Alfa Laval respects your privacy and protects the personal data we process about you. The purpose of this policy is to inform you of the types of personal data we collect when you register a profile on the website, and the steps we take to protect and safeguard your personal data. This policy and its principles apply to personal identifiable information that we ask for and you provide. By this we mean information that directly or indirectly identifies you, such as name, physical address, e-mail address, or other contact details.

We aim to process personal data that is adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose for which it has been collected. We believe in being transparent about the types of personal data we process and why we collect your data. We only collect and process personal data where we have lawful grounds to do so, and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

On request, Alfa Laval will provide you with further information regarding the processing and protection of your personal data when visiting Alfa Laval’s webshop and/or Alfa Laval’s websites that enable customers and business partners to connect. Please see the ”What are your rights” section below for more information about your rights.

If you are a customer that have specifically agreed to share information with Alfa Laval business partners in connection with quotes, your name and contact information can be viewed globally by the Alfa Laval business partners that are connected to one of the websites. The information may be used by such Alfa Laval business partners to (i) contact you regarding quotes or questions submitted by you to the business partner, and (ii) offer maintenance and other services in relation to your Alfa Laval products.

We will share your personal data with the external supplier of the website services for the purpose of making them available to you.

If necessary to achieve the purposes set out above, your personal data may be transferred to countries outside of the EU/EEA where the Alfa Laval business partners or subsidiaries are located. For transfer of your information outside of the EU/EEA, we will ensure compliance with any privacy laws applicable to such personal data.

For how long is your personal data stored?

Your personal data will be stored for as long as you have a profile registered and will be deleted shortly after the de-registration of your profile or after completion of the latest purchase order or communication regarding a quote or question by you, or for such longer period of time as required to administrate any purchase orders and resulting agreements or as required by applicable laws (such as for book keeping purposes). You may however request that we delete your personal data earlier (see your rights below).
