We will collect and process personal data through our service providers, such as our system providers, administration service providers, or other service providers who process personal data on our behalf and in accordance with our specific instructions, pursuant to a data processing agreement and the legal basis for our data processing. With such processing, the personal data will be disclosed to the third-party providers.
Otherwise, we do not disclose your personal data to third parties unless such disclosure is necessary for the performance of our obligations towards you in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, for compliance with our legal obligations under applicable law in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, or if we have obtained your consent to such disclosure in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

When your personal data is disclosed to a third party located within the EU/EEA, your personal data will be protected under the GDPR and the applicable national regulation.
4. TRANSFERS TO THIRD COUNTRIES
In certain cases, we may transfer personal data to service providers located in third countries. Even though the location of our data processing activities and hosting is placed in the EU, our IT systems providers are or have group companies located in the United States or other third countries and, therefore, we have established appropriate safeguards to protect your data subject rights. The providers must either have signed up and self-certified under the voluntary EU-US Data Privacy Framework and are, thereby, operating under the adequacy decision issued by the European Commission, or the providers musth have committed to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and adopted necessary additional measures.
5. FOR HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the specific purpose for which the personal data was collected. Under our retention policies and schedules for deletion of data, we make an assessment to determine when we no longer need to retain your personal data, at which point the data will be deleted.
For business partners and suppliers, we will retain your personal data for the duration of the contractual relationship, or as long as you are a business contact. Thereafter, we will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to serve a legitimate purpose as stated in section 2.
For persons contacting us, we will for a reasonable period keep your contact data, the inquiry and our response, depending on the qualification of your inquiry.
We will continue to store and process your personal data to comply with applicable laws including the Danish bookkeeping and accounting regulations which requires a storage period of 5 years as of the end of a fiscal year.
In certain cases, we may retain your personal data for a longer period in order to protect our legitimate interests, including to establish or defend legal claims. In such cases, we will have conducted a balancing test between our legitimate interest in establishing, exercising, or defending a legal claim and your interest in having your personal data deleted or your fundamental rights and freedoms, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
6. SECURITY MEASURES FOR PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
In processing your personal data, 55 North will apply the data protection principles of lawful and transparent processing of personal data; we apply procedures for data minimization and storage limitation, and we maintain the integrity and accountability required for the fairness of the processing.
