When you are asked to provide us with Personal Data, e.g. in connection with investments in Aqilion or its project companies, or upon regeneration of a project company, you may choose not to do so. If you choose not to provide necessary Personal Data, this may lead to us not being able to fulfil our obligations or potential obligations towards you.

In situations where you act as a representative or contact person for a company or organisation which collaborates or has any type of business relation with Aqilion, we Process your Personal Data based on our legitimate business interest. For this Processing, we have conducted a balancing of interests where we have, inter alia, taken into account that the Processing does not include any sensitive Personal Data and that we have a clear commercial interest in being able to provide our services to the company or organisation you work for on or behalf of in an efficient manner.

Personal Data may also be used in other contacts with you, when we send you invites to events or other information. This Processing is based on our legitimate business interest of being able to provide you, as you have a business relationship with us, with relevant marketing information and other information. For this Processing we have conducted a balancing of interests where we have, inter alia, taken into account that the Processing does not include any sensitive Personal Data and that we have a clear commercial interest in being able to provide our services to the company or organisation you work for on or behalf of in an efficient manner.

Such a request shall be submitted to us in writing with a specification of which information you wish to receive. We will respond to your request without unnecessary delay.

Right to erasure

You have the right to request that Aqilion, without unnecessary delay, erases your Personal Data. Personal Data shall be erased in the following cases:

  • if the Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
  • if you withdraw your consent and the Processing was based solely on consent as the legal ground;
  • if Processing is carried out for purposes of direct marketing and you oppose your Personal Data being used for such purposes;

  • if your Personal Data has not been Processed in accordance with the Data Protection Rules; or
  • if erasure is necessary in order to comply with a legal obligation.

There may be obligations which hinder us from immediately erasing all your Personal Data. These obligations stem from applicable legislation regarding inter alia accounting. If certain Personal Data cannot be erased due to applicable legislation we will inform you of this as well as ensure that the Personal Data will be used solely for the purpose of complying with such legal obligations and not for any other purposes.

  • when we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of our Processing but you need it in order to establish, exert, or defend a legal claim.
  • If you have objected against the Processing of your Personal Data the use of your Personal Data may be restricted during the time of the investigation. Upon the restriction of your Personal Data, Aqilion will only store your Personal Data and for further Processing obtain your consent.

Right to object

You have a right to object to our Processing of your Personal Data if the Processing is based on our legitimate interest. Aqilion will in such a case ask you to specify which Processing you object to.

In connection with such transfer of your Personal Data, Aqilion takes organisational and technical measures in order to ensure that your Personal Data is handled as safe and secure as possible.

We will however do everything we can to ensure that your Personal Data will remain protected in the future.
