- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — to process your orders, deliver products, provide warranty service, manage payment, and fulfil our distributor and reseller agreements.
- Compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — to keep accounting, VAT and tax records as required by Danish law (typically 5 years), and to fulfil EU-MDR vigilance obligations.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — to operate and improve the website, prevent fraud, communicate with B2B customers about products and offers relevant to their professional activity, manage business relationships, and enforce our rights.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for non-essential cookies, optional analytics tracking, and any marketing communications where consent is required by law.

6 Data we share with third parties
We share personal data only where necessary, on a need-to-know basis, with carefully selected service providers who act as our data processors under written GDPR-compliant data-processing agreements:
- Hosting & e-commerce — Odoo S.A., Belgium / EU;
- Payment processing — credit card and bank-transfer processing handled by regulated PSPs (e.g. Stripe, Adyen, our acquiring bank);

We do not sell, rent or trade personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
7 International data transfers
Some of our service providers (notably Google, Stripe, and certain shipping carriers) operate or process data outside the European Economic Area, primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on:
- The European Commission's adequacy decisions (e.g. EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, UK adequacy decision); or
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, supplemented where necessary by additional technical and organisational safeguards.
8 How long we keep your data
- Account & transaction data — for the duration of the business relationship plus 5 years thereafter, to satisfy Danish accounting and tax record-keeping requirements (Bogføringsloven);
- Warranty & product-safety records — for the working life of the product plus 10 years, to enable post-market surveillance and traceability under EU-MDR;
- Newsletter & marketing data — until you unsubscribe, plus a short suppression window to honour opt-out;
- Website analytics & cookie data — typically 14 months (Google Analytics default), with IP address anonymised on collection;
- Communications & support records — typically 3 years from the last interaction;
- Data we are required to retain by law — for the period specified by the relevant law.
9 Cookies & analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are required for the website to function (session management, basket, security). Analytical cookies (Google Analytics 4) help us understand how the site is used, with IP anonymisation enabled. We do not currently use third-party advertising or behavioural-tracking cookies.
You may accept or decline non-essential cookies via the cookie banner shown on first visit, and you may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by adjusting your browser settings to block cookies.
10 Marketing communications
Where you are an existing business customer or you have subscribed to our newsletter, we may send you periodic communications about new products, technical guides, trade-show appearances and similar topics relevant to your professional activity. Every email contains a one-click unsubscribe link. You may also opt out at any time by emailing info@ergodenta.dk.
11 Data security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. Measures include encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), encryption of stored payment card data at the PSP, role-based access controls within ErgoDenta, secure password practices, and periodic review of supplier-side security postures. No information system is impregnable; you should also adopt good practice on your side (strong passwords, secure devices, prompt notification of any suspected breach).
12 Your GDPR rights
Subject to the conditions and exceptions set out in the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- Rectification — to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erasure ("right to be forgotten") — where we no longer have a lawful basis to keep the data;
- Restriction of processing — to limit how we use the data while a query is investigated;
- Data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format and have it transferred to another controller where technically feasible;
- Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including direct marketing;
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing);
- Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects on you. We do not currently make any automated decisions of this kind.
13 How to exercise your rights
Send a written request to info@ergodenta.dk with the subject line "GDPR request" and a brief description of the right you wish to exercise. We will respond within one calendar month. We may need to verify your identity before disclosing or acting on personal data. The service is free of charge except where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case a reasonable fee may be charged or the request may be refused with reasons.
14 Complaints to the supervisory authority
If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet):
- Datatilsynet, Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby, Denmark
