SECTION 6 – RETENTION PERIOD

 

We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it to provide you with your requested service(s) or to meet our commercial or legal obligations.

To determine the retention period of your personal data, we consider several criteria to make sure that we do not keep your personal data for long than is necessary or appropriate. These criteria include:

  • The purpose for which we hold your personal data;
  • Our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to that personal data, for example any financial reporting obligations;
  • Any specific requests from you in relation to the deletion of your personal data; and
  • Our legitimate business interests in relation to managing our own rights, for example the defence of any claims.

SECTION 10 – YOUR RIGHTS

 

The following section explains your rights that you may exercise. The various rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions or qualifications in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. 

  • • The right of access – you have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not your personal data is being processed by us, and about certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Statement) about how it is used. You also have the right to access your personal data, by requesting a copy of the personal data concerning you. This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with data protection law. We can refuse to provide information where to do so may reveal personal data about another person or would otherwise negatively impact another person's rights. 

 

  • • The right to rectification – you can ask us to take measures to correct your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete (e.g., if we have the wrong name or address for you). 

 

  • • The right to erasure – this right enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal data where, for example, there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it or its use is unlawful. 

 

  • • The right to restrict processing – you have the right to ‘block’ or suppress the further use of your personal data when we are assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal data, but may not use it further. 

 

  • • The right to data portability – you have the right to obtain and reuse certain personal data for your own purposes across different organisations (being separate data controllers). This only applies to your personal data that you have provided to us that we are processing with your consent and for the purposes of contract fulfilment, which is being processed by automated means. In such a case we will provide you with a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or (where technically feasible) we may transmit your data directly to a separate data controller. 

 

  • • The right to object – you have the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will be allowed to continue to process the personal data if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or we need this for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for such purposes. 

 

  • • The right to provide us with directives regarding the use of your personal data after your death – if you are a resident of France, you have the right to provide us with instructions on the management (e.g., retention, erasure and disclosure) of your personal data after your death. You can change or revoke your instructions at any time.
