Privacy Policy
Background
At Asiapack Ltd., Member of the Elanders Group, we wish to thank you for visiting our website and expressing interest in our company and the services we can offer you. We are serious about your personal integrity. You should feel safe when you share your personal data with us. For this reason, we have established this policy. It is based on the current data protection laws and clarifies how we work to protect your rights and your integrity.
The purpose of this policy is for you, as a visitor to our website, user of our services or receiver of products we distribute, to gain insight into how we process your personal data, what we use it for, who and under which circumstances we may share it with other parties as well as how you can take advantage of your rights.
What is personal data?
Personal data is information about a natural person that makes a person’s identity known or identifiable. Examples of information considered to be personal data may be a person’s name, address, email address or telephone number. Information which cannot be connected to a natural person is not deemed personal data.
Why do we need your personal data?
For the most part we need your personal data to fulfil our obligations to you. Our main objective is to never process more personal data than is necessary for the purpose, and we strive to always use the least integrity intrusive information possible.
We need your personal data to be able to provide you with good service when, for example, you use our various web-services.
When do we collect your personal data?
Communication
When you contact us via telephone, email or use an online contact form we store the data you communicate to be able to answer your inquiries. This may include your name, email-address, telephone number and any other personal data you freely decide to share with us. We will retain this data as long as it is necessary for the purpose of your inquiry and delete it when it’s no longer needed if we are not obligated to retain it by law.
Newsletters, press releases and financial reports
In some cases, we may need your personal data for other purposes beyond performance of contract. We will in such cases always ask for your consent for each individual purpose.
You have the right to, at any time, recall your consent. We will then no longer process your personal data or collect new unless it is needed to fulfil our obligations according to a contract or the law.
Third party analytics and tracking
We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics to help analyze how you use our website. While our use of analytics software always is steered towards the use of anonymized data it’s important for you to be aware of that much of the information we process is considered personal data under the current data protection laws. Below you can read more details about the information we collect, how we use this information but also how you, as a visitor of our website, may disable our collection of your data.
Google Analytics
The tracking information allows us to better understand the kind of people who come to our website and what content they’re reading. This allows us to make better decisions about design and writing. Occasionally, we will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting. Google Analytics is also used to evaluate data from AdWords and the DoubleClick cookie for statistical purposes.
All of our activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.
You may opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software.

If cookies are set, they collect and process specific user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values according to individual requirements. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
