In which areas does Culture Intelligence process personal data?
Mapping of organizational culture
Culture Intelligence provides a software (SaaS) solution for mapping organizational culture. The survey takes place by sending out an e-mail with a link to a survey to which the recipient responds. It is typically the following personal data that is collected: name, email, employer’s name, age, gender, job position and nationality. Your value priorities are also collected.
The purpose of the survey is to measure the actual culture of an organization by aggregating the responses of all its members. Personal data is processed anonymously and cannot be shared across an organization. An organization can also define a desired culture. By defining a desired culture, the organization can use the software solution to identify gaps between actual culture and desired culture. By having knowledge of such a gap, the organization can work actively to change their culture and thus close the gap.
All details of how your personal data is handled in relation between Culture Intelligence (Data Processor) and data controller are defined in a separate data processing agreement. The agreement provides detailed information about how data is stored, secured, and deleted. The list of sub processors used specifically in connection with this software (SaaS) is listed in the Data Processing Agreement. The data processing agreement is based on a standard template from the Norwegian Data Protection Authority. Culture Intelligence’s standard data processing agreement is available here.
Customer and vendor information
Culture Intelligence processes personal data related to customers and suppliers, in addition to any third parties where this is required to fulfil contract obligations.
The legal basis for such processing is Section 8, first paragraph and Section 8 a), b) or f) and Section 9 a), b) and f) of the Norwegian Personal Data Act. The personal data is stored in a separate database and deleted five years after the end of the customer relationship.
Sub-processors
Culture Intelligence may use sub-processors. As a result of our services, we act as a data processor for many customers. We therefore rely on general permission to use sub-processors, cf. GDPR Article 28. This is agreed with the customer in our data processing agreement.
When using sub-processors, we confirm that these are subject to the same obligations regarding protection and use of personal data and other customer data in the same manner as Culture Intelligence.
Suppliers acting as sub-processors for Culture Intelligence shall be able to document good internal procedures for privacy and information security through certifications, report from independent audit of the supplier, or other relevant documentation. Culture Intelligence may carry out security audits to ensure that the supplier processes personal data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.
