We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

4. Contact Forms and CRM

Our website contains contact forms that allow visitors to submit enquiries.

The forms are provided through our website platform. Information submitted through these forms may be received by us through our business email systems and may subsequently be manually transferred to our CRM system, HubSpot, where necessary for managing enquiries, customer relationships, quotations, sales activities, and follow-up.

HubSpot is used as a CRM system. We do not use HubSpot tracking technologies, cookies, or the HubSpot tracking code on our website as part of this process.

The personal data transferred to HubSpot may include information such as your name, email address, telephone number, company, enquiry, and other information you choose to provide.

5. Job Applications

We may publish job opportunities and accept applications by email or other application channels.

If you submit a job application, we process the information you provide, such as your CV, cover letter, contact details, qualifications, work experience, and other information relevant to the recruitment process.

We retain application information only for as long as it is necessary for the recruitment process and for any period reasonably required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims relating to the recruitment process.

Once the recruitment process has ended and the information is no longer necessary for these purposes, application information will be deleted or anonymised.

If we wish to retain your application for consideration in future recruitment processes, we will normally ask for your consent for this additional retention.

If you would like us to delete your application earlier, you can contact us at info@ekatech.se.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

For enquiries and business contacts, we generally retain relevant information for as long as there is an active business relationship or ongoing business need. When the relationship or purpose ends, information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer necessary.

Certain personal data may need to be retained for longer periods where required by law. This includes accounting and financial records that are subject to applicable accounting legislation.

For job applications, the retention principles described in Section 5 apply.

We periodically review the personal data we hold and delete or anonymise information that is no longer necessary.

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share personal data with suppliers and service providers that process personal data on our behalf where this is necessary to operate our business and provide our services.
