1. Collection of personal data

We always inform you before we collect your personal data. 

Please note that some personal data is necessary to collect for you to use the functions of the website. Each of the relevant formulas will indicate whether it is mandatory or optional for you to provide the personal data. If providing the personal data is mandatory, the relevant field will be marked with a star (*).
If you decide not to provide the personal data in question, you may not be able to use the function. For instance, you must provide your contact information in order for us to reply to a request from you. 

If you provide personal data on other persons than yourself, we recommend that you collect consent to provide us with the personal data from the relevant persons. 

2. Use of personal data, purpose and legal basis 

The processing of your personal data will in some cases be necessary for the performance of a contract entered into between Blue Water Foundation and you. The processing may also be necessary to comply with requests from you.

In certain circumstances and according to legislation, it may be necessary to disclose data to public authorities. We may also disclose your personal data to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

In the event of reorganisation or total or partial sale of the business, disclosure, if any, will in such connection take place in accordance with the legislation governing such processing of personal data at the time in question.

If your personal data are transferred to data processors or data controllers located in countries outside the EU/EEA, and which do not have a sufficient level of security, such transfer will be protected by EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or your consent.

3. Retention

The Blue Water Foundation will delete your personal data when we no longer need your personal data to fulfil the abovementioned purposes. However, we may process your personal data for longer in an anonymised form or if we are obliged or entitled to do so pursuant to the legislation.

4. Consent

When you use our website, we sometimes collect and process your personal data based on your consent. 

You can withdraw your consent by contacting mail@bluewaterfoundation.com.

If you withdraw your consent, we will stop the processing of your personal data, unless we are entitled or obliged to continue the processing or storage of your personal data on another legal basis, e.g. pursuant to legislation.

Withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal. 

If you withdraw your consent, you may not be able to use the functions, offered on our website, in full. 

5. Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures to ensure an adequate security level. 
Accordingly, we use our best efforts to ensure the quality and integrity of your personal data.

6. Your rights

You have a right of access to the personal data, which we process and store about you, subject to certain statutory exceptions.

Furthermore, you have the right to object to the collection and further processing of your personal data. Moreover, you have the right to rectification of your personal data or to require us to restrict the processing of your personal data.

If you so request, we will erase the personal data, which we have registered on you without undue delay, unless we may continue the processing on another legal basis, e.g. if the processing is necessary to defend a legal claim or to comply with a request from you.

Under certain circumstances, you may also request that we provide you with an overview of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and request us to transmit such data to another data controller.

If you wish to exercise your rights as described above, please contact us (see contact information section 9 below).

In connection with requests regarding your rights, we kindly ask you to provide us with sufficient information (including name and email address) in order for us to handle your request, and to identify you. We will reply to your request as soon as possible and no later than within one month.

If you disagree with how we process your personal data or the purposes for which we process your personal data, you may either contact us, take legal actions at the ordinary courts or you may lodge a complaint with: gdpr@bws.dk.

You may also file a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency, Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby, tel. no. +45 3319 3200, e-mail dt@datatilsynet.dk.
