This privacy policy (hereinafter "Privacy Policy") gives you an overview of the purposes, legal bases and means under which LEI Kode ApS (hereinafter "LEI Kode" or "we") processes personal data. Additionally, the Privacy Policy explains which personal data we process, describes data retention periods as well as your rights as a data subject and how to exercise these rights.
In order to ensure a high level of protection of personal data as well as the fulfilment of all regulatory requirements, LEI Kode follows the requirements set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter "GDPR") and other applicable legislation throughout its operations.
The Controller of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy is LEI Kode ApS.
Commercial registry code: 39130491
Address: Øllegårdsvej 5, 2630, Taastrup, Denmark
Should you have any questions related to the processing of personal data, please contact us via e-mail at info@leicode.com.
LEI Kode processes your personal data only to the minimum extent necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Chapter of the Privacy Policy. Any processing of personal data has a specific, limited purpose and legal basis, which is described in detail below.
The main operations of LEI Kode encompass the activities of an official registration agent of LEI codes (Legal Entity Identifier), which is used worldwide to identify a legal entity. These operations include services provided to legal entities related to the registration, renewal and transfer of an LEI code.
In order to provide these services, LEI Kode processes the contact data of the representatives of the legal entities using our services (first and last name, telephone number, email address).
LEI Kode and/or our contractual partners may send newsletters and other notifications by post as well as by email to existing customers and potential customers (which are also legal entities) using contact information found in public sources (hereinafter "Newsletters"). The purpose of such data processing is to introduce the services of LEI Kode to potential customers, to collect feedback on our services and service experience, and to improve our business processes and service portfolio based on this information.
You can opt out of Newsletters sent to your legal entity by pressing the "unsubscribe" button next to the respective Newsletter (for email Newsletters). It is also possible to opt out of Newsletters (both sent by post and email) by sending us a notification with a respective request using the contact details provided in Chapter 1 of the Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for sending Newsletters is, depending on the specific situation, the data subject's consent.
Please note that if the legal basis for processing personal data is consent, the withdrawal of the latter does not affect the legality of data processing based on prior, valid consent.
Under certain circumstances, we have to process personal data to fulfil our legal obligations. This includes, for example, accounting obligations, responding to inquiries from government authorities, obligations arising from AML/CFT regulations and informing supervisory authorities and individuals about (potential) violations.
In such situations, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is our legal obligation (GDPR Article 6(1)c).
We store your personal data only for the time for which it is necessary for the purposes stated in Chapter 2 of this Privacy Policy.
Such personal data is generally stored for the duration of the respective customer relationship and until the expiration date of potential legal claims. Personal data processed in the course of pre-contractual negotiations or consultation, which have not ended with the conclusion of a contract (e.g. data processed during consultation and price inquiries), will be stored for 5 years from the end of the respective negotiations.
Such personal data will be stored until the necessity for processing ceases, but no longer than until the end of the customer relationship or the withdrawal of consent that was the legal basis for specific marketing activities (provided that the legal basis for processing was consent).
In order to fulfil legal obligations and in other specific circumstances, we may retain personal data for a longer period than stated above, including:
(a) to comply with legal obligations that LEI Kode is subject to;
(b) for accounting reasons;
(c) for reasons related to the realization of possible rights of claim.
For example, we retain all original accounting documentation (e.g. invoices) for 7 years from the end of the financial year in which the relevant accounting entry was made. In order to enable submission of claims or submission of objections to potential claims against us, we may retain personal data for 5 years or a maximum of 10 years (in case of intentional breach) in accordance with the limitation periods for claims and, in case of ongoing disputes, until their final resolution.

In certain cases, service providers providing specific services to us (e.g. IT services, accounting services, Newsletter delivery services) may also have access to a limited scope of personal data.
We generally do not transfer personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area. However, if such transfers are unavoidably necessary to achieve the purposes described in Chapter 2 of the Privacy Policy, we will only transfer personal data to recipients outside the European Economic Area, whose country of residence ensures an adequate level of personal data protection (the European Commission has published a decision on the adequacy of protection in this regard) and/or the corresponding level of protection can be achieved through appropriate safeguards, e.g. by implementing standard data protection clauses and/or binding corporate rules.
In relation with the processing of your personal data by LEI Kode, you have the following rights as specified in the GDPR:
You have the right to request information about whether and which personal data, on which legal basis and manner we process about you. You also have the right to request a copy of the personal data processed about you.

You can request the deletion of you personal data if:
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in the following situations:
You have the right to object to any automated decision-making by us and the processing of personal data related to direct marketing.
If we process your personal data on the basis of consent or an obligation arising from a contractual relationship between us, you have the right to demand that we provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used format and in machine-readable form. If technically feasible, you also have the right to request that we transfer personal data to another data controller indicated by you.
If the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of prior data processing, that was based on valid consent.
To exercise the rights described above, please contact us at info@leicode.com. Please note that data subject rights are not absolute, and for each request we must assess whether and to what extent applicable data protection legislation allows us to satisfy your request. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. If it is not possible to respond to the request within one month, we may extend the response deadline by a further two months, informing you of the extension of the deadline and the reason for it within one month of receipt of the request.

Our customers love us
Below are a few statements from Trustpilot about why our customers use leicode.com
I ordered the LEI on a Thursday at 11.30 am. Received the code Friday at 10.16 am. Got a service call immediately after ordering, since the address I had entered, had a spelling error. Im happy with the service I got.
Good service, and fast delivery. I had my own LEI code after 5-6 hours.
My LEI code was active in a matter of hours after I started the process, at no extra charge. I have only good things to say about LEI Code. / Steve Morell
