How we collect personal data

Data collection from visitors to Our Site

Data that we collect from you when you visit Our Site falls into two categories.

Registration is not required for you to use Our Site. If you are an unregistered visitor, meaning that you have not voluntarily submitted any personal data to us or given your consent to receive communications from us, we do not collect any personal data about you when you visit Our Site. As an unregistered visitor, only anonymous log data is collected as described below (See section: “Information that we collect automatically”). On the other hand, if you provide us with your personal data, for example by contacting us via the Site or submitting it via one of our forms, we collect your personal data as described under the section: “Information that you provide voluntarily”. For information about how we process and store your personal data, see section “How we process and store your personal data” below.

How we process and store your personal data

Processing and storing of personal data for marketing purposes

Upon consent, Ossiform^® processes personal data relating to our business contacts, whether these data are obtained by mail/website or on conferences, for purposes of marketing Ossiform^®’s products, services and brand. If you register on Our Site or request us to send any product information or other marketing material to you, your personal data will be processed and stored in our CRM (client relationship management) system. Such contacts that have given their consent to receive communication from Ossiform^® may be sent newsletters, other marketing materials, invitations to events, webinars, surveys etc. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

The following categories of personal data and user activities may be processed for marketing purposes:

Name, job title, email address, phone and fax numbers.
Name of the employer or organization that the individual is associated with.
User preferences (such as areas of topics selected for newsletters etc.).
Opening of emails, interactions with the content of emails, bounces and opt-outs (unsubscriptions), visited sites on Our Site, registration for events, seminars or webinars, attendance or no show at events, seminars or webinars.

Legal grounds for processing personal data for marketing purposes are:

Your prior consent where this is legally required (e.g. Denmark and Norway), but also when you have provided your consent in other cases.
In all other cases, we will apply Ossiform’s legitimate interest to provide information about Ossiform and its services to our business contacts in their professional capacity (B2B) and to send invitations to events etc. which we believe are in their professional interest.

All recipients of marketing via electronic communication are offered the possibility to opt out (unsubscribe) from receiving further marketing from Ossiform. If a recipient has opted out from receiving future Ossiform^® marketing, we will cease processing the personal data for marketing purposes, however the basic contact details of an individual who has opted out will remain on our opt-out list until the deadline for erasure. Whether a registered visitor has unsubscribed or not, personal data stored in Ossiform^®’s CRM will be deleted if there has been no communication between the parties within a period of one year.

Processing and storing of personal data from customers

When you engage us to provide you with professional services, we collect and use personal data when we have a valid business reason to do so in connection with those services.

In the context of providing professional services to customers, Ossiform^® also processes personal data of individuals who are not directly our customers (for example, employees, clients of our customers, i.e. patients).

The majority of the personal data we collect and use to provide our services is supplied voluntarily by our customers. Because of this, if you are a customer of Ossiform^®, then it will generally be known to you what personal data we collect and use. This information can include:

Basic information, such as your name, the company you work for and your position.
Contact information, such as your email address and telephone numbers
Financial information, such as payment-related information
Any other personal data relating to you or other third parties which the customer/you provide to us for the purpose of receiving our services

Basic information, such as your name and address.
Product ID and name, including serial number on the product you have received

We use this information for the following purposes, subject to applicable law:

To provide services to our customers
To administer our relationship and maintain contractual relations
For accounting and tax purposes
For marketing and business development (only contact information)
To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
To establish, exercise or defend legal rights
For historical and statistical purposes

Processing and storing of personal data from applicants

We use your personal data to match your skills, experience and education with specific roles offered by Ossiform^® or potential positions regarding unsolicited applications and internships. This information is passed to the relevant hiring managers and persons involved in the recruitment process to decide whether to invite you for an interview. Ossiform^® will collect further information if you are invited to the interview (or equivalent) stage and onward. Such information includes interview notes, references, feedback and offer details.

Information about job applicants for advertised positions who are not offered a position is deleted no later than 6 months after the recruitment process is finalized, unless otherwise stated by the applicant or consent for longer storage has been obtained.

Unsolicited job applications and applications for internships who are not offered a position are also deleted no later than 6 months from the date of application, unless otherwise stated by the applicant or consent for longer storage has been obtained.

Security

Ossiform^® protects the confidentiality and security of information it obtains in the course of its business. Access to such information is limited, and policies and procedures are in place that are designed to safeguard the information from loss, misuse, and improper disclosure.

We maintain the accuracy and completeness of the personal data we hold. It is important that you inform us of any updates to your contact details or other personal data so that we have the most up-to-date information about you. Please contact the person you usually deal with at Ossiform^®.

Retention

Our policy is to retain personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in the section “Purposes for which we process personal data.” Note that retention periods vary and are set in accordance with regulatory and professional retention requirements.
