3.      Legal Grounds for Processing of Personal Data

• Individual/company has given prior consent to processing of his/her/its Personal Data for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislation Universal Robots may be allowed to process Personal Data until an individual objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, when the processing of Personal Data is subject to European Data Protection laws;
• Processing of data is necessary for the performance of a contract and/or for any pre-contractual obligations;
• Processing is necessary for compliance with any legal obligations;
• Processing of Personal Data is necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal claims;
• Processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in Universal Robots; and/or,
• Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Universal Robots or by a third party, if such interests are considered to override individual/company interests or fundamental rights. Such legitimate interests may include Universal Robots’ interests in developing, marketing and selling products and providing services, and pursuing and maintaining business relationship with customers, suppliers, distributors, partners and other business relations.

Upon request, Universal Robots will provide information to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to specific processing activities, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Consent & withdrawal of consent. To the extent that Universal Robots’ processing activities are based on the Data Subject’s consent, the Data Subject maintains the right to withdraw his/her/its consent at any time. If Data Subject withdraws his/her/its consent, Universal Robots will cease processing of the Data Subject’s Personal Data, unless and to the extent that continued processing is permitted or required according to the applicable Personal Data legislation or other applicable law. If the Data Subject withdraws his/her/its consent, it will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to the withdrawal.

Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in Universal Robots or for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by Universal Robots, an individual may object to such processing by providing a ground related to the individual’s particular situation to justify the objection. However, if Personal Data is processed for direct marketing purposes, an individual can object to such processing at any time without providing any justification by contacting the Data Protection Team.

Notice of statutory or required processing. In cases where Universal Robots processes Personal Data based on a legal obligation or a requirement under a contract or a requirement that must be met in order to enter into a contract, the customer is obliged to provide Universal Robots with the information so that Universal Robots can maintain the customer relationship, fulfil the contract and invoice for our services, etc. If the customer does not wish to provide Universal Robots with the information Universal Robots needs to comply with contractual and/or statutory obligations, the consequence may be that Universal Robots is unable to establish or continue the business relationship.

However, in such instances, the individuals will not be able to receive marketing materials and newsletters from Universal Robots.

5.      Place and International Data Transfer

The Personal Data is processed at the Universal Robots’ operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. Universal Robots ensures that: (i) the Personal Data is transferred to countries recognized as offering an equivalent level of protection; or (ii) the transfer is made pursuant to appropriate safeguards that require the recipient to treat the Personal Data in a manner that is essentially equivalent to legal requirements.

Specific rules apply when Universal Robots transfers Personal Data from the EU/EEA to third countries or international organizations. When transferring Personal Data to third countries or international organizations, Universal Robots is obligated to establish appropriate safeguards prior to the transfer, which in practice are established by entering the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (“EU SCCs”) or by collecting consent from the Data Subject (Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR).

Universal Robots may use electronic communications service providers or share data with partners based outside of EU, including countries where the legal regime for protection of personal data might not be as sufficient as within the EU. As an example, transfers to the US may entail that U.S. FISA 702 (surveillance legislation) can require the data to be handed over by U.S authorities. In such a scenario, the legal basis for the transfer is Data Subject consent (Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR).

In accordance with the GDPR, Universal Robots has concluded Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and/or Joint Data Controller Agreement (JDCA) and/or agreements with Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with external parties and affiliated companies, as applicable.

The Personal Data relating to individuals in the United Kingdom (“UK”) maybe processed by Universal Robots in countries outside of the UK. In this regard the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”) and UK Addendum will apply to data transfer from the UK to other countries.

The Personal Data relating to individuals in China Mainland may be processed by Universal Robots in countries outside of China Mainland. Where this occurs, it will be done in compliance with local laws, including the Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”). As outlined in this Privacy Policy, Universal Robots may also transfer such Personal Data to third parties, who may in turn store or transfer the data outside of China Mainland. Please see also Universal Robots China Privacy Policy.

6.       Retention period

Personal data collected by Universal Robots shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose for which the personal data has been collected.  Universal Robots may be allowed to retain personal data for a longer period if Universal Robots has obtained valid consent to the processing activity as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, Universal Robots may be obliged to retain the personal data for a longer period, whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

Once the retention period expires, personal data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be accommodated after expiration of the retention period.

7.       Individuals’ Rights

Where legally required, Universal Robots shall inform individuals of the purpose of processing their Personal Data, rights to have their Personal Data rectified, deleted or blocked, and the identity of the company responsible for the collection and process their Personal Data.

All employees are trained on basic data protection requirements and certain groups have more advanced training on Personal Data processing based on business needs.

9.  Ongoing Audit & Monitoring

The Data Subject does not need to create an account with Universal Robots in order to exercise its privacy rights. However, before processing the Data Subject’s request, Universal Robots will need to verify Data Subject’s identity and confirm Data Subject’s state if residency. In order to verify Data Subject’s identity, Universal Robots will generally either require the successful authentication of Data Subject’s account, or the matching of sufficient information the Data Subject provides to Universal Robots which maintains in the systems.

Universal Robots will only use Personal Information provided in a privacy rights request to review and comply with the request. If the Data Subjects choose not to provide this information, Universal Robots may only be able to process the request to the extent Universal Robots is able to identify the Data Subject in the system(s). Universal Robots may not process the request if Universal Robots, in good faith, believes that the request is fraudulent. In such instances, Universal Robots will send a notice to the requestor explaining the decision. If Universal Robots is unable to comply with all or a portion of a Data Subject’s request, Universal Robots will explain the reasons for declining to comply with the request.

Opt-Out Rights in Relation to Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.

These third parties use this information for the purposes of providing ads that are more relevant, for ad campaign measurement and analytics, and for fraud detection and reporting. There third parties may sell that information to other businesses for advertising and other purposes. 

To opt out of the sharing of Personal Information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, the Data Subject may submit a request by clicking “Change your consent/Withdraw Your Consent” on the Cookie Policy.
