In addition to identifying the legitimate interest, we have also balanced this interest against your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data.

9. What categories of recipients can we share your personal data with?

Dentme may disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients. For a detailed list of the recipients to whom we have disclosed data, please contact us using the contact details provided in section 2.

 

9.1. Data processors

Dentme may engage actors to process your personal data on our behalf as data processors. Such parties may only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions. We enter into data processing agreements with these actors and ensure that a high level of protection is ensured to protect your personal data. We use the following types of data processors:

IT and system providers - Dentme may share your personal data with IT and system providers to manage the necessary operation, technical support and maintenance of our IT services.

Marketing and Communications Agencies - Dentme may share your personal data with marketing and communications agencies engaged to assist Dentme with marketing communications to customers and potential customers. For example, Dentme may share your personal information with Klaviyo, Inc. to send marketing communications.

Accounting firm - Dentme may share your personal data contained in invoices and accounting information with our accounting firm, which has been engaged in order for Dentme to fulfill its obligations under the Accounting Act.

 

9.2. Independent data controllers

Dentme may share personal data with parties that are independent controllers. Independent controllers means that an actor independently determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (i.e. the means of processing personal data). When sharing with these actors, each actor's privacy notice applies to the processing of personal data they carry out and they have an obligation to inform you about the processing.

Authorities and the judiciary - we may in some cases need to disclose data to courts, crime prevention authorities and investigative authorities (e.g. the police) in accordance with the law or in the context of legal proceedings. In some cases, we may also need to disclose data to other parties in the context of legal proceedings or similar. Such disclosure is based on a balance of interests as a legal basis or to fulfill a legal obligation under law.

External advisors - we may share your personal data with external advisors such as accounting firms or law firms as required by law or to obtain advice. These actors usually act as independent data controllers and disclosure is usually based on a balance of interests as a legal basis.

Acquiring company - if Dentme is to be restructured (e.g. split into several different businesses), or if a third party wishes to acquire Dentme or our customer database, Dentme will disclose your personal data to the acquiring company. This may also happen in the event of a merger or if Dentme is liquidated or goes bankrupt (in such cases to the liquidator). In such cases, the acquiring company will continue to use your personal data for the same purposes as set out in this Privacy Notice, unless you are informed otherwise in connection with the transfer. This assumes, however, that the acquiring company is engaged in similar activities as Dentme. Some personal data will also be shared with other companies as part of the process to enable a restructuring, sale or liquidation of Dentme or our assets. This is further described in section 5.13.

Social media - if you contact Dentme via our corporate social media accounts, the social media platforms will process your personal data in accordance with their respective privacy notices as independent data controllers.

Cookies - if you visit our website, we may collect and share your personal data with other parties, such as Meta and TikTok. These parties usually act as independent data controllers. This is described in more detail in sections 5.9 and 5.10.

Other healthcare providers. If you, as a Dentme customer, seek care from a healthcare provider other than Dentme, this other healthcare provider may have access to your medical record at Dentme, provided that the medical record is relevant for that healthcare provider to be able to provide you with care and provided that you have consented to it. For more information on electronic health records and your rights in dental care, see section 11.8.

 

10. Where do we process your personal data?

Dentme aims to process your personal data within the EU/EEA. In certain circumstances, we may need to transfer your personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA ("Third Country"). In case of a transfer to a Third Country, Dentme will always ensure that the same high level of protection applies also when the data is transferred to a Third Country.

Please contact us via the contact details provided in section 2 for more information on our transfers or to obtain a copy of the relevant documentation regarding the safeguards in place. You can also consult the website of the Data Protection Authority for more information on what is required under the GDPR for transfers to Third Countries and appropriate safeguards.

