3. E-mails
Where there is an instance in which an e-mail sent to or from Inginious contains personal data, the further processing of such e-mail means that Inginious will process personal data. E-mails almost always contain personal data because the e-mail address itself is usually considered as personal data. The e-mail may also contain other information which combined will be considered as personal data.
The content of incoming e-mails are usually unknown when the email is received by us, when this is the case, the personal data contained in the e-mail is processed by Inginious, but for the purpose of reading the e-mail to assess if the e-mail shall be deleted or if Inginious is needed to take action. If, after receipt of an incoming e-mail, Inginious considers that the e-mail should not be deleted, and that further processing is necessary, Inginious will on a case-by-case basis decide the legal basis, means and period for the processing. The legal basis for the processing of e-mails depends among other things on the content of the e-mail and whether Inginious has any relationship with the recipient/sender.
If, upon receipt/dispatch of an e-mail, Inginious determines that the e-mail shall be deleted, deletion will be made within a reasonable time after receipt/dispatch.
