When a user wishes to subscribe to information from Swedish Match, we request the contact information, such as an e-mail address, needed to provide the subscription service. If you do not submit the information we request, we cannot offer you the subscription service. The legal basis for this processing is our, and your, legitimate interest in administering your subscription.

Who do we share your personal data with?
Swedish Match may share your personal data with other companies within the Swedish Match Group, as well as with collaborating partners, for example when providing IT and subscription services. These recipients only process your personal data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. Swedish Match takes all appropriate legal, technological and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is processed securely, and with an adequate level of security when transferring to or sharing with selected recipients of this kind.
Swedish Match may also share your personal data with other companies who process your personal data independently, outside of our control. We only share your information with these companies in order to fulfill our commitments towards you. When your personal data is shared with these companies, which are independent controllers, your personal data is processed in accordance with what is outlined in these companies’ privacy notices.
Swedish Match may also share your personal data with government agencies if we are obligated under the law to do so, or on suspicion of criminal activity.
Where do we process your personal data?
Your personal data will primarily be processed within the EU/EEA, but may also be transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA such as the United States – for example, if we share your information with other companies in the Swedish Match Group.
Swedish Match will only transfer your personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA if there are legal grounds to do so and sufficient guarantees that your personal data will be handled in a lawful manner. In such cases, Swedish Match takes all appropriate legal, technological and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is processed securely, and with an adequate level of security comparable to the level of protection offered within the EU/EEA.
How long do we save your personal data?
We save your personal data only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which you submitted your data. See more information under each purpose above.
We may also save your personal data for a longer time if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation that requires processing in accordance with applicable laws, or so that we can establish, enforce, or defend legal claims.
What are your rights?
You have certain specific legal rights that you can enforce against us. A summary of these rights follows below.
Right to access/extracts from the register. You have the right to know what personal data about you we are processing. Upon request from you, we will provide you with information in writing about our processing of your personal data, free of charge.
Right to data portability. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Provided that it is technologically possible – which is determined by Swedish Match – you also have the right to request that we transfer this personal data to another controller. The right to data portability applies to personal data that is processed via automated means, and is based on an agreement with you.
Correction of erroneous information. You have the right to request that we correct erroneous or incomplete information about yourself.
Deletion of certain data. You have the right to request that we delete your personal data under certain conditions, for example if your personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which we collected the data, if you object to a weighing of legitimate interests we have carried out and support for our legitimate interest is lacking, if your personal data was processed in an unlawful manner or if your personal data has to be deleted in order to fulfill a legal obligation.
In certain cases, we must save your personal data despite your request owing to legal requirements such as accounting and tax legislation, or for example if we need to retain certain data in order to establish, enforce or defend a legal claim.
Right to restrict processing of your personal data. You have the right to demand a restriction on our processing of your personal data in certain cases. If, for example, you have contested the fact that your personal data is correct, you can request a restriction on processing for a period of time that will give us the opportunity to check if your personal data is correct.
Right to object to our processing of personal data. You have the right, under certain conditions, to object to our processing of your personal data.
You have the right to object to processing that is based on the legal grounds of our legitimate interest. However, we may continue processing your data despite your objection to the processing if we have compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your privacy interests.
