5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period varies depending on the nature of the data and the purpose for which it is processed.

6. International Data Transfers

When we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
• Transfers to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection
• Other legally approved transfer mechanisms

7. Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Encryption of personal data
• Regular security assessments
• Access controls and authentication
• Staff training on data protection
• Incident response procedures

8. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

9. Automated Decision Making and Profiling

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes GDPR.
