The legal basis for processing of your personal data

A legitimate interest for Encodify can be in relation to your inquiry, handling of recruitment processes, handling of the relevant processes in relation to acquisitions and investments, maintaining business relationships etc.
Recipients of your personal data
Certain recipients process personal data on behalf of Encodify. Such data processors may only process your personal data in accordance with the instructions given by Encodify.
Furthermore, Encodify may disclose your personal data to third parties, including companies within the Group, Encodify’s business partners, supplier’s and other third parties, who processes personal data about you on behalf of Encodify and in accordance with the instructions given by Encodify.

Transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA
Transfer of personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA (a third country) that is considered to provide an adequate level of protection does not require a specific authorization. Personal data can without further measures be transferred to such third countries.
Transfer to so-called "unsafe" third countries may be carried out based on a variety of appropriate safeguards that have been established to provide an adequate level of protection of the data subjects' rights. In terms of a specific example we can refer to entering into the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses with the recipient of the personal data.
Where no appropriate safeguards are provided, transfer of personal data to "unsafe" third countries may take place based on specific legal basis for the transfer. The transfer can, for instance, take place based on consent, for the performance of a contract with a company established in such third country and if necessary in relation to legal claims. The specific legal basis are stated in article 49(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
