This privacy policy is relevant for people who accesses one of Kantar Sifo’s client or internal systems, specified in the cookie-links below. The policy does not apply to (i) our website kantarsifo.se, or to (ii) market research survey respondents, or to (iii) survey sample held in any of the systems relevant to this policy. The (iii) data is instead covered by a “Personal Data Processing Agreement” between Kantar Sifo and our client as data controller. The definition of “personal data” is any kind of information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

In addition, we will receive and save information from your computer and browser, including your IP address, software and hardware information, and the requested page.

The information we collect can be used to:

• Improve our site and thus your experience on the same

Who might we share your personal data with?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer, personally identifiable information to third parties.

If so required by law or statute or by a decision by a government authority, we may be obliged to release data to parties other than those mentioned above.

How is your personal data protected?

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data which is given to us, both in transferring and in collection. We follow generally accepted industry standards for the protection of personal data.

The computers / servers used to store personally identifiable information are stored in a secure environment.

Only employees who are required to perform a specific job (eg user statistics analysis, user handling) will have access to personally identifiable information.

All our employees are contractually bound to follow our policy and procedures regarding secrecy, security and privacy.

What are cookies and how do we use them?

A cookie is a text file the website you visit requests to be allowed to save on your computer (note that by computer is also meant e-readers and smart telephones unless otherwise stated) and which makes it possible to identify you as a visitor to a website.

There are two different types of cookies. One type is more long-lasting and saves a text file for a longer period on your computer. This type of cookie has a fixed expiry date and is used, for example, for functions that talk about what is new since you last visited the current website. When the expiry date for the current cookie passes it is deleted from your computer the next time you visit the website which originally placed the cookie in computer.

The second type of cookie is more transient (“session cookies” as they are called) and is stored temporarily on your communication device during the time you are visiting a website. This type of cookie is used, for example, to keep track of what language you have chosen for that website and disappears as soon as you close your web browser.

The cookie file cannot link this information to personally identifiable data. If you prefer not to accept cookies from our website you can deactivate them in your web browser settings. Note that if you do so some parts of our systems will be partially or completely inoperative.
