If you are a telecom subscriber and want to know why your personal data is processed by Ambition, please refer to the section "Special Section for Telecom Subscribers."

General

As a data consultancy and digital agency, Ambition is subject to applicable data protection legislation, which, as of May 25, 2018, is known as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Ambition acts both as a data processor and a data controller, depending on the situation.

If you are a citizen, you should generally contact the company you are a customer of, or directly contact the public authority responsible for processing your personal data. If you are an applicant or candidate for a position at Ambition, please refer to the section "Data Processing Practices for Applicants."

Data processing practices for applicants

The purpose of processing applicants' personal data is to gain insight into the candidate's experience and qualifications to ensure proper recruitment. The recipients of the personal data are managers at Ambition.

No data is transferred to third countries. Submitted CVs are stored for a maximum of six months.

Marketing via email, SMS, and social media

You may, at any time, notify us that you do not wish to receive marketing materials via email by sending a message to ambition@ambition.dk.

If you are a customer of Ambition and have provided us with your email address, we may send you marketing emails without your consent if our communication concerns the products and services — or similar products and services — you purchase from us.

When you sign up for an event, a newsletter, or fill out a contact form on Ambition's website, you simultaneously consent to being contacted personally with news, special offers, and invitations. You provide a range of personal information, such as your name, email address, and mobile number. Ambition uses this information to contact you via email, SMS, and social media (such as Facebook and LinkedIn) with offers of other events, news, and product promotions that we believe may interest you. Ambition does not disclose your personal data to third parties. You may withdraw your consent to receive newsletters and marketing materials via email, etc., at any time by following the instructions in the messages you receive or by contacting us at persondata@ambition.dk.

Special section for telecom subscribers

The source of telecom data is more than 100 telecom companies, which, according to § 31 of the Telecommunications Act, are required to make this data available to those who request it. Eniro collects and processes telecom data on its behalf and resells data to other data distributors, including Ambition. Regarding the storage of this data, the telecom company, Eniro, and Ambition are data controllers. The end customers who purchase telecom data are also data controllers.

We process the following information:

  • Name, address, and phone number
  • Job title
  • Subscription category (typically "landline" or "mobile")

The data is disclosed to customers and customers of affiliated companies for analysis, marketing, and updating purposes. The purpose of the processing is to enable our customers to carry out targeted marketing through direct contact with individuals by mail or phone, and to assist our customers in maintaining and enriching customer databases with correct phone numbers.

Ambition does not receive telecom data for subscribers who are blocked from disclosure at the telecom company, and secret phone numbers, names, and addresses are not received. We generally do not disclose telecom data for marketing purposes if the subscriber is listed on the Robinson list of the CPR register. However, humanitarian and charitable organizations are not subject to the Marketing Act and are therefore not required to exclude citizens on the Robinson list.

Since Ambition is merely a data distributor of publicly available telecom data, we recommend that all inquiries regarding the correction and deletion of personal data be directed to the source, which is the telecom company where the subscription is registered. Otherwise, it requires contacting both Eniro and a large number of additional data distributors and end-users, all of whom are data controllers for their processing of the personal data contained in telecom data.

Special section for CVR-registered companies

In Denmark, there is free access to data on companies registered in the CVR register (the Central Business Register). Ambition is a data distributor of CVR registry data. Regarding the storage and thus processing of personal data that may be contained in Ambition's copy of the CVR register, Ambition is the data controller.

We process the following information:

  • CVR and P-number
  • Company name (which, for most sole proprietorships, contains a personal name)
  • Company address
  • Company type
  • Company phone number and email
  • Industry
  • Number of employees
  • Start date and, if applicable, termination date
  • Name and address of responsible participants (owners, management, and board of directors)

The data is disclosed to our customers and customers of our affiliated companies for analysis, marketing, and updating purposes. The purpose of the processing is to enable our customers to better target their marketing activities and assist our customers in maintaining and enriching customer databases with accurate information.

We never disclose CVR data for marketing when the company is marketing-blocked in the CVR register. We never disclose the name and address of responsible participants for marketing purposes. Similarly, we never disclose information about sole proprietorships for marketing purposes when they are listed on the Robinson list of the CPR register.

Since Ambition is merely a data distributor of a publicly available business database, we recommend that all inquiries regarding the correction and deletion of personal data be directed to the source, which is the CVR register. Otherwise, it requires contacting a large number of additional data distributors and end-users, all of whom are data controllers for their processing of the personal data contained in the CVR register.
