Data Retention

We retain personal data about you for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in these Disclosures, unless a longer period is required under applicable law or is needed to resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.

The criteria used to determine the period for which personal data about you will be retained varies depending on the legal basis under which we process the personal data:

Legitimate InterestsWhere we are processing personal data based on our legitimate interests, we generally will retain such information for a reasonable period of time based on the particular interest, taking into account the fundamental interests and the rights and freedoms of data subjects
ConsentWhere we are processing personal data based on your consent, we generally will retain the information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the underlying agreement with you, subject to your right, under certain circumstances, to have certain of your data erased (please see the Your Privacy Rights section below)
ContractWhere we are processing personal data based on contract, we generally will retain the information for the duration of the contract plus some additional limited period of time that is necessary to comply with law or that represents the statute of limitations for legal claims that could arise from the contractual relationship
Legal ObligationWhere we are processing personal data based on a legal obligation, we generally will retain the information for the period of time necessary to fulfil the legal obligation
Legal ClaimWe may need to apply a “legal hold” that retains information beyond our typical retention period where we face threat of legal claim.  In that case, we will retain the information until the hold is removed, which typically means the claim or threat of claim has been resolved.

In all cases, in addition to the purposes and legal bases, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, as well as the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer personal data about you among us and to our subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as to the categories of third parties identified in the Our Disclosure of Personal Information section of the Privacy Notice. Personal data may be transferred to, stored and processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including, but not limited to, the United States. The country to which personal data is transferred may not provide the same level of protection for personal data as the country from which it was transferred.

We may transfer personal data about you outside the EEA and when we do so, we rely on appropriate or suitable safeguards recognized under the GDPR including adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses.

Adequacy Decisions

We may transfer personal data about you to countries that the European Commission has deemed to adequately safeguard personal data.

Standard Contractual Clauses

The GDPR recognizes the use of Standard Contractual Clauses for international data transfers, which provide safeguards for personal data transferred outside of the EEA. We may use Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission when transferring personal data from a country in the EEA to a country outside the EEA that has not been deemed to adequately safeguard personal data. You can request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section below.

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data (subject to certain limitations at law):

AccessThe right to access and obtain a copy of personal data about you, as well as information relating to its processing.
RectificationThe right to correct or update any personal data about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Restriction of ProcessingThe right to require us to limit the purposes for which we process your personal data if the continued processing of the personal data in this way is not justified, such as where the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you.
ErasureThe right to request the deletion or erasure of personal data about you without undue delay if the continued processing of that personal information is not justified.
PortabilityThe right to obtain a copy of personal data about you in an easily accessible format and the right to transmit that personal data to another controller.
Objection to ProcessingThe right to object to any processing based on our legitimate interests where there are grounds relating to your particular situation. There may be compelling reasons for continuing to process your personal data, and we will assess and inform you if that is the case. You can object to marketing activities for any reason.

Please note that if the exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal data, we may not be able to provide our products or services to you, or otherwise engage with you going forward.
