1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 In order to service our clients ACE HOLDINGS
LIMITED we needs to collect personal data
from our clients and/or potential clients, contact persons at suppliers and/or other
business partners. The ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED also processes personal data about employees for
the purpose of personnel administration.
In light of the above, ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED wants to ensure a high level of data protection
as privacy is a cornerstone in gaining and maintaining the trust of our clients and/or
potential clients, contact persons at suppliers and/or other business partners and thus,
ensuring ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED ’s future business. The same applies to the processing of
personal data about the employees.
Protection of personal data requires among other things that appropriate technical and
organisational measures are implemented to demonstrate a high level of data protection. the
ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED has adopted a number of internal and external data protection policies,
which must be followed by employees of the ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED.
Additionally, the ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED will monitor, audit and document internal compliance
with the data protection policies and applicable statutory data protection requirements,
including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
The ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED will also take the necessary steps in order to enhance data
protection compliance within the organisation. These steps include the assignment of
responsibilities, raising awareness and training within data protection of staff involved in
processing operations. Please note that this data protection guideline will be reviewed from
time to time to take into account any new obligations. Retention of personal data will be
governed by our most recent retention policy.
This data protection guideline, along with guidelines for processing of personal data,
constitute the overall framework for processing of personal data within the ACE HOLDINGS
LIMITED.
1.2 “Personal data” is any information which may be related to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, location data, phone number, age, gender, etc. Such personal data can for instance concern an employee, a job applicant, client/potential client, supplier and other business partners.
1.3 Personal data can be categorized as ordinary
non-sensitive personal data or special categories of personal data (sensitive personal
data). Special categories of personal data are exhaustively outlined in the GDPR and include
personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or
philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data,
bio-metric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning
health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation. Ordinary
non-sensitive personal data include all information that is not categorized as special
categories of personal data (sensitive personal data). Such information can be name,
address, telephone number, employee id, information about education, etc. Certain ordinary
non-sensitive personal data may be considered confidential. This may, for instance, include
information on income and wealth, and information on internal family relationships/matters.
Confidential, ordinary non-sensitive data are normally subject to further security measures.
The category of personal data will have an impact on which legal basis the processing of
such personal data can be based on. Special rules apply to the processing of data about
criminal offences and CPR-numbers. The various legal bases are described below in clause 2.
1.4 Although information regarding companies/businesses is not as such personal data, please note that information relating to contact persons within such companies/businesses, e.g. name, title, work email, work phone number, etc. is considered personal data. However, personal data relating to a personally owned and run business are considered as personal data even if the personal data concern the business. Such personal data are considered as relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
1.5 ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED collects and uses personal data for a variety of legitimate business purposes, including establishment and management of customer and supplier relationships, completion of purchase agreements, recruitment and management of all aspects of terms and conditions of employment, communication, fulfillment of legal obligations or requirements, performance of contracts, providing services to clients, etc. When carrying out such processing activities, the first step is to ensure that the general principles relating to the processing of personal data are complied with.

relating to the processing of personal data, the processing of the personal data must also
be based on a legal basis. The legal basis will depend on, which category of personal data
is being processed.

as, name, address, email, telephone number, credit card information, etc., within ACE
HOLDINGS LIMITED are:
In certain cases, if none of the above legal bases can be applied, the ACE HOLDINGS LIMITED
will obtain the data subjects' consent to the processing.
