Who is the personal data controller for the processing of your personal data?

Various companies within the Peab Group are personal data controllers for the processing of your personal data. The Peab company that is responsible for the processing of your personal data in a specific situation depends on how you get in touch with Peab and what the processing covers. To learn more about which Peab company is responsible for the processing of your personal data, please see the more detailed information below.

What personal data do we process about you?

Peab collects personal data about you when, for instance, you sign up for a newsletter on Peab’s website, fill out an expression of interest form for any of Peab’s residential housing projects, attend any of our sales activities, trade fairs or events, when you contact Peab’s exchange or contact us through any of our contact forms or get in touch with us in any other way.

Peab only processes the personal data necessary to fulfil certain specific purposes, which means that Peab processes different personal data in different situations. For example, personal data that Peab process may concern your name, e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, date of birth and/or any other information that you have provided to us, or otherwise is necessary in order for us to be able to fulfil our commitments or run our operations.

Why and with what legal support do we process your personal data?

Peab processes your personal data for a variety of different purposes in different situations. Primarily to fulfil our commitments, to provide good service and well-functioning, efficient and easy to access services.

To be able to process your data, Peab must have a legal basis for processing. This means that in order for our processing to be lawful, it is required, for example, that it is necessary in order to fulfil the obligations in an agreement with you, or that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. The processing of your personal data may also be based on a balance of interests, where we have made the assessment that our interest in processing your personal data is greater than your interest or fundamental rights and freedoms. In certain instances, Peab may require your consent before processing your personal data. When you provide your consent in these instances, you will always receive clear and specific information about what you are consenting to and how you should proceed to revoke your consent.

You can read more about the purposes for which Peab processes your personal data and the legal basis Peab has for each personal data processing in the detailed information below.

Who has access to your personal data?

As a starting point, your personal data is only processed by PEAB. In certain situations, when necessary, we share your personal data with parties who process the personal data as personal data controllers.

We also share your personal data with our IT suppliers, who process your personal data on our behalf as our personal data processors. Our IT suppliers will only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions, to fulfil their obligations towards us.

How long will your data be retained?

Peab retains your data for as long as it is necessary in the light of the purposes we collect it for or for the time we are required to do so by law, regulation or government decision, or otherwise by what is provided as industry practices.
