The personal data collected relates to identification, contact information and case-related background information provided by our business contacts, their representatives or their counterparts.

How is the personal data processed?
Njord processes only personal data for the purposes for which it was collected as described above, and personal data is accessible only to authorised employees who have a position that requires them to process personal data in order to carry out their work. Personal data is not retained longer than necessary for the specific purpose. Njord has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data secure. We ensure that only authorised persons have access to your personal data. We also have an internal policy for secure processing of personal data.
Where is the personal data processed?
Njord’s intention is for all personal data to be processed within the EU/EEA. It may however happen that some suppliers process personal data outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, we ensure that the data is protected and that safeguards are in place through agreements which impose the same requirements as regulations within the EU.
Is personal data transmitted to third parties?
We will not provide personal data to third parties unless this is required to be done under applicable laws, we are preparing for legal proceedings or defending claims, or are performing investment advisory services. Your personal data may however be transmitted to and processed by external suppliers who provide services to Njord, but only to the extent necessary to enable these suppliers to perform the services Njord requests. Only personal data necessary to fulfil the above purposes will be provided to these external companies. All external suppliers must comply with our instructions and applicable data processing agreements and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data.