Adequate level of protection for transfers outside the EU/EEA

We may transfer your personal data to recipients in countries that the European Commission has decided ensure an adequate level of protection. This means that the European Commission has assessed that the level of protection in this country is equivalent to that in the EU/EEA and that it is therefore possible to transfer personal data to such a country without taking additional security measures. You can find more information on which countries are covered by adequacy decisions on the European Commission website. The European Commission has decided that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection provided that the recipient is subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework ("DPF"). Dentme may transfer your personal data to the US and in such cases ensures that the receiving party (the data importer) is certified under the DPF, if no other adequate safeguards are in place.

Appropriate safeguards for transfers outside the EU/EEA

If your personal data is transferred to a Third Country outside the EU/EEA that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or certified under the DPF, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. Appropriate safeguards may be that the party transferring the personal data to a Third Country (the data exporter) and the party importing personal data into a Third Country (the data importer) have entered into the European Commission's standard contractual clauses for international transfers or that other safeguards have been put in place. In case these safeguards are not sufficient, we may ensure that additional contractual, technical or organizational measures are also taken to ensure a substantially equivalent level of protection as in the EU for the personal data transferred to the Third Country. You can find more information on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses on the website of the European Data Protection Supervisor.

 

11.Your rights

11.1.Our responsibility for your rights

Dentme, as data controller, is responsible for ensuring that your personal data is processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and for enabling you to exercise your rights under the GDPR and the Patient Data Act. You can find more information about your rights in the sections below and on the website of the Data Protection Authority. You can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in section 2 of this Privacy Notice to exercise your rights. If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please do not forget to specify which right is being requested.

 

11.2.Your rights of access, rectification, erasure and restriction

Under the GDPR, you have certain rights in relation to the data we process about you which are described below. Some of these rights apply under certain conditions, which you can read more about below. You have the right to request the following rights.

Access to your personal data ("register extract"). To enable you to check whether your personal data is being processed and whether the processing is lawful, you have the right to request an extract from the register. This means that you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of the personal data we process about you free of charge. If you are only interested in a specific type of data or data processed for a specific purpose (e.g. direct marketing), please indicate this in your request. The extract from the register will also provide you with information about the processing, such as why we are processing your personal data, how long the personal data will be stored (if possible), to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed, etc. For any additional copies you request, we are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee to cover our administrative costs. If you make a request in electronic format, such as by email, we will provide you with the information in a commonly used electronic format, unless you request otherwise.

Correction or completion of your personal data. If we process personal data that is inaccurate, you have the right to request its rectification. We will also, on our own initiative, correct or delete data that we discover to be inaccurate. You also have the right to complete incomplete personal data by providing a supplementary statement.

 

Erasure of your personal data. In some cases, you have the right to have your personal data erased. This applies in the case that:

- the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed,

- we process your personal data based on your consent and you withdraw your consent, unless there is another legal basis for processing the personal data,

- we process your data for direct marketing purposes and you object to this processing,

- you object to our processing of your data based on a balance of interests or on grounds of public interest and we have no legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms,

- we have processed the personal data unlawfully

- we have a legal obligation to delete the personal data.

There are exceptions to the right to erasure. There may be legal requirements or other compelling reasons why we cannot delete your personal data. An overriding reason may be, for example, to establish, exercise or defend ourselves against legal claims, or, for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes.

 

Restriction of processing. This means that we temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data so that it is only processed for certain limited purposes. We will inform you before ending the restriction of processing. You have the right to request restriction when:

 

- you consider your data to be inaccurate and you have requested rectification under point 11.2(b), while we are investigating the accuracy of the data,

- the processing is unlawful and you do not want the data to be deleted,

- we, as the controller, no longer need to process the personal data for the purposes of the processing but you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or

- you have objected to the use under section 11.3, pending verification whether our legitimate grounds outweigh your legitimate grounds.

 

We will take all reasonable steps to notify all recipients who have received personal data under Section 9 if we have rectified, erased or restricted access to your personal data after you have requested us to do so, unless this is impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort. Upon your request, we will inform you to whom we have disclosed personal data.

