Inizio’s Privacy Policy
General Information about processing personal data
At Inizio we take personal integrity very seriously and protect your personal data. We comply with legislation that is applicable at any given time with the aim of protecting you as a private individual.
Our objective is that you should feel secure that your personal integrity is respected and that your personal data is processed correctly. We take responsibility that personal data that is processed by Inizio is used solely for the intended purposes and protected against unauthorised access. All processing of personal data within Inizio takes place in accordance with applicable personal data legislation. From 25 May 2018, the general data protection regulation (GDPR) applies within the EU/EES.
Please read this integrity policy carefully in order to understand how and for which purposes we process your personal data. In providing your personal data to us and approving applicable conditions, you consent to your personal data being processed in accordance with that stated in the specific terms and conditions for the respective service and this integrity policy. If the law requires more specific consent from you, we will naturally ask for it.
Amendments in this integrity policy are notified in that the new terms and conditions are published on Inizio’s websites and we therefore recommend that you regularly appraise yourself of them. If you add personal data about other individuals, you are also responsible that Inizio processes the personal data in accordance with applicable integrity conditions.
What is personal data and processing of personal data?
”Personal data” refers to all information that can be directly or indirectly linked together with other information about a currently living natural person. It means that widely divergent information such as name and contact details, IP-addresses, survey responses, choices made and behaviour comprise personal data.
Processing of personal data is everything that takes place with personal data. Every measure that is taken with personal data constitutes processing, regardless of whether or not it is compiled automatically, such as collection, registration, organisation, structuring, storage, processing or change, production, reading, use, issue through transfer, dissemination or supply by other means, adjustment or compilation, limitation, deletion or destruction.

4, a. Processing of personal data for children
Underage refers to persons under 16 years old, in Sweden.
Inizio’s surveys and digital channels are not targeted at children and consequently Inizio does not consciously collect personal data about children. If you are guardian and become aware that your child has provided personal data to Inizio, we ask you to contact us at the addresses indicated in item 1 so that you can exercise your rights with respect to, for example, correction or removal.

Inizio can engage external collaborative partners (suppliers) to perform tasks on Inizio’s behalf, e.g. to provide IT-services, payment solutions or help with marketing, analyses or statistics. The execution of these services may mean that Inizio’s collaborative partners, both within the EU/EES and outside the EU/EES, have access to your personal data. Companies which process personal data on Inizio’s behalf always sign a contract with Inizio to ensure there is a high level of protection for your personal data at our collaborative partners too. In relation to collaborative partners outside the EU/EES, specific precautionary measures are instituted, for example, contracts which include standard clauses for data transfer which have been adopted by the European Commission and which are available on the European Commission’s website.
Inizio may provide personal data to third parties, for example, the police or another authority, if it concerns investigation of crime or if we are otherwise legally obliged to provide such data based on an official decision.
