Personal data is only retained for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes, and its use must be consistent with the purpose of the processing. Only relevant personal data is collected, and care is taken to ensure that it is not excessive in relation to what is necessary. Personal data is not retained longer than required. Care is taken to ensure that personal data is always accurate, correct, and regularly updated.

Purpose of Processing
Rue de Net processes personal data both as a data controller for its employees and as a data processor for its customers. When processing personal data, Rue de Net always adheres to the fundamental legal principles governing the processing of personal data.
Main Personal Data Processed
As a data controller, Rue de Net processes information about employees, applicants, and contractors. The processing is based on laws and regulations, individuals’ consent, contracts, and the legitimate interests of all parties involved.
As a data processor, Rue de Net processes personal data in accordance with its partners’ data processing agreements, as well as for the purpose of providing the best possible service to its partners. Rue de Net maintains contact information for recipients of marketing material for the purpose of sharing information with partners. Recipients may request to be removed from this list at any time. Such requests should be sent to ruedenet@ruedenet.is. Rue de Net exercises moderation when collecting personal data and ensures that personal data is never retained longer than necessary in accordance with the purpose of the processing.
Disclosure of Personal Data
Rue de Net will not disclose personal data to third parties unless informed consent has been obtained from the data subject. In all cases, the security of the information will be ensured, and disclosure will comply with the applicable legal provisions at all times.
Retention of Personal Data
Rue de Net retains employees’ personal data as the data controller for the duration of the employment contract with the individual and in accordance with other applicable laws in the country that require the retention of employee personal data. Rue de Net retains personal data as a data processor for as long as stipulated in the processing agreements. Rue de Net reserves the right to retain information after the contractual relationship has ended if Rue de Net considers there to be legitimate interests, for example, if the company believes it may need to assert a claim or respond to a claim.

- Facilitating data subjects in exercising their rights by providing all necessary information to the supervisory authority.
Security of Personal Data
Rue de Net places great emphasis on security in the processing of personal data and, for this purpose, has implemented organisational and technical security measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems.
Furthermore, Rue de Net prioritises information and data security by ensuring employee awareness of data protection.

If a security breach occurs where there is a possibility that personal data has been accessed by unauthorised parties, such incidents are handled in accordance with Article 27 of the Act on Data Protection and the Processing of Personal Data.
