Security and disclosure of Your personal data

Your personal data will always be processed confidentially and be protected by appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

We may engage external partners and suppliers to perform services on our behalf, e.g. to provide IT services or to assist in external communication. The performance of such services may entail such parties, both within and outside of the EU/EEA, obtaining access to your personal data. Companies which are processing personal data on behalf of Kinnevik are obliged to sign an agreement with Kinnevik in order to ensure a high level of protection for your personal data. For partners located outside the EU/EEA, additional protective measures are undertaken, e.g. by signing of an agreement which includes the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for data transfers, which can be found on the European Commission’s website.

Personal data related to your visit to our website is only stored for as long as it is necessary in order to fulfil the purpose of the processing, or for as long as Kinnevik is required to store such data by law. The data is thereafter erased in accordance with Kinnevik’s erasure procedure. We will keep your contact information only during the time you subscribe to press releases and/or financial reports. After this, the data will be erased. 

Cookies

We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer in order, for example, to facilitate certain features such as navigation on the website. We use cookies to collect statistics about the number of visitors on the website, analyse visitor patterns and improve the website’s functionality and enhance the user’s experience of it. This information enables us to develop and optimise the website.

The data collected via cookies on our websites are only used for our own purposes as described above, i.e. not for third parties’ purposes. Cookies are sometimes used to collect IP addresses and data linked to IP addresses, but not personal data directly attributable to you as an individual.

Cookies are either deleted automatically when you close your web browser (so-called “session cookies”) or stored on your computer to facilitate future visits to the website (so-called “permanent cookies”). Permanent cookies must also be removed automatically after a specified period of time.

If you do not accept the use of cookies, your web browser can be set so that it automatically rejects the storing of cookies or informs you each time a website requests to store a cookie. Previously stored cookies can also be deleted through the web browser. If your web browser rejects cookies, this may limit the functionality of the website.

Our website may sometimes embed content and sharing tools from social networks, such as YouTube and Instagram. The suppliers of these services may thereby come to use cookies on our website.
