Fingerprint Card AB's notice for the use of personal information
The Fingerprints vision is a secure and seamless universe, where you are the key to everything. That’s a big responsibility, and one we at Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints) take seriously.
1. How we respect your privacy
Our approach at Fingerprint Cards AB is to be as open and transparent as possible about how we collect and use your information.
First, we let you know exactly what information we collect and why. You can read all about that in the next section.
Second, we let you know what we do with your information. Who do we share it with? What do they do with it? You can read about that in section 3.
Third, we protect your information and let you know how long we keep it. Read about that in sections 4 and 5.
Finally, we let you know your choices when it comes to your personal information, including who to contact if you have questions or requests. Read about that in sections 6 and 7.
2. What information we collect and why
We want to make your Fingerprints experience great! To do that we collect several types of information about you. That can be anything from your name and address to your fingerprint.
Types of information | Source, purpose and legal basis |
| You provide us with the information. We need it in order to perform research and development or in order to market our product. We process the information on the basis of consent. |
| We collect this information from you. We use it in order to contact you for statistical purposes, marketing purposes or facilitating the recruitment process. This is done on the basis of Fingerprints’ legitimate interest. |
3. Who we share your information with
We do not sell or trade your information to third parties, but we share with others who can help us achieve the Fingerprints vision. That can be other Fingerprints companies or service providers. We’re all committed to keep your information safe and secure.
We may share personal information with others:
Within Fingerprints: Fingerprints is one brand but many companies. Each plays a special role to achieve the Fingerprints vision. We may share your information with other companies operating under the Fingerprints brand.
Service providers: We may also share your information with authorised Fingerprints service providers. Usually these are companies that store information or provide IT services.
4. How we keep your personal information safe
We protect your information from all kinds of threats: destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. We do this in a variety of ways depending on where we store and use it.

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:
- the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of our organization and systems that process your data
- that availability and access to Personal Data can be restored in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
- Pseudonymisation / anonymization of data where possible.
International transfers
Fingerprints are 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. We do our best to keep your information safe in these cases. In situations where your information will end up outside our control we always ask your consent first.
In addition, we rely on so-called adequacy decisions from the EU. This means that the EU believes a country’s own laws or agreements provide adequate protection for your personal data. For example, we may want to store your information in the United States. In this case, we rely on the Privacy Shield Network, an agreement between the EU and US governments.
Some countries don’t have an adequacy decision, then we will sign an EU Model Contract Clause with the recipient. These are legal texts provided by the EU government.
5. How long we keep your personal data
The length that Fingerprints keep your personal information depends on the legal ground for processing.
- Consent – we will keep your data until you withdraw your consent.
- Legitimate interest – we will keep your data for as long as you are a customer of Fingerprints or an applicant to a job position. If you are a client of ours we will also keep your information for three years after you cease to be our client for marketing purposes.
We might store your information longer than stated above if it is necessary because of legal requirements.
6. Your privacy rights

- You have the right to restrict our processing activities in certain situations. This means we will continue to store your information, but we’ll temporarily stop any other processing.
