‍Where is your Personal Data processed

Storage and other processing of your E-letters, payments, receipts, vouchers and documents only takes place. Storage and other processing of the other personal data that you as a user provide to us, or that is created when you use the company’s Services, only takes place.

But in some cases, Barid has chosen to process your Personal Data using IT tools and services that store and process Users' Personal Data. In all cases where we have not been able to rule out a risk that personal data may be disclosed to countries outside Sweden and the United Arab Emirates, we have ensured that the relevant country outside the UAE has what is known as an adequate level of protection. We have also analyzed which technical and organizational safeguards are appropriate to implement to protect the personal data in the event of disclosure.Exactly which protective measures have been implemented depends on what has been technically possible and considered sufficiently effective for the respective service.

Barid processes personal data both as a controller and as a processor of personal data on behalf of others.

The sections below describe what applies when Barid processes users’ personal data as a data controller. However, there are situations where Barid processes users’ personal data without being a controller. The main examples are as follows:

• Senders will verify whether you can receive E-letters by providing Barid with the contact and identification information of the recipients to whom the Sender is looking to send E-letters. When Barid verifies this information against its user database, the Sender is the controller for the processing. Barid is the data processor of the Sender. If you would like to know how your personal data will be processed during the verification, we refer you to the Sender responsible for the E-letter at hand.
• When Barid transmits E-letters to you, the data controller for the processing is the Sender, and Barid is the data processor of the Sender. If you would like to know how your personal data is processed in the transmission process, we refer you to the Sender responsible for the E-letter at hand.

• When you pay an invoice through our service, the Sender is the data controller for the processing, and Barid is the data processor for the Sender.
• When an E-letter reaches a Business User's mailbox at Barid, the responsibility as data controller for the personal data passes from the Sender to the Business User. Barid then acts as a processor to the Business User.

‍Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

‍Law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, the company may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

‍Other legal requirements

‍The company may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation
• Protect and defend the rights or property of the company.
• Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the service.
• Protect the personal safety of users of the service or the public.
• Protect against legal liability.
