Here are some things we do to keep your personal information safe:
Security
- Encryption of data;
- The use of:
- firewalls and secure servers;
- passwords;
- hashing techniques;
- logging of systems;
- access badges in buildings;
- a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
- Security training and awareness of personnel (including trainings on phishing and social engineering);
- The ability to ensure:

- Pseudonymisation / anonymization of data where possible.
- International transfers
Fingerprints is a part of a global group of companies, and we have service providers and business partners in many parts of the world. In some cases, we might have to transfer your information to one of these companies located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or People’s Republic of China (PRC) (Third Countries).
When transfer outside EEA, we mainly rely on so-called adequacy decisions. This means that the EU believes a Third Country’s own laws or agreements provide adequate protection for your personal data. If a country doesn’t have an adequacy decision or it is otherwise necessary, we will sign applicable Standard Contract Clauses (SCC) with the recipient, in order to be compliant with GDPR and/or Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) in the PRC. Besides this, we will ensure that our arrangements are governed by relevant legal mechanisms and safeguards, designed to ensure that your personal information is protected.
Also, we will meet the legal requirements relevant to make the Third Country transfer compliant with applicable legislations, such as Third Country Impact Assessments, or collecting necessary consent for transfer out of PRC.
- Why and how long we keep your personal data
Fingerprints keep and process your personal data only as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data was collected or to fulfill any legal obligations, and as stated below.
Personal data processed for contractual and business relation purposes, for example Suppliers, Business Partners or Customers to Fingerprints, will be processed as long as we may have any contractual rights and legal obligations towards you as the contact person or your employer, and as long as necessary in order to comply with any legal obligations in each of the countries where we conduct operations.