 

11.3.Your right to object to our processing of your personal data

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data that is carried out on the basis of a balance of interests or public interest as a legal basis (see section 5). You must provide reasons for your objection that relate to your particular situation. If you object to processing, we will only continue processing if we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing which override your specific grounds, other interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

 

11.4.Your right to object to direct marketing including profiling

If you do not want us to process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling carried out for direct marketing purposes, you always have the right to object to such processing including profiling by contacting us. Once we have received your objection, we will stop processing your personal data for this purpose. In case you receive marketing mailings from us, you can also click on our unsubscribe link which you will find at the bottom of each mailing.

 

11.5. Your right to withdraw your consent

If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent as a legal basis (see section 5), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. We are then not entitled to continue the processing in question unless there is another legal basis for the processing. You can find our contact details in section 2 of this Privacy Notice.

11.6.Your right to data portability

You have the right to data portability when we process your personal data by automated means and if we base our processing of your personal data on the legal basis of consent or for the performance of a contract you have entered into with us. Your right to data portability means that you have a right to obtain part of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those personal data to another controller. You may also request that we transfer your personal data directly to another controller provided that such direct transfer is technically feasible.

 

11.7.Your right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority

You always have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. This applies in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or where the infringement took place. The supervisory authority in Sweden is the Swedish Data Protection Authority (IMY). You can contact IMY viaimy@imy.se or via the contact details provided on the IMY website.

 

11.8. Your rights in dental care

As a Dentme customer, you have certain rights in dental care as

of patient, which are described in the following.

 

Coherent health and social care documentation. Coherent health and social care documentation is an electronic system that allows a health or social care provider to give or receive access, through direct access or other electronic disclosure, to data held by other health or social care providers. As a patient, you have the option to object to data being made available to other health or care providers through such documentation.

Read your medical record. If you want to access your patient record, please contact Dentmes customer service via the chat on our website or by emailing us atinfo@dentme.com. Once we have processed your request, we will make your medical record copy available to you in a secure message via "My accounts" onDentme.com. You will receive an email notification when the copy is ready to be read. If you have any particular preferences about how you want to receive the record, please let us know when you request your copy.

Blocking data in certain cases. As a patient, you have the right in certain cases to block medical record data from electronic accessibility to healthcare professionals from other units or care processes within Dentme's operations. The healthcare professional may then not access the data in question, unless the conditions for emergency access under the Patient Data Act are met. However, blocked data can be associated with risks. If a professional is prevented from having access to potentially available and adequate information about an individual patient that is of importance for good and appropriate care, there is a risk of qualitatively poorer care.

Log extract. As a patient, you have the right to receive, upon request, information about what direct and electronic access to personal data about you has occurred (i.e. a so-called "log extract"). This means that you have the right to know if and when someone has read your medical record.

Claim for damages. In case of processing of personal data in violation of the GDPR and regulations supplementing the GDPR, you may be entitled to damages. See Article 82 of the GDPR and Chapter 7, Section 1 of the Act (2018:218) with supplementary provisions to the EU General Data Protection Regulation for more information.

National or regional quality register. In the health sector, there are quality registers that are used to systematically and continuously develop and ensure the quality of care. You have the right to have your data erased from such a register at any time, including the right to object to the processing even after it has started.

12.We protect your personal data

You should always feel safe when we process your personal data. We have put in place both technical and organizational security measures, including access restrictions and regular internal controls, to protect your personal data against, for example, unauthorized access, alteration and loss. In the event of a data breach that could significantly affect you or your personal data, such as a risk of fraud or identity theft, we will contact you to explain what has happened and advise you on how to reduce the risk of potentially harmful effects.

Furthermore, the confidentiality provisions in Chapter 6 of the Patient Safety Act (2010:659) apply to Dentme's activities. This means that anyone who is or has been a member of our healthcare staff may not unauthorizedly disclose what he or she has learned about an individual's state of health or other personal circumstances in the course of his or her work. This duty of confidentiality applies unless you as a patient have given your consent for information to be disclosed or if there is legal support for the disclosure of information.
