Purpose and Legal Basis for the Respective Processing

Processing complies with current legislation and means that personal data is not retained for a longer period than is necessary with regard to the purpose of the processing.

KRAV-certified Companies

If you sign a KRAV-certification agreement with a certification body, you provide your data to our customer portal (“Mitt KRAV”) directly or via the certification body.

The criteria for determining the retainment period are based on the agreement you have entered into, our legal obligations, and our interest in communicating with you, including after the termination of the agreement. KRAV saves the personal data as supported by the Swedish Accounting Act.

KRAV together with your chosen certification body is the recipient and personal data controller.

Personal data may also be disclosed if it is necessary to (a) comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or (b) request from the executive authority.

During preparation of financial annual reports, our auditors can access the personal data.
