Introduction


We are under an obligation to protect the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of our customers’, suppliers’, partners’ and employees’ data, including personal data. Protecting personal data is essential to us, and we are continuously working on ensuring compliance with applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).


Data controller and data processor


When Implement processes personal data in connection with the provision of consultancy services, we assess, together with our customers, whether we are a data processor on behalf of the customer or a separate data controller.


If we process personal data on behalf of our customers and in accordance with customer instructions, we will be considered as data processors and the customer and Implement enter into a data processing agreement.


This data protection policy contains information on Implement’s processing of personal data, when we are the data controller. More information on this may be found below.


Our processing activities


The data controller for Implement’s processing activities is the company within the Implement group of companies which determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.


The company details for all Implement group companies may be found here.

Security of processing


Data security is a high priority at Implement. We work seriously and professionally with information security, and we base our work on internationally recognised security standards. We have implemented security measures to ensure data protection of customer data, personal data and other confidential data. We conduct regular internal follow-ups in relation to the adequacy and compliance of policies and measures.


We occasionally use other third parties, such as subcontractors, in connection with the provision of our services. Such third parties may be granted access to personal data in order for them to be able to provide the agreed service. Implement enters into data protection agreements that are necessary in order to ensure that security is in place to protect data and comply with our data protection obligations.


Implement also uses sub-data processors as part of our day-to-day IT operations. This means that personal data are processed by Implement’s sub-data processors. These sub-data processors are located within the EU. There are data processing agreements in place between Implement and all sub-data processors to ensure that all processing takes place in accordance with Implement’s instructions and is subject to the necessary security requirements.
