Who we share your data with
We only share your private data with our Danish hosting provider One.com and companies owned by the non-profit organisation Butterflies that provide the membership services you requested on this site. One.com only uses hosting centers located in Denmark for European customers to comply with GDPR.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Mentors must upload their photo, work permit and social security card that is needed for the mentors legal contract. This private information is stored in our project management tool on one.com and all private data is hosted on Danish servers, including any mails send to butterflies.dk mail addresses.
Mentors can ask to have their private information used for contracts deleted 5 years after their last work day, because its a legal requirement to store employment records for 5 years. Only the Butterflies board members with the role chairman of the board, treasurer of finances and the IT administrator has access to mentors private information and they have all provided a clean criminal record to hold these positions.
Personal information related to salary must also be stored in our accounting system e-conomic for 5 years, according to Danish laws, meaning we can only delete your private data in WordPress right away.
