This Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) explains how we ensure that your personal data is handled in compliance with applicable legislation and it applies to our processing of personal data, in the capacity of data controller, relating to our customers and users of our services, visitors to our websites, and to other business contacts. We use your personal data to be able to operate our business and meet our obligations and responsibilities in relation to applicable legislation and good industry practice.
If you are a user of our services, one of the following user categories applies to you:
- a user that signed up for our services independently in our online purchasing portal or applied for our free services including the free services we offer within the Civic Tier ("Self-Serve User”); or
- a user invited to use a service by a company or other entity which is a customer of ours (“User of Company Subscriber”), for example, if you are invited to use the services by your employer.
- you applied for a job at Sana, filled in a survey or otherwise communicate with Sana for example through email or social media platforms (“User of Communication Services”)
Please note that some of our processing of personal data differs depending on what User category applies to you, which is why we ensure to always state in our Privacy Notice if the processing only applies for a particular group of users.
We only use your personal data for the purposes specified in this Privacy Notice and not in any manner that is incompatible with those purposes.

Sana’s role when processing your data
If you are a User of a Company Subscriber, we process your personal data in the capacity of data processor or service provider, when providing our services to our customer that is a company subscriber (i.e., the entity that invited you to use the service, for example, your employer). In relation to such processing, the company subscriber is data controller or business and hence responsible for providing information to you about its processing of personal data and addressing your rights as a data subject. We will endeavor to provide assistance to our customers to address any concerns you may have in accordance with the terms of our contract with such customer. Additionally, for any deidentified data that we collect from you on behalf of our customer or receive directly from a customer in our role as a data processor or service provider, we commit to processing that deidentified data only in a deidentified fashion and will not attempt to re-identify personal data.
Sana is the data controller for the processing of your personal data other than when we act as a processor or service provider on behalf of a customer that is a company subscriber, as described above. Sana is responsible for ensuring that the processing is carried out in accordance with applicable legislation. If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you will find our contact details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

In the capacity of data controller, we are responsible for ensuring that your personal data is processed in compliance with applicable laws and that you can exercise your rights.

However, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge an administrative fee for providing the information or taking the action requested or refuse to act on your request altogether.
-
Your rights to access, rectification, erasure, and restriction
As a data subject you have the following rights:
Access to your personal data. This means that you have the right to request access to the personal data that we hold about you. You also have the right to be provided, at no cost, a copy of the personal data about you that we are processing. We have the right to charge a reasonable administration fee if you request further copies. If you make a request in electronic form, e.g. via email, we will provide you with the information in a commonly used electronic format.
Rectification of your personal data. At your request or on our own initiative, we will correct, anonymize, delete or complement data that is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. You also have the right to complete any incomplete personal data if something relevant is missing.
Erasure of your personal data. You have the right to request that we delete your personal data if there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing the data. Personal data should therefore be erased if:
- it is no longer needed for the purpose for which we collected it;
- we process your personal data based on the consent provided by you and you withdraw your consent;
- you object to us processing your data based on a legitimate interest assessment and we have no compelling interest that overrides your interests and rights;
- we have processed the personal data unlawfully;
- or we have a legal obligation to erase personal data.
However, there may be legal requirements or other compelling reasons that prevent us from immediately erasing your personal data. We will then stop processing your personal data for purposes other than in compliance with the law or where there are no compelling legitimate grounds for doing so.
In the event you would like to exercise your right for the erasure of your personal data, please use this form and send an email with the subject line “Erasure of Personal Data Request” and the completed form attached to privacy@sanalabs.com. We will confirm receipt of the completed form and take reasonable steps to ensure you are the data subject. Upon verification, we will complete the erasure without undue delay.
Restriction of processing. This means that we temporarily restrict the processing of your data. You have the right to request restriction under certain conditions, e.g. when: you consider your data to be inaccurate and you have requested rectification as defined above, while we establish the accuracy of the data; the processing is unlawful and you do not want the data to be erased; as the personal data controller, we no longer need the personal data for our processing purposes, but you need them to be able to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim; or you have objected to processing as defined in Section 9.3.1, while waiting for us to consider whether our legitimate interests override yours.
We will take all reasonable measures possible to notify everyone who has received personal data as stated in Section 7 above if we have rectified, erased, or restricted access to your personal data after you have requested us to do so. If you request information on recipients of your personal data, we will inform you about the recipients.
Right to Object. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if our processing is based upon legitimate interests (see Section 3 above). If you object to such processing, we will only continue to process your data if we have compelling reasons for doing so that override your interests.
If you do not wish that we use your personal data for direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing by contacting us. We will cease to use your data for that purpose when we have received your objection.
Right to withdraw your consent. When we need your consent in order to process your personal data, you always have the right to withdraw such consent at any time by contacting us.
Right to data portability. You have the right to data portability. This means the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to request that these data are transferred to another personal data controller. The right to data portability only applies when the processing is being carried out by automated means and our lawful basis for processing your data is the performance of an agreement between you and us or your consent.
File a complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Data Protection Authority (Sw. Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten) if you are not satisfied with our processing of your personal data.
-
Protection of your personal data
We always want you to feel confident about providing us with your personal data. We have therefore taken appropriate security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, and erasure. Even though we work hard to protect your data, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Should a security breach occur that may materially impact you or your personal data, e.g., risk of fraud or identity theft, we will contact you to explain what action you can take to mitigate potential adverse effects of the breach.
We strongly advise you to be cautious and to protect your own personal data. You are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential and avoiding others from observing your personal data when using our services in public spaces.
