HubSpot: a tool for email mailings and marketing

We use HubSpot for email mailings and inbound marketing.

Until you become a customer, or have provided your contact details, for example by registering for a newsletter, the data will be anonymous in HubSpot. When you give your consent to receive information from us, such as by email, the email will be stored. The information about you remains in Hubspot until you either unsubscribe from the email list or are no longer a customer of ODIN.

HubSpot is an American company that stores and processes data in the USA. The company is Privacy Shield-certified. This means that they are subject to rules that protect your data in the same way as if the data had been stored in Europe. You can read more about what Privacy Shield means for you as a customer.

We have signed a data processing agreement with HubSpot to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the regulations. This provides a clear framework for how HubSpot should process information about you.

Hubspot: CRM and customer follow-up

HubSpot is also our (CRM) system for following up existing and potential customers. In order to give our customers relevant, useful and personalised information, this data will be available to us in HubSpot. This is important as it enables us to give our customers a better experience of being a customer of ODIN. We also document communications with you as a customer or potential customer, such as emails and meetings that have been held. We can also see whether you have opened an email or not. This tells us instantly whether what we send you is interesting, and we avoid calling you before you are actually ready for it.

This data is stored by us as long as you as the customer have a customer relationship with us.

2.       Storage of customers’ personal data

Laws and measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing oblige us, and all other players within the financesector, to register and store information in ODIN about the purpose of the customer relationship, the source of the money you invest and whether you fall under the definition of a politically exposed person (PEP). The law also obliges us to carry out a risk classification of you as a customer. We carry out this risk classification, among other things, on the basis of the size of the invested amount, the volume and frequency of the transaction for the duration of the customer relationship.

The new General Data Protection Regulation gives you as a customer the right to “be forgotten”, in other words, have your personal data deleted. This happens when the information we have about you is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In some situations, however, when another law applies, we are not always in a position to delete information we have about you. As a management company for securities funds, various laws oblige ODIN Forvaltning to retain the information for certain periods of time. The accounting law, the anti-money-laundering law and the law on taxation can be mentioned here.

You can also request that incorrect information about you is deleted. We will attempt to keep the information about you updated and correct ourselves, but if you discover any errors, please feel free to contact our funds centre on +47 24 00 48 04.

5. Audio recordings

You should feel secure when you receive advice about saving and investing with us. There should be no doubt regarding the advice you have received and which agreements you have entered into with us. ODIN is subject to the MiFID II regulation, and is therefore obliged to record and store all telephone calls that are made between the advisor/funds centre and the customer.

The recordings are stored for at least five years from the time of recording. We treat the recordings as sensitive information and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality, both for ODIN as a company and those who are employed by ODIN. The recordings are stored in such a way that they are not accessible to unauthorised persons.
