GDPR -
data protection policy

1. Introduction

We are under an obligation to protect the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of our customers’, suppliers’, partners’ and employees’ data, including personal data. Protecting personal data is essential to us, and we are continuously working on ensuring compliance with applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

When Implement processes personal data in connection with delivering consultancy services, we consider ourselves a data processor, as we process personal data on behalf of our customers and in accordance with customer instructions. The customer and Implement enter into a data processing agreement containing instructions, terms and conditions for Implement’s processing of personal data.
This data protection policy contains information on Implement’s processing of personal data, when we are the data controller. More information on this may be found below.

2. Our processing activities

Below, you can read more on the categories of personal data that we process for which purposes and on which legal grounds.

2.1 Customer collaboration
We collect and process personal data in the context of collaboration with our customers. We only collect personal data that are necessary for the agreed purposes, and we ask our customers only to share personal data with us that are necessary for these purposes.

In general, we only process general – non-sensitive – personal data including name, address, telephone number and email address of customers and customers’ owners, as well as name, title, telephone number and email address of any contacts with the customer.

In addition, we collect data on our customers, as well as our customers’ managerial relations for the purposes of general customer contact and administration.
We process personal data for the purpose of being able to fulfil our agreement with our customer, including:

  • to carry out work assignments necessary for us to provide the agreed services to the customer
  • to register the time used and issue an invoice
  • to ensure quality and supervise the progress of projects

In addition, processing is necessary in order for Implement to pursue a legitimate interest in administering, managing and developing our business and services, including:

  • strengthening our relationship with customers
  • developing our business and services (e.g. identifying customer needs and improvements in service delivery)
  • managing operations and maintenance of IT systems that are provided for or used as part of servicing the customer, as well as hosting systems
  • administering and managing our website, systems and applications
  • conducting statistical processing and business development.

2.2 Suppliers and partners
We collect and process personal data on our suppliers and partners, including personal data on their employees.

We process data for contract management and in order to receive goods and services.

2.3 Visitors at our offices
We collect and process personal data on visitors, including customers and other guests (Outlook calendar information).

In the areas where we use video surveillance, we inform about such surveillance in accordance with the Danish TV Surveillance Act (Section 3(1)). All recordings are stored securely and are only viewed if there are reasonable grounds for doing so, e.g. in case of an incident, and in such case only by selected persons. The recordings are automatically overwritten after 5 days, unless a problem is identified which requires investigation.

2.4 Visitors to Implement Consulting Group’s websites
We process personal data if a registration to an event or newsletter is submitted via Implement’s website. Only the data (name, company name, job title, email address and telephone number) that Implement needs in order to give the participants/subscribers the best possible experience in connection with their interaction with Implement are required.

The data are stored on an internal server behind Implement’s firewall and are only accessible to persons who have a work-related need to access these data. The data are stored as long as they are commercially relevant to Implement or until the data subject requests a deletion of the data.

We use your personal data in order to ensure good service and quality in our services. This occurs in accordance with applicable legislation.

In order to ensure that we only process personal data that are necessary for registration to courses, we have prepared data security work procedures that ensure the protection of your data.

Data security is a high priority at Implement. We work seriously and professionally with information security, and we base our work on internationally recognised security standards. We have implemented security measures to ensure data protection of customer data, personal data and other confidential data. We conduct regular internal follow-ups in relation to the adequacy and compliance of policies and measures.

4. Source

Implement collects personal data directly from you and/or third parties, such as our customers, or from public authorities.

5. Disclosing personal data

We only disclose personal data when there are legal grounds for doing so.

5.1 Other third parties who provide goods or services
We occasionally use other third parties, such as subcontractors, in connection with provision of our services. Such third parties may be granted access to personal data in order for them to be able to provide the agreed service. Implement enters into data protection agreements that are necessary in order to ensure that security is in place to protect data and comply with our data protection obligations.

Implement also uses sub data processors as part of our day-to-day IT operations. This means that personal data are processed by Implement’s sub data processors. These sub data processors are located within the EU. There are data processing agreements in place between Implement and all sub data processors to ensure that all processing takes place in accordance with Implement’s instructions and is subject to the necessary security requirements.

5.2 Public authorities or third parties, as required by and in accordance with applicable legislation or regulations
As part of our work, it may be necessary to share personal data with public authorities etc. This will only occur if and to the extent required by applicable legislation and will always take place within the framework of the applicable personal data legislation

6. Disclosing and deleting personal data

Personal data are stored in accordance with appropriate technical and organisational measures that ensure an adequate level of security. In general, we delete personal data five years after the completion of a project, unless there are specific circumstances that make it relevant to continue to store the personal data. Data on customers are only stored as long as a customer relationship exists. Customer data will be deleted three years after completion of the latest project for the customer.
