidentiality.
The information we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, various locations depending on where our company’s systems are hosted. The data may be processed by employees who work for us or by our suppliers who may be situated in a country outside of EU/EEA or UK, as applicable. If there is no decision from the competent authority that the country which the personal data will be transferred to provides adequate data protection legislation to ensure the safety of the personal data, we will use relevant safeguards to ensure the safety of the personal data. If you want to know more about the safeguards we use, please contact us for more information. You will find our contact information in section 6 below.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws and this Privacy Policy.
We maintain information about you for as long as we provide services to you, and as long as it is required for us to perform any related business activities. After your information is no longer necessary for our business purposes, we will destroy the information unless we have agreed with you that we should keep the information, or a court or administrative order is made to preserve the information, or if it is otherwise stipulated by law.
We will take all reasonable technical and organization actions to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. If a reportable security breach should occur, which relates to your Personal Information, we will inform you of this as soon as practicable.
We do not respond to Do Not Track requests.
