3.1 Data processors
IBF Legal will only share your personal data with third parties if these parties deliver services within maintenance and other technical/digital/ICT solutions to IBF Legal. To secure your personal data and privacy we have signed data processor agreements with these parties to ensure that your data is not used for any other purpose than what we have agreed with you.
Our use of data processors may result in personal data being transferred to data processors located outside of the EEA. This means that personal data may be transferred to a country with a regulation that does not ensure the same level of protection of personal data as the regulation in Norway. In order to ensure your privacy, such transfer will only take place in accordance with the applicable data protection regulation, for example by using contractual arrangements approved under the GDPR.
3.2 Other third-parties
IBF LegalL will not allow for any third-party usage of your personal data unless there is a legal basis for this transfer. An example of a legal ground is if we have explicit consent from you, if the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party, to establish an agreement with you or because we are required by law to share the data.

5. Deletion of personal data
