General principles

NF Fleet understands your concerns regarding the confidentiality of your personal information. Below we describe how we acquire and use that information and outline your rights. Please read this carefully, so that the process is as fair, transparent and secure as possible.

 

The following principles are central to how we process your personal information:

• Transparency and fairness: When we collect and process your personal information, we inform you as to who collects and receives these data, and the reasons for this. When required by law, we always seek your prior consent (e.g. before collecting any sensitive information or sending any direct marketing material). We never use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes outlined here.
• Legitimacy: NF Fleet does not collect or process personal information without a lawful reason. We use your personal information only for appropriate business purposes (e.g. to provide services, manage relationships with customers, manage customer vehicle fleets, and perform accurate invoicing, or for marketing activities, profiling to better serve customers, to conduct satisfaction surveys or draft reports and comply with our legal obligations).
• Minimization: We only collect the personal information strictly necessary for data processing, as set out in this document. We collect sensitive information only where relevant. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal data on record is accurate, complete and up to date.
• Privacy: We endeavor to ensure privacy when implementing personal data processing. To this end we also carry out privacy impact assessments to ensure that our safeguards are appropriate and that your information is protected.

We store your personal information regarding the fulfillment of a contract with NF Fleet in accordance with the limitation period for civil law claims.

In case of litigation, we may keep your personal information until the end of such legal action, including any potential periods for appeal. We will then either delete or archive it according to the law in force.

For marketing purposes, your information is stored for the period of validity of the consent and for one year after our last contact.

For other purposes, including statutory documentation and compliance with legal obligations, the information is stored for as long as required by law.

In any event, your personal information will not be kept in a form that allows you to be identified for any longer than necessary by NF Fleet for achieving the purposes for which it was collected or processed, or according to the relevant laws in force.

How do we ensure the security and integrity of your personal information?

We protect your data through technical and organizational security measures (including education and training of relevant personnel) against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Only those teams and employees who need to know your information within our company can access it. We make sure to implement administration rights and policies within our company, and we take all measures to ensure that employees, advisers and service providers keep your files confidential.

How can you express your preferences on the use of your personal information?

To exercise the rights set out in the following section at any time, please contact NF Fleet’s Data Protection Officer on Nfpersonvern.no@nffleet.com, who will handle your request.

Withdrawal. In cases where you have given your previous consent for your information to be processed, you can withdraw that consent any moment. Revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the withdrawal.

Access. You can request access to your personal information we maintain about you. If you make such a request, we will provide you with all the information on the purposes of the processing, categories of data processed, categories of recipients, data retention term, your rights to rectify, delete or restrict the data accessed if applicable, etc.

• if you wish NF Fleet to keep your personal information because you need it for your defense in the context of legal claims
  
  
• if you have objected to the processing but NF Fleet needs to check whether it has legitimate grounds for such processing which may override your own rights.

 

Rectification / Erasure. You may also request that we correct, amend, erase, any information which is incomplete, out of date or inaccurate.

You can request the deletion of your personal information in the following cases:

• if your personal information is no longer necessary for the purpose of the data processing;
  
  
• if you have withdrawn your consent for data processing based exclusively on such consent;
  
  
• if you objected to the data processing;
  
  
• if the personal information must be erased to comply with a legal obligation applicable to NF Fleet. We will take reasonable steps to inform other NF Fleet entities which might be involved in the data processing of such erasure.
  
  

Objection. In certain cases, you have the right to object to our otherwise legitimate processing of your personal data. You may also object to the processing of your personal information at any time when used for marketing purposes or profiling to send you targeted advertising.

Cookies and other Tracking Tools

In order to provide you with a better experience, when you visit our website or use our  mobile applications, we collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web  beacons (e.g. Google Analytics).

If you use our web sites, we may collect information about the browser you are using, and your browsing behavior.

If you use our mobile app, we may collect your GPS location, subject to your consent when required. We might also look at how often you use the app and where you downloaded it.

Vehicle Operations

When your company uses car leasing services with us, we may collect information about the vehicle (such as the vehicle registration plate, or the vehicle last revision) and the driver's behavior (such as the average speed), to provide the car leasing services in accordance with the contract and invoice you or your company.

