Camera surveillance is an important part of this together with other measures such as access control systems and other technical and organizational protection measures.

Purpose of the processing and legal basis
We process personal data to fulfill the legal requirements imposed on Bravida to provide a whistleblowing function and conduct investigations of reported cases. Personal data may be processed concerning the individual reporting a case, if they choose not to remain anonymous, those individuals mentioned in a report, or those in an administrative role responsible for investigating reported cases. The purpose also includes processing personal data when necessary to follow-up on cases. This means that we may need to process personal data to:

- Manage reported whistleblowing cases,

- Safeguard Bravida’s rights and obligations based on irregularites revealed in whistleblowing cases,

- Fulfill the legal requirements imposed on Bravida.

The legal basis for processing personal data in connection with whistleblower cases is a legal obligation pursuant to chapter 5, section 2 of the Swedish Act on Whistleblowing. The legal basis for processing personal data in connection with following up on whistleblower cases and other measures taken in response to a reported case is the fulfillment of a legal obligation or Bravida’s legitimate interest in safeguarding its rights in light of suspected or established irregularities.

Recipients of personal data  
Personal data may be disclosed to authorities in connection with a potential criminal investigation. Information may also be disclosed to other companies within the corporate group in connection with the investigation, follow-up, and remedial actions related to a whistleblower case.

Transfers to third countries
See section 3 below for third-country transfers.

Your personal data involved in a whistleblower case will be stored for two years from the conclusion of the case. Personal data used for administrative and authorization purposes will be retained for the duration of the authorization. When the storage period expires, all personal data will be deleted.

Material required by law enforcement authorities that we are obligated to disclose and/or store according to an official decision will be stored for as long as necessary to comply with such a decision.

Your rights
As a data subject, you have certain rights. The rights can be found in section 4 below.

  1. Transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA

We and our personal data processors store personal data on servers located within the EU/EEA. However, we use third-party cookies on our website. The use of third-party cookies may lead to your personal data being transferred to a third party located in a third country (e.g., the US). You have the possibility to limit the use of cookies yourself and you can find more information about this in our cookie policy, which you can find here

Even if the personal data is stored within the EU/EEA, the personal data may in some cases be transferred to a third country when for instance a contracted IT supplier needs to process the personal data outside the EU/EEA to provide its’ service (e.g., through a group company in the US). 

If personal data is transferred to third countries (including the US) we always ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure the secure processing of your personal data. Such appropriate safeguards may include:

  • that we ensure that the European Commission has decided that the country to which the personal data is transferred achieves an "adequate" level of protection that corresponds to the level of protection that the GDPR ensures.
  • that we enter into the European Commission's standard contractual clauses with the recipient of the personal data in a third country. When the transfer of personal data to a third country is supported with the standard contractual clauses, we assess whether there is legislation in the recipient country that affects the protection of your personal data. If required, we take technical and organizational measures so that the protection of your data remains during the transfer to the relevant country outside the EU/EEA. However, due to US security legislation, there is a certain risk that US authorities, to fight crimes or protect national security, may gain access to personal data transferred to the US despite our technical and organizational security measures taken.

You can contact us via gdpr@bravida.se and request a copy of the safeguards.

As a data subject you have certain rights. Those rights originate from the General Data Protection Regulation, and they are stated below. To exercise any of your rights please contact us, contact details can be found under section 1.2 of this Policy.

When you want to exercise any of your rights, we strive to replay to your request within a month from contacting us. The handling of your request may take up to three months depending on the volume of the request or its complexity. If so, we will notify you thereof. We will always reply to your request in writing.

Below the various rights that you may have when we process personal data about you are described.

Depending on what legal basis we support our processing on and for what purpose we process your personal data, there might be exceptions or limitations of your possibility of exercising your rights.

If the request is manifestly unreasonable or unfounded, especially if it is made recurrently, we will either charge a fine or refuse to meet the request. In such circumstances we will have to be able to prove that the request is manifestly unfounded or unreasonable.

We will also erase your personal data if you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based. In some cases, we will not have the possibility to erase your personal data. That depends on if the personal data either still is necessary to process for the purpose they were collected for, if our interest of continuing the processing outweighs your interest of getting them erased, or if we have a legal requirement of retaining them.
