3.1. General
We only process personal data about you as necessary for the administration of the relationship with you, such as e.g. an investor, customer, supplier or partner relationship.

Specifically, this may involve processing personal data such as name, address, telephone number and other contact information, national identity number, position and role, employer, account number, customer/supplier history (what was purchased when, etc.), information about meetings, communication and correspondence with IPC representatives, logins and activity on the IPC website, complaints and disputes, payment history, credit checks and information required for e.g. KYC, contract execution or tax purposes.

The personal data held by IPC is normally provided by you or by the companies/organisations on whose behalf you act. Personal data about you may also be generated through your own activities in the context of the relationship between IPC and you, including in connection with a purchase, sale or deliveries to/from IPC, or communication between you and IPC. In some cases, IPC may supplement such information with data from external sources, for example in connection with credit checks, agent due diligence, the collection of supplementary information on the internet, etc.

3.2. The Use of Cookies
We use cookies for the purposes of facilitating basic website functionality, enhancing the user experience and to collect statistics on our visitors. Cookies are used to store certain data, e.g. to keep track of pages you visit on our website, identify the device you use and remembering settings such as language preferences for your next visit. When you access the website we may receive information from you such as IP address, operating system and the browser you use, for example for statistical purposes or for system administration purpose. This information does generally not include data that allows for individual identification of the information to a specific user.

We may embed content from third parties, such as video content and application forms. These third parties may use cookies and receive information collected from those cookies. Please refer directly to each third party website for more information on how they use cookies.

4. Legal Basis
The Company will sometimes obtain your consent to the processing of personal data, and will then have legal basis to process the personal data based on your consent. Personal data may also be processed where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or your principal or in order to take steps at the request of you prior to entering into a contract. Legal basis may also be based on legitimate interests of IPC in each case ensuring that IPC (and all other parties involved) understand the conflicts of interests that may arise as a result of our processing of your personal data. Legal basis for the processing may also be based on IPC’s legal or regulatory requirement to process the data. Furthermore, we might in some instances process your personal data where such processing is required to protect the vital interest of you or of another person or where such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

5. Information to You
IPC practices openness about its processing of personal data. You shall when required by law be informed of the processing of your personal data and this privacy notice.

6. Personal Data Relating to Other Individuals
We might receive personal data relating to third parties from you. In those circumstances, it might not be appropriate for us to provide them with a privacy notice detailing how we use their personal data. Before sending us any personal data on third parties, you must therefore ensure that you have provided the relevant third parties with any necessary privacy notices in connection with our processing of their personal data.

7. Recipients – Access Restrictions
IPC restricts access to your data to personnel who require such access for the purposes specified in section 4 above. IPC may also share such data with sub-suppliers and other partners and, when specifically required, with advisers, auditors, lawyers, IT consultants and others.

8. Use of Processors and Transfer Abroad
IPC may use suppliers (processors) to assist with the processing of the personal data about you. This may occur, for example, when IT operations or the back-up of data are outsourced to an external supplier or to subsidiaries of IPC. The Company may also transfer personal customer data abroad, including to non-EU/EEA countries whose data privacy laws do not offer the same level of protection as under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The typical reasons for such transfers include the use of external data storage services. The use of processors and transfers of data abroad may also occur because the controller Company is part of the IPC group, and that other parts of the IPC group may assist this entity with the processing of personal data. All of IPC’s use of processors and transfers of personal data abroad will comply with applicable statutory requirements and the Company’s guidelines. The transfer of personal data abroad will only take place if there is a legal basis for such transfer. An overview of the Company’s use of processors and transfers of personal data abroad is provided by the Company upon request.

9. Use of Third Party Links
The website may include links or registration forms to third party website. Clicking on those links and/or providing information in forms related to third parties may allow third parties to collect and/or share data about you. Data processed under this section are not controlled or accessible by IPC and we encourage you to read the privacy notice on each third party website you visit or access from our website.

10. Duration of Data Storage
Personal data related to you will only be stored for as long as necessary for the purpose of the processing.

11. Personal Data Protection
The Company has implemented the technical and organisational security measures to ensure that your personal data is processed in a secure manner. The security measures are considered adequate by IPC.
