Legal basis of processing
Devity AS may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:
- Users have given consent for one or more specific purposes.
- Provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User or for pre-contractual obligations.
- Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Devity AS is subject.
- Processing is related to a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in Devity AS.
- Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by Devity AS or by a third party.
Devity AS will help clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, including whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Further information about retention time
Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between Devity AS and the User shall be retained until the contract has been fully performed.
Personal Data collected for the purposes of Devity AS’ legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfil such purposes. Users may request specific information regarding these legitimate interests by contacting Devity AS.
Devity AS may retain Personal Data for a longer period where the User has given consent, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Devity AS may also be required to retain Personal Data for a longer period where necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.
Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the rights of access, erasure, rectification and data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

- Verify and seek rectification of their Data.

Details about the right to object to processing
Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of official authority vested in Devity AS or for the legitimate interests pursued by Devity AS, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation.
Where Personal Data is processed for direct marketing purposes, Users can object to that processing at any time, free of charge and without providing any justification. Where the User objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the Personal Data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
How to exercise these rights
Any requests to exercise User rights can be directed to Devity AS through the contact details provided in this document. Such requests are free of charge and will be answered as early as possible and always within one month, providing Users with the information required by law.
Any rectification or erasure of Personal Data or restriction of processing will be communicated by Devity AS to each recipient, if any, to whom the Personal Data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At the User's request, Devity AS will inform the User about those recipients.
Transfer of Personal Data outside the European Union
Data transfer abroad based on consent
If this is the legal basis, Personal Data of Users shall be transferred from the EU/EEA to third countries only if the User has explicitly consented to such transfer after having been informed of the possible risks due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards.
In such cases, Devity AS shall inform Users appropriately and collect their explicit consent through Devity applications where required.
