At J2 Sourcing, we aim to support every industry segment with tailor-made solutions to achieve efficiency in the supply chain while adhering to strict quality standards and excellent customer service. 

An integral part of our purpose is to respect the integrity and privacy of every person that we come into contact with when fulfilling our mission. In this general privacy notice, we explain how J2 Sourcing AB (“Controller”/”we”/”us”/”our”) collect, uses, discloses, and safeguards the data we collect about you when/if you visit our websites, submit your personal information to us via e.g. e-mail or the contact forms at our websites, or where you otherwise reach out to us for business purposes or use our services for such purposes, as well as where we collect your personal data for business purposes via, e.g., public sources or at an event, meeting, or similar interaction, and when we send you marketing or promotional communications for business purposes. 

Some J2 Sourcing companies and processing activities have different privacy notices that are provided when they are relevant. We also have some supplemental privacy notices that provide additional information as required by law. For instance, this General Privacy Notice does not apply to the personal information we collect about visitors to our premises since this is covered by our Privacy Notice for Camera Monitoring. 

If you have questions, wish to exercise your rights under the GDPR, or otherwise wish to contact us regarding our processing of your personal data within our capacity as data controller, please find our contact details under Section 8 below.

3. How we share your data with third parties 

If personal data is shared with a third party, we ensure that appropriate data-sharing agreements and/or data-processing agreements are in place before sharing data. The only time such sharing is done without a sharing/processing agreement in place is if the sharing of personal data is required by law or ordered by a court/other governmental body or authority. 

4. International data transfers 

We are a Swedish company, and the main part of the processing is conducted in Sweden or within the EU/EEA. We may, in certain cases, transfer data outside the EU/EEA. In such cases, transfers are done in accordance with data protection legislation and the limits set therein. 

Where data is being transferred outside of the EU/EEA to a country for which there is an adequacy decision made by the European Commission, such decision serves as the lawful basis. This is the case where data is being transferred to, e.g., the UK. 

Where there is no adequacy decision in force, we rely on other transfer mechanisms in the GDPR, e.g., by using Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and, if necessary, supplement these with additional safeguards. 

If necessary for, e.g., an incident investigation undertaken by a customer based outside the EU/EEA, we will rely on relevant derogations to perform an extraordinary and singular transfer of personal data that may be necessary for the investigation. 

We will ensure that an appropriate transfer mechanism is used for all international transfers before engaging in a transfer to a country outside of the EU/EEA. 

5. Retention of data 

In general, we will keep your personal data for as long as it is relevant to the purpose it was collected. 

  • When contacting us with a question or request, e.g., by emailing, calling, or filling out our online forms, relevant data will normally be kept for 1 month after the question or request is duly handled unless the request results in a customer/potential customer relationship. 
  • Online identifying information collected automatically through the use of cookies and other tracking technology is generally deleted within 6 months from when it was collected. 
  • In the case of customer contacts, personal data is retained as long as the customer maintains a relationship with the organization. Considering the nature of our business, this means that data is saved also for such customers that buy products and services seldom. Additionally, the data may be kept and analyzed for a time thereafter for service development purposes, in which case it will to the extent possible, be pseudonymized or anonymized. 
  • Certain data related to customer contacts are retained to fulfill tax, accounting, and record-keeping requirements for a period of 7 years after the expiration of the financial year during which the records were made. 

The information may be retained for a longer period of time if reasonably deemed necessary to protect the company’s rights, defend against potential claims, and meet legal obligations.
