2.2.3    Marketing and Remarketing

To create brand awareness and spread information about our products and services, Modig partners with digital advertisers to showcase marketing content on social and online advertising networks. The services we use are Google ads, Facebook Pixels, advertisements on Linkedin, and YouTube ads.

Our purpose is to display personalized and relevant Modig advertisements to you on third-party websites, social media channels, and through direct communication. This is called retargeting. To achieve this, we need your permission to use advertising cookies on our website, as well as your consent to receive marketing from us. We consider Meta, Google, and Dealfront as joint controllers in these scenarios.

When you visit our website through such an advertisement, these platforms store a cookie on your device. See the cookies we use for targeting in our cookie list at https://modig.se/cookie-policy/. Information about your visit and the displayed advertisements are stored through these cookies. In this process, Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn may recognize your internet browser and any previous cookies. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and we cannot identify users based on this information. Therefore, we do not collect any personal data. However, a direct connection between your browser and the servers of these platforms is automatically established. If you are registered with a service from Google, Facebook, and/or LinkedIn, your visit can be linked to your account.

3. How long do we store your personal data?

Modig makes sure to keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was originally collected, as described in this Privacy Notice. Once we no longer require your data, we will delete it from our systems, databases, and backups.

Modig processes your personal data in our CRM system to send you marketing, information and business related matter that is relevant to you. This processing will continue until you decide to withdraw your consent or opt out of receiving marketing information from us. If you do opt out, we will ensure that you are not inadvertently sent any further marketing by keeping a suppression list. Our legal obligation is to respect your choices regarding the processing of your personal data.

However, there may be situations where we are required by law to retain your personal data or to protect our legal interests or the public interest.

4. Children Under 16

Modig does not intend to collect data about visitors to our website who are under 16 years of age unless they have parental or guardian consent. However, we cannot verify if a visitor is older than 16. We encourage parents and guardians to be involved in their children’s online activities to prevent data collection from children without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal data about a minor without this consent, please contact us at modig@modig.se, and we will remove this information.

5. With whom do we share your personal data?

Modig may share your personal data with third parties who are trusted and have an agreement with us to process your data in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Additionally, in certain circumstances, we may need to disclose your personal data to authorities or third parties in connection with court proceedings, business acquisition or combination processes, or other similar processes.

6. International transfers of your personal data

As Modig is a global company with multiple locations in various countries, it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA in order to achieve the purposes listed above.

When transferring personal information outside the EU/EEA, we make sure that we have a legal basis for the transfer and that the level of protection is equivalent to that provided within the EU/EEA. We ensure this by taking adequate protective measures such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, ensuring that the country has an adequate level of protection, obtaining explicit consent from the data subjects, or making the transfer necessary with regard to the purposes set out in article 49 of the GDPR.
