Information about personal data processing and use of cookies

At Kinnevik AB (publ) (“Kinnevik”) we care about your privacy and comply with applicable data protection legislation. We therefore wish to inform you about our processing of your personal data and our use of cookies.

What personal data do we process and for what purposes?

When browsing our website, contacting Kinnevik directly or in any other way sharing personal data with us, we collect and process such personal data. The personal data processed, consist of e.g. contact information provided by you in connection with your subscription to Kinnevik’s press releases, financial reports and other information. We also process information relating to your visit to our website collected through use of cookies, including cookies used for analytics and targeted communication purposes, after your approval, as described further down in this information notice.

If you wish to subscribe to our press releases and/or financial reports, you will need to provide us with your e-mail address. Kinnevik does not use your e-mail address for any other purpose than sending press releases and financial reports that you have chosen to subscribe to.

Legal basis

We process your personal data when it is neccessary to fulfil an agreement or a request from you and to respond to questions asked through our communication functions. We also process your personal data when we have a legitimate and valid interest in processing your personal data, e.g. an interest of supplying press releases, financial reports and or other information to you or an interest of developing and improving our services and our website. Processing of personal data for marketing and targeted advertising purposes, including the use of marketing and targeting cookies, is based on your consent. We also process your personal data when required to fulfil an obligation in law or to respond to a request from an authority.

We will only process your personal data for the purpose for which we collected such data. Should we need to process your personal data for any other purpose or a purpose which requires your consent under data protection legislation, we will inform you of such purpose respectively obtain your consent in advance.

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. Your personal data will be shared with other companies within the Kinnevik group and may be shared with third parties if required under law, regulations or an official decision by a relevant authority. 

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 and marketing. Such partners may include providers of advertising and social media platforms. 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.

Storage period

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.
