Unless we tell you otherwise, the Sandvik company that is the “controller” of your personal data is the one you have a relationship with – for example:

If you are a Board Member or Shareholder, the Sandvik company in which you are a shareholder or a board member;

If you are a Customer, Supplier, Commercial or Administrative Intermediary, the Sandvik company which has a business relationship with the organization you represent or are a contact person to;

Sandvik is global. Many countries have different rules about what we can do with your personal data. We aim for a consistent high standard to the way we manage your personal data, so this statement applies globally. We explain below when the rules might be different in particular countries (for example, where your rights may not be exactly the same).

In some cases, the local Sandvik company may provide you with further information to supplement the information in this statement.

What types of personal data do we use and why?

We collect and use the personal data about you described below. Usually we collect this data from you directly. Sometimes Sandvik collects data about you from another source. This could happen, for example, when our Business Partners or Suppliers provide us with information about you. We also collect personal data from public sources such as social media. We will provide more information about the third-party sources in the specific cases where this happens.
