V.            MEDIATION
We never sell personal information about you. We never share personal information with third parties without your consent to the sharing (which you are free to refuse) except where we are required to do so by law or in the cases listed in Section IV or in the next paragraph.
We may share personal information with third parties (processors) who are our service providers, agents or contractors for the purpose of completing a task or providing you with a service or product that you have requested or agreed to. We may also share information with processors when it is necessary to protect our vital interests, e.g. when collecting a default claim. We also share information, for statistical purposes, with processors who work with us in quality and marketing work. We only provide the processors with the personal information that is necessary for them for the above-mentioned purposes and we enter into an agreement with them in which they undertake to keep your information secure and use it only for the above-mentioned purposes.
Please note that any content you post or share on our social media pages is public information. Please note that by linking your Page account and your social media account, you are giving us permission to share information with the social media service provider, and the use of the information we share is governed by the social media service provider’s privacy policy. If you do not want your personal information to be shared with other users or with the social media service provider, please do not link your social media account to your Page account or share content on social media from the Page.

VI.            THIRD PARTIES
This Privacy Policy does not cover information or processing by third parties, but we have no control over and are not responsible for their use, disclosure or other actions. We therefore encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of third parties, including the web hosts of sites that may link to ours, software companies such as Facebook, Apple, Google and Microsoft, and the payment service you choose to use.

VII.            PROTECTION
We place great importance on protecting all personal data and therefore have an internal control system that is intended to ensure that appropriate technical and organizational security measures are always taken.
We will notify you without undue delay if there is a security breach involving your personal data that poses a high risk to you. A security breach in the above sense means a breach of security that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction of personal data or to its loss, alteration, disclosure or unauthorized access.
However, your attention is drawn to the fact that you are responsible for personal data, such as name, ID number and photo, that you choose to share or send in a public forum, e.g. via, chat room or control center.
Our websites use SSL certificates, which means that data transmission to and from the sites is encrypted and therefore more secure. SSL certificates prevent third parties from obtaining access to data transmitted over the web, for example when sending inquiries and service orders from the website.
We would also like to point out that data transmission over the internet is never completely secure. You are therefore advised to inform us immediately if you believe that there is a risk that certain information you have provided to us is at risk.

VIII.            SECURITY
The company makes every effort to keep personal information about you accurate and reliable and updates it as necessary. We retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes of this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. If there is a possibility that the personal information may be needed later to comply with legal obligations, e.g. against tax authorities, or to assert or defend legal claims, we will take a copy of the personal data in question and keep it in a secure format for as long as necessary.

 IX.            YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right and may request that the company provide you with information about the personal data the company holds as well as about the processing and handling of information about you.
You have the right in certain cases to have personal data about you corrected or erased, for example, if the information is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected.
Your request will be considered and the information will be provided to you (where applicable) within a reasonable time, subject to the limitations imposed by the rights and freedoms of others, including trade secrets and intellectual property rights. You will be notified and given an explanation if there is a delay in processing or if it is not possible to fully comply with your request no later than one month from receipt. You can complain to the Icelandic Data Protection Authority if we refuse to provide you with certain information.

X.            CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Personal information about children under the age of 13 is not collected.

CHANGES
The Privacy Policy is reviewed regularly and may therefore change. You are therefore advised to familiarize yourself with the Privacy Policy regularly, but changes to the policy will become effective upon publication on the company’s website; www.taekniheimur.is