Legal Basis for the processing of personal data

All collection and processing of personal data must take place on the basis of a legal basis. Your personal data may be processed in order to fulfill an agreement with you as a customer and fulfill our obligations under the agreement, see Article 6, para. 1 (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Your personal data may also be processed for marketing and customer satisfaction purposes, if you have given your explicit consent, see Article 6 (1). 1 (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation. We also process information about your behavior on our website, your interest in our offers and products as well as your interaction with us for the purpose of fulfilling our obligation to provide you with personal offers.

Your personal data may also be processed on the basis of a balance of interests, see Article 6 (1). 1 (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. This applies to e.g. in relation to providing the opportunity for the fleet management services associated with the leasing agreement, which are necessary to be able to communicate with the user of the car.

Balancing interests also constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with the administration and handling of insurance issues and damages, as NF Fleet has a legitimate interest in ensuring that the leased vehicle is properly insured and that any damages are reported and processed.

In certain cases, NF Fleet has a legal obligation to process personal data, see Article 6, para. 1 (c) of the General Data Protection Regulation, e.g. to comply with the requirements of accounting and tax laws and the law to combat money laundering. All this processing of personal data takes place in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In certain cases, we may also process information about your national identity number, see section 11, section 2, points (1), (3) and (4) of the Personal Data Protection Act. This applies, for example, if you enter into a private leasing agreement with NF Fleet.

Who do we share your personal information with?

We understand that you do not want us to provide your personal information directly to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent. However, we occasionally need to use partners or processors to provide you with the requested services and a better experience, for the purposes described above. We therefore limit our sharing of your personal information on a need-to-know basis as follows:

• with internal business departments such as sales, customer care/quality department, marketing, IT services, support and maintenance. Inside the NF Fleet Group, we may share your personal data with other NF Fleet entities, who may only use your personal information in compliance with this Policy.  
• with our suppliers and partners, including e.g. dealers, workshops, tire suppliers, fuel suppliers, etc.
• with our service providers, such as data hosting service providers, call centers, data administrators, located in France or within the European Economic Area and instructed to only use your personal information in accordance with our instructions.
• with unaffiliated marketing partners, but only if you have given us your consent.
• where needed to affect the sale or transfer of business assets, in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding, to enforce our rights, protect our property, or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions. 
• when required to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena, including to law enforcement agencies and courts in the countries where we operate.
• with the insurance company where the vehicle is insured, and with any counterparties' insurance companies, if NF Fleet is legally obliged to do so.

Please note that we may also use and disclose personal information about you that is not personally identifiable i.e. personal information in an aggregate form that no longer identifies you. 

(Where applicable) Delivery of telemetry data

Legal basis: In situations of violation of the Traffic Act, NF Fleet will provide the necessary data if the necessary consent has been obtained from the employer or if there are legitimate interests (necessary to fulfill our obligations as owner of the vehicle).

Personal data (in connection with Telemetry data) can be shared in order to arrange maintenance and service of the vehicle and service of the Telemetry unit. The data can also be shared with relevant subcontractors or a public authority (when dealing with criminal offenses).

 

If the collection is optional or mandatory

When NF Fleet collects personal information directly from you and processes your information for marketing purposes, it is voluntary to disclose the information. The consequence of not disclosing the information is that you can not get information about offers, benefits, partners, etc.

When collecting and processing personal information for the purpose of entering into, fulfilling and administering the leasing agreement with you or your company, it is mandatory for NF Fleet to collect the information for the purpose of entering into and fulfilling the contract. If you do not provide the information, we will not be able to enter into or fulfill the lease agreement.

How long do we keep the personal information?

We retain your personal information collected for the purposes and under the conditions described above and for a duration limited to what is strictly necessary.

How can you contact us or the supervisory authority to lodge a complaint?

If you have any questions, complaints, or comments regarding this Data Privacy Policy or our information collection practices, please contact us by writing, or sending an email to: NF Fleet’s Data Protection Officer:

Nfpersonvern.no@nffleet.com

You can also lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority if you have concerns about the conditions for NF Fleet's processing of your personal data.

What happens when we change this Data Privacy Policy?

Our Data Privacy Policy may change from time to time to reflect changes in the way we processing your personal information. However, these changes will remain fully compliant with applicable law. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. We will notify you of any material changes as required by law.
