7. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which we collected them, including to fulfil any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the amount, nature, and sensitivity of personal data; the potential harm caused by unauthorised use or disclosure of your data; and the purposes for which we process your data and whether we can achieve these objectives by other means; and applicable legal requirements.

At the end of the retention period, your data will be completely erased or rendered anonymous – for example, by aggregation with other data – so that they can be used in an unidentified way for statistical analysis and business planning.

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws related to your data. If you wish to use any of the following rights, please contact us at [email protected].

Request access to your data (known as the “data subject’s Access Application Form”). This allows you to obtain a copy of the personal data we have about you, and you can check whether we are processing them legally.
Request the rectification of personal data in our possession. This allows you to correct incomplete or inaccurate data in our possession, even though we may need to verify the correctness of the new data that you have provided.
Request deletion of your data. This allows you to request the deletion or removal of your data if we do not have a valid reason to process it.You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your data if you have successfully used the right of objection to processing (see below), if we have unlawfully processed your information or if we are required to erase your data in connection with the law.However, we may not always be able to comply with our deletion requirements for specific legal reasons, which you will be notified of if necessary when submitting your application.
An objection to the processing of your data, if we rely on a legitimate interest (or a legitimate interest of the third parties) and you wish to object to the processing in relation to your specific situation because you think it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object if we process your data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may provide compelling legitimate bases for processing your information that takes precedence over your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your data. This allows you to request us to suspend the processing of your data in the following situations: (a) If you want us to check the correctness of the data; (b) If our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to delete them; c) If you need to keep the data, even if we no longer need them, because you need them to submit, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) if you have submitted an objection to the use of your data, but we need to check whether we have the legal bases to use them.
Request the transfer of your data to you or a third party. We or a third party you have chosen will present your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this privilege applies only to the automated information that you originally gave us, or when we used this information to fulfil an agreement with you.
If you wish to consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw your consent at any time. However, this shall not affect the lawfulness of the data’s processing before the withdrawal of consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with certain products or services. We advise you of this when you withdraw your consent.

Usually, there will not be a charge

Access to your data (or the use of other rights) is free of charge. However, if your application is manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, we will take a reasonable fee. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in such a situation.

What we need from you

We may ask you for accurate information that will help us identify you and ensure that you can access your data (or exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who is not entitled to receive it. We may also contact you to ask for more information about your request, to expedite your response.

Reply deadline

We strive to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your application is particularly complex or if you have submitted several applications, then the answer may take beyond a month. In this case, we will update you and keep you informed.
