Privacy policy: data processing and safeguarding of personal information
Who is the data controller?
CheckRent.dk (owned by Tjek Din Leje ApS) is the data controller for the processing of personal information you provide. You can contact CheckRent.dk by the following means:
-
Phone: 71 96 84 00
Email: contact@checkrent.dk
Address: Bredgade 66, 2 – 1260 København K.
What is the purpose of the processing of your data?
The purpose for CheckRent.dk’s processing of your personal data can be summarised as “statistics, case processing, client administration” and “prevention of money laundering”.
By “statistics, case processing, client administration” is meant CheckRent.dk, and Tjek Din Leje ApS’ processing of your personal information as part of our investigation into and recording of the conditions of your lease, for statistical and reference purposes, as well as for investigation into potential rent cases and/or the conclusion of a contract and the performance of one or more services at your behest.
By “prevention of money laundering” is meant CheckRent.dk and Tjek Din Leje ApS’ processing of your identifying information in connection with adherence to any and all applicable anti-money laundering laws and corresponding laws to counteract economic crime and terrorist activities.
On what basis is this processing performed?
CheckRent.dk and Tjek Din Leje ApS’ processing of your personal information for the purpose of “statistics, case processing, client administration” is performed based partially on article 6, paragraph 1, item b of the General Data Protection Regulation, which states:
-
“Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.”
-
“f) Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.”
and
“47) The legitimate interests of a controller, including those of a controller to which the personal data may be disclosed, or of a third party, may provide a legal basis for processing, provided that the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding, taking into consideration the reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the controller. Such legitimate interest could exist for example where there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller in situations such as where the data subject is a client or in the service of the controller. At any rate the existence of a legitimate interest would need careful assessment including whether a data subject can reasonably expect at the time and in the context of the collection of the personal data that processing for that purpose may take place. The interests and fundamental rights of the data subject could in particular override the interest of the data controller where personal data are processed in circumstances where data subjects do not reasonably expect further processing. Given that it is for the legislator to provide by law for the legal basis for public authorities to process personal data, that legal basis should not apply to the processing by public authorities in the performance of their tasks. The processing of personal data strictly necessary for the purposes of preventing fraud also constitutes a legitimate interest of the data controller concerned. The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.”
CheckRent.dk’s processing of your personal information is further used for the purpose “prevention of money laundering”, which is performed based on article 6, paragraph 1, item c of the General Data Protection Regulation: “Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.” The legal obligation to which CheckRent.dk and its partners are subject is given in chapter 3 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and in other places.
