This control applies to all systems, people and processes that constitute the organisation’s information systems, including board members, employees, suppliers and other third parties who have an access to Kapacity.io systems. 

Data Controller 

This Privacy Policy outlines how we as the data controller collect, use and share personal data of people who use or are connected to our services, are interested in our services (or us), or with whom we otherwise do (or would like to do) business.

This privacy notice does not apply to the personal information we process as a “data processor” on behalf of our customers. In those situations, the customer that we provide services to and with whom we have entered into a data processing agreement is the “data controller” responsible for your personal information, and we merely process your information on their behalf in accordance with your instructions. If you want to know more about our customers’ privacy practices, you should read their privacy policies and direct any questions you have to them. 

Why do we collect your personal data?

We collect your personal data only when there is a legal basis for it. For every specific process of personal data, we collect from you, we inform you whether the provision of personal data is statutory or required to enter a contract and whether it is an obligation to provide the personal data and possible consequences if you choose not to.

Recipients of personal data 

We may disclose your personal information to all companies in our group (i.e., subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and all its subsidiaries) insofar that it is reasonably necessary for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Exceptions are trusted third parties that help us to run the site, conduct our business, deliver the goods you order or provide service, if these parties agree to keep the information confidential and not use it for other purposes that are not agreed upon.

Retention policy

We will only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to perform our contractual obligations and if required by statutory storage time. When we store your personal data for purposes other than our contractual commitments, such as consent when you sign up to our events or receive a newsletter via email, we save the data only if necessary and / or statutory for the purpose.

When there is no longer a purpose or legal obligation of storing the personal data, it is deleted or anonymized.

Personal data that is only collected for a specific purpose is kept to a minimum to be able to perform the purpose, also known as data minimization.
