  • Kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as it will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, subject to the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the regulation to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject (storage limitation);

  • Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality).

Processing is lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

  • The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

  • Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;

  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, particularly where the data subject is a child.

For residents of California, this Privacy Policy aims to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
