complying with applicable legal obligations.
Personal data will not be used for purposes incompatible with those described in this Policy without providing additional information and, where required, obtaining the user's consent.
Legal grounds
The legal basis for processing depends on the specific purpose and the applicable law.
Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on:
the user's consent;
performance of a contract or steps taken at the user's request prior to entering into a contract;
compliance with a legal obligation;
the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, where those interests are not overridden by the user's rights and freedoms;
another legal basis permitted by applicable law.
Where processing is based on consent, the user may withdraw that consent where provided by applicable law.
Storage and protection of data
Personal data is retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the relevant purpose, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.
Once the purpose of processing has been fulfilled, personal data will be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise no longer processed where continued retention is not legally required.
Reasonable organisational and technical measures are used to protect personal data against:
unauthorised access;
alteration;
disclosure;
loss;
destruction;
other unlawful processing.
However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet can guarantee absolute security.
Transfer to third parties
Certain data may be processed by third parties that provide technical or other services necessary for the operation of the website.
These may include categories such as:
hosting providers;
email and mail-delivery infrastructure providers;
technical monitoring and security providers;
analytics providers, where such tools are used;
other technology providers necessary for operating the website.
Data is disclosed only to the extent necessary for the relevant purpose.
Where applicable law requires data-processing agreements, contractual safeguards, or specific measures for international transfers of personal data, the controller will take such measures.
A specific list of service providers and technologies used by the website may be provided by the controller where required.
