Which personal data is processed by SF Studios and from which source does the personal data originate? 

We will process different personal data about you depending on (i) the situation in which you have contact with SF Studios, (ii) your choices, including your privacy settings in your device or browser, and (iii) the devises and functions you use. 

Normally, we process personal data in order to contact individuals or business contacts and in this context we usually only process information such as names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and similar contact details. Further, we collect information that you provide us with as well as the content of e-mails that you send to us. If you apply for a position at SF Studios we may also, subject to your prior consent, process information that you have stated in your application, your CV or information obtained from third parties when we conduct reference checks. The personal data that we process usually originates from the individual (e.g. from a job application or from an e-mail) or is stated in agreements that we enter into. However, we may also obtain personal data from entities within our group of companies, our partners, from job recruiters or other sources which are available for the general public such as telephone directories and websites. We also collect information by using cookies on our websites and by using software which is run on your device. For more information about how we use cookies, please click here. Normally, you can decide what personal data we may collect about you. When asked to provide personal data, generally you may refuse to do so. However, if you choose not to provide the personal data that we need in order to interact with you, there is a risk that we will not be able to contact you or that we may not be able to provide you with what you ask for. Please note that if you ask us not to contact you via e-mail, we will keep a copy of your e-mail address in a list of blocked recipients in order to ensure that no future e-mails will be sent to you. 

Why and how do we process your personal data? 

We process personal data in order to cooperate efficiently with our partners, distributors and others who interact with SF Studios as well as for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual and legal obligations. Generally, the processing activities in the context of your visit to and use of our website are based on our legitimate interests to operate an internet website for general information and communication purposes, to optimize our website and to protect it from attacks. Exceptionally, we may process personal data to fulfil our legal obligations, in particular with regard to the relevant authorities in cases of unauthorized interference with our website. In some cases, for example in order to send out an invitation to a film premiere, a film exhibition or an event which you have not previously announced your interest in, we may do so based on our legitimate interest. In other words, we process your personal data after having balanced our interest in using your personal data for the purpose of making such invitations against your interest of not having the personal data processed by us. We believe that our processing in such situations will not have an unwarranted impact on you. However, if you do not wish to obtain such invitations in the future, please send us an e-mail to: gdpr@sfstudios.se. We may process names, images and recorded material in order to inform about and market our business and our films on our website, on printed material and on social media. We process the personal data on the basis of a balance of interest and SF Studios’ legitimate interest to market its business and films. Please contact us if you would like to know more about how we have conducted this balance of interest If you are a customer, partner or a journalist we may also, based on a legitimate interest, use your contact details in order to send you information and news letters which we believe may be relevant for you as a professional. You can always unsubscribe from such e-mails by sending us an e-mail to: gdpr@sfstudios.se. If you apply for a position or an internship at SF Studios, your personal data will be used to assess your application. The personal data will be processed only after you have provided us with a consent to do so, such consent to be given when you file your application in our recruitment tool. Your personal data will mainly be disclosed to our HR department and to the relevant managers and departments but may also be used when we conduct a reference check. To the extent that we wish to process personal data for another purpose than the purpose for which the data was originally collected, you will be provided with information about this before, or at the time when the personal data is collected, and we will, unless there is another legal basis for such processing, seek your consent for such processing. As an alternative, we may seek your consent after having collected the personal data, but before we process the personal data for a new purpose. 

How may the personal data be shared and transferred?

Generally, the personal data that we collect is used within SF Studios only. However, it may be necessary for us to share your information (i) with other companies within the Bonnier group; (ii) with suppliers that provide services and technical support; (iii) to the extent required to do so due to a court order or pursuant to applicable laws; and (iv) as part of a joint venture, such as a merger or sale of assets. To the extent personal data is shared or transferred to third parties, we make sure that these companies comply with our data protection requirements, or comparable requirements, and are not allowed to use the personal data they receive for any other purpose.

To the extent your personal data is transferred to a third party based outside the EU/EEA, we will take appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to prevent unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data.
