2-LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
2.1 Processing of personal data requires a legal basis. The most predominant legal basis for processing personal data within Cedar Oxygen are:
2.2 Consent
2.2.1 If the collection, registration and further processing of personal data on clients, suppliers, other business relations and employees are based on such a person’s consent to the processing of personal data for one or more specific purposes, Cedar Oxygen shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of such personal data.
2.2.2 Consent shall be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. The data subject must actively consent to the processing of personal data by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, to him/her.
2.2.3 A request for consent shall be presented in a manner, which is clearly distinguishable from other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language.
2.2.4 To process special categories of personal data (sensitive personal data) the consent shall also be explicit.
2.2.5 The data subject is entitled to withdraw his/her consent at any time and upon such withdrawal, we will stop collecting or processing personal data about that person unless we are obligated or entitled to do so based on another legal basis.
2.3 Necessary for the performance of a contract:
2.3.1 It will be legitimate to collect and process personal data relevant to the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

2.4 Comply with a legal obligation
2.4.1 Cedar Oxygen has to comply with various legal obligations and requirements, which have basis in Union or Member State law. Such legal obligation, to which Cedar Oxygen is subject, may be sufficient as a legitimate basis for processing of personal data.
2.4.2 Such legal obligations include obligations to collect, register and/or make available certain types of information relating to employees, clients, etc. Such legal requirements will then form the legal basis for us to process the personal data, however, it is important to note whether the provisions allowing or requiring Cedar Oxygen to process certain personal data also set out requirements in relation to storage, disclosure and deletion.
2.5 Legitimate interests
2.5.1 Data will only be processed where it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Cedar Oxygen, and these interests or fundamental rights are not overridden by the interests of the data subject. Cedar Oxygen will, when deciding to process data ensures that the legitimate interests override the rights and freedoms of the individual and that the processing would not cause unwarranted harm. For instance, it is a legitimate interest of Cedar Oxygen to process personal data on potential client in order to expand the business and develop new business relations. The data subject must be given information on the specific legitimate interest if a processing is based on this provision, cf. section 4.1 below.

If this cannot be guaranteed, Cedar Oxygen will choose another data processor.
3.3 Data processing agreements
