What kind of data we process
Excedo processes two kinds of information about our customers - customer data and traffic data.

Customer data : data related to the service/product we provide to the customer, for example user’s name, address, email address, phone number, username and password as well as professional title/role.

Should these terms not be met in third countries, we ask you as a customer for specific consent for transfer.

User's exercise of individual rights
In accordance with applicable data protection legislation, customer’s users have a number of rights that allow the user to get information about and control of their personal data. Because it is important that it is the registered, ie the individual user whose data we process, who exercises the individual rights, we may request the customer to assist. In that case, the customer shall identify the individual user, specify the rights that the user wishes to exercise and the additional information necessary to manage the request and fulfill the user's rights. We respond to a request from users without unnecessary delay and usually within one month.
