In today’s connected world, data plays a key role in improving services and efficiency – especially in fleet operations and equipment management. Like many modern devices, our connected equipment can generate and transmit operational data.

Where contractually agreed, we collect such data to provide valuable, data-driven products and services that support fleet management, diagnostics, repair, and maintenance.

This notice is to inform your company, the “user”, about the data Bromma (as part of Kalmar Corporation) collects and the user’s rights under the EU Data Act (Regulation EU 2023/2854). The Act becomes applicable on 12 September 2025. To continue utilizing our data offerings, we are required to agree on the terms regarding this data with you, the user. This will take place by concluding a Data Annex, which will be an integral part of your customer agreement regarding the sale of the equipment with Bromma, and will be concluded as part of such customer agreement, or where the customer agreement has been concluded before 12 September 2025, may be concluded separately where applicable. This Data Annex will enter into force on 12 September 2025.
