Who could we share your information with?
Catena may share your personal data with other controllers. For example, tenant organisations, insurance companies or debt collection companies. The sharing of your personal data with other data controllers takes place in order to achieve the same purpose and with the same legal basis as the personal data was collected for and on the basis of. It is the other controller that is responsible for its own processing of your personal data.
In cases where we cooperate with another actor, for example to organise an event, we may share personal data between us for similar purposes and then act as a joint data controller.
In order to fulfil the purposes of the processing of your personal data, we use external parties who act entirely on our instructions, so-called data processors. When we use data processors, the processing is based on the same legal grounds and for the same purposes as described in this policy. We take technical and organisational security measures to ensure that your personal data is processed in a secure manner. We also enter into data processor agreements to regulate the responsibility between us and our processors.
We have listed the categories of recipients with whom your personal data may be shared:
Suppliers and subcontractors: Catena uses third-party suppliers to manage parts of the business, such as IT and system suppliers for communication programmes, CRM systems and the like. We may share personal data with these suppliers when they perform services on our behalf.
Banks and partners: Catena shares your personal data with other independent data controllers such as banks and partners. These recipients independently manage and are responsible for the processing of your personal data.
Companies within the group: Catena may share your personal data with other companies within the group, if it is necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this information.
Social media: Catena uses social media. When using social media, your personal data is collected and processed by these companies. See each company's privacy policy for more information.
Authorities: We will also disclose your personal data to authorities, such as the Swedish Tax Agency, if it is required by law, a decision by an authority or a court order, or if we reasonably believe that the disclosure is necessary to protect our rights.
Catena will not sell your personal data to third parties without your prior authorisation. We may transfer your personal data to a buyer/investor or potential buyer/investor in connection with a restructuring, sale or other transfer of all or part of Catena's shares, assets or our business in general. Upon such transfer, we will take steps to ensure that the receiving party processes your personal data in a manner consistent with this notice.
Transfers to third countries
When we transfer your personal data to a supplier, partner or other provider, we do this to receive help in performing certain processing activities. When such a recipient is located in a third country (a country outside EU/EEA), we choose our recipients with particular care and ensure they can offer us security measures so you can feel safe with how we are processing your personal data.
For all of these transfers, we ensure that standard contractual clauses (SCCs) have been signed, or an equivalent approved transfer mechanism is in place in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR. This is to ensure as far as possible that the information is processed as securely as if the recipient had been located in the EU/EEA. However, despite this we wish to inform you that national legislation in recipient countries (such as the US) in some cases may allow their authorities to access the information through their security legislation.
The following recipients outside the EU/EEA may be considered:
Suppliers and subcontractors: We may share your personal data with suppliers and subcontractors outside the EU/EEA. This may include, for example, suppliers of IT services. Here we list suppliers and subcontractors outside the EU/EEA.
Microsoft Office 365: By using the service, your personal data will be processed by the company Microsoft Corporation. When Microsoft receives your personal data, the personal data may be transferred to, for example, the United States. You can read more about Microsoft's processing here and about their transfers to third countries here.
Social media: When you visit, appear on or otherwise use Catena's social media channels, your personal data is also collected and processed by the company that owns the respective social media. In connection with these companies receiving your personal data via Catena's channels, the personal data may be transferred to, for example, the USA. Here we list the social media on which Catena has channels.

Your rights
As described in the introduction, our Privacy Policy only includes the most common types of processing and those that can be assumed to impact you most. This is to avoid it becoming too long and complicated. If you would like a more detailed description of specific information we have about you, you can always utilise your right of access, described below, or send us a question.
Right of access
You are entitled to receive a register excerpt from Catena including the personal data registered about you, the purposes for which the data has been processed and to what recipients the data has, or may be, divulged. Requests for access must be made in writing and identification must be proven in a secure manner. You also have the right to receive a copy of the personal data. Please note that this does not mean that you have the right to the documents containing the personal data. We may also request additional information to enable us to identify you.
Right to erasure
You are entitled to request that your personal data is erased, if the processing of personal data is, for example, no longer required for the purposes for which they are processed, is based on your consent and you withdraw this or if your personal data is processed illegally. However, erasure does not apply to personal data that we are obliged to maintain in accordance with legal obligations or that we must process for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
It is important that you are aware that your personal data is often processed for various, separate purposes, in different systems, and your name may therefore remain in our systems to enable us deliver in accordance with tenant agreements, even though the personal data has been removed, for example, for marketing purposes.
Right to rectification
You are entitled to request rectification of the personal data being processed about you if this is inaccurate and you have the right to request that we supplement incomplete personal data.
Right to object and/or limit the processing of your personal data
You have the right to object to or restrict processing operations carried out on your personal data. For example, you can restrict the processing of your personal data temporarily if you believe that the personal data was/is inaccurate - giving us time to investigate. You also have the right to specifically object to the processing operations described below:
Legitimate interest
You are entitled to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interest. This means we only have the right to continue processing your personal data if we can demonstrate that our legitimate interest exceeds your interest in ending the processing and your rights. This only applies to personal data processing performed pursuant to the legal basis of legitimate interest.
Direct marketing
If you do not wish Catena to process your personal data for marketing purposes, you are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time and to unsubscribe from our marketing announcements. You are also entitled to file an objection and we will then immediately cease to process your data for that purpose. When we have received your revocation or objection, we will cease to process the personal data for direct marketing.
Right to data portability
If processing is based on consent or agreement and where technically feasible, you are entitled to data portability, which means we will help you to transfer personal data to you, or the individual you choose, in a machine-readable format. This relates only to data that is available in a structured format and that you have provided to us.
Contact us
If you wish to exercise any of your rights or have questions, contact us on info@catena.se or write to Catena AB, Box 5003, SE-25005 Helsingborg, Sweden.
