6. How and why we share personal data with service providers

In this section, we explain how and why we share personal data with service providers. When we share personal data with such companies, we require them to maintain security and they must not use personal data for their own marketing purposes.

Service providers

We work with carefully selected service providers who perform specific functions on our behalf. Those include, for example, companies that help us to provide: client services, technology services, storing and linking data. We only share personal data that enables our providers to provide those services.

Some of the service providers we work with operate on-line media channels within which they place advertisements relevant to our services and also for our providers. For example, you may see an advertisement for our services when you use a certain social media site or watch web TV.

7. How and why we share personal data with other entities

We may share personal data with other organisations or Users in the following circumstances:

  • when the law or a public authority claims that we must share personal data, e.g. this is required by the tax office, law enforcement authorities or a general or administrative court;
  • where we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our rights (including  transferring personal data to others for fraud prevention and credit risk mitigation);
  • with organisations to which we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of  our rights or obligations under any contract we may have with you. If the transfer or sale is  successful, the entity receiving your personal data may use your personal data in the same way as we do;
  • with any legal successors associated with our business

8. How we protect your personal data

We know how important it is to properly secure and manage personal data. This section presents a  selection of the measures we have introduced. To ensure the security of your data we use computer  security features such as:

  • restricting access only to employees who need it to perform their job duties;
  • we enforce physical, electronic and procedural safeguards relating to the collection, storage and  disclosure of personal data;
  • physical access controls to our buildings and files;
  • firewalls and encryption of data during transmission using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

However, although appropriate technical and organisational measures have been taken to protect  personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data sent to us over the Internet.

The personal data we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the  European Economic Area („EEA”). It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA that  work for us or for one of our service providers. If we do so, we ensure that your privacy rights are respected in accordance with this Policy. The most common way we do this is by introducing a specific  type of contract (for more information on this topic, see here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers- outside-eu_en) or through an approved programme such as Privacy  Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.

9. How long will we process your personal data

We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need to, which depends on several factors:

  • (Above all) the reason why we collected it;
  • How long ago it was collected;
  • Is there a legal/regulatory basis for us to retain it;
  • Do we need it to protect your interest or ours.

10. Choice in terms of receiving marketing communications and participating in market research

We will send you relevant offers and information about our services in a number of ways, including by  e-mail, but only if you have previously agreed to receive such marketing information.
