Privacy Policy for elastisys.com and elastisys.io
Purpose
We collect personal data for the following purposes:
- track campaign success;
- understand visitor demography and website journey.
Personal Data We Process
We collect IPv4 addresses. We anonymize IPv4 addresses to /24 as soon as technically possible.
Legal Basis
We believe we have a legitimate interest in processing IP addresses for the purpose of tracking campaign success and understanding visitors. IP addresses are expected to belong to corporate network endpoints and not identify data subjects. Furthermore, we anonymize IP addresses as soon as technically possible. Hence the impact on your privacy as a data subject is minimal.
Retention
IP addresses are anonymized as soon as technically feasible. Anonymized IP addresses are retained indefinitely.
Protection of Personal Data
We protect personal data as following:
- Encryption: Personal data is encrypted in-transit. If supported by the underlying subprocessor, personal data is also encrypted at-rest.

- Access minimization: Access to personal data is only permitted to Elastisys employees needing it.

Purpose

We collect business contact information, such as first name, last name, business email address, business phone number, title and LinkedIn profile URL.

Legitimate Interests Assessment
Our assessment, based on the "three-part test" looks as follows:
- Purpose test:
- We want to collect business contact information to present our offering to potential new customers.
- Without processing this information, we would not be able to grow our business.
- Necessity test:
- Some public business contact information cannot be obtained with prior consent. This includes contact information which you made available on your company website. (For example: How would we write an email to ask for your consent without processing your email address in our email client first?)
- Balancing test:
- We only collect contact information found in a business context, such as company websites.
- We only collect your information if we assessed that you would likely benefit from knowing about our offering.
- This information is already public, hence neither sensitive nor private.
- In our experience, such usage of public business contact information can be expected, as long as the email is hand-written and tailored manually to the interests recipient.
- Swedish law allows for such communication on an opt-out basis. See Marknadsföringslag (1995:450) 13 b § 2st. "Obeställd reklam" and E-privacy Directive 2009/136/EC Article 13 "Unsolicitated communication" paragraph 3.
- Elastisys does not work with automated electronic communication, such as marketing, sequencing or equivalent, whether email, LinkedIn or similar. As an organization we do not believe that an automated first contact is an effective and appreciated way of doing business with other organizations.
- We only send automated emails if you gave your consent, for instance by subscribing to a newsletter or Terms of Service updates.
