3.     Transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA

As part of our business operations, we will be transferring personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, including to our office in the United Kingdom and to our investors in USA and Australia.

United Kingdom has been deemed by the Commission of the European Union to have an adequate level of protection of personal data pursuant to GDPR article 45. If our investors in USA have self-certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework ("DPF"), reliable transfer mechanisms for transfers of personal data to these investors will be in place, ensuring data protection that is consistent with the GDPR and EU law. The transfers of personal data to investors who have self-certified under the DPF will therefore take place on the basis of GDPR article 45.

Transfers to USA to investors who have not self-certified under the DPF and Australia will take place on the basis of GDPR article 49.1.b. USA and Australia usually do not ensure a level of protection essentially equivalent to that ensured within the EU/EEA. Therefore, you must be aware that these countries may not provide effective legal remedies to exercise your rights and may allow unjustifiable access to personal data by public authorities.

Furthermore, we will be transferring personal data to our data processors Microsoft and Dropbox, which may imply further transfers to their sub-processors.

Transfers to Microsoft may include limited transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA, including to Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Hongkong, India, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and USA, and transfers to Dropbox may include limited transfers to USA.

Canada, Israel, Japan (provided that the recipient is subject to the Japanese Act on the Protection of Personal Information - Act No. 57 of 2003), South Korea, Switzerland and United Kingdom have been deemed by the Commission of the European Union to have an adequate level of protection of personal data pursuant to GDPR article 45. Microsoft and Dropbox have self-certified under the DPF, and transfers to these data processors in USA will therefore also take place on the basis of GDPR article 45.

Transfers to recipients in the countries that have not been deemed by the Commission of the European Union to have an adequate level of protection of personal data or to recipients in USA who have not self-certified under the DPF will take place on the basis of the following legal basis:

·       Through the use of "Standard contractual clauses for international transfers" as published by the Commission of the European Union, or any other contractual agreement approved by the competent authorities. You may obtain a copy of the contract/agreement by contacting gk@grocapital.dk.

4.     Your rights

You have the following rights:

·        You have the right to request access to, rectification or erasure of your personal data.

·        You also have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted.

·        You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability).

·        You may always lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, e.g. The Danish Data Protection Agency.

Furthermore, you have the right to object to processing of your personal data as follows.

·       If processing of your personal data is based on article 6(1)(f), see above regarding legal basis, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data.

You can take steps to exercise your rights by sending us an email via gk@grocapital.dk.

There may be conditions or limitations on these rights. It is therefore not certain for example you have the right of data portability in the specific case - this depends on the specific circumstances of the processing activity.
