Please note this list is non-exhaustive and there may be other examples where we need to share with other parties. These are either justified by our legitimate interest, permitted by applicable law, or necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

In the absence of an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the transfer of your personal data will be made pursuant to the appropriate safeguards, such as entering into the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, and additional measures and clauses to supplement such Standard Contractual Clauses as it may be required subject to the transfer impact assessment which gives personal data the same protection it has in Europe and notably prevent interference by public authorities of third countries.

We generally retain your personal data for the duration strictly necessary for the management of our relationship with you or your organization, and until the deletion of your user account. At the end of this period, we will archive only the personal data that is necessary for us to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations (in particular tax and accounting) or to protect our rights and interests, within the limit of the applicable statute of limitations, i.e. in principle five years after the end of our agreement. In addition, unless you object, we retain your personal data used for marketing purposes for an additional 3-years period after the end of our relationship with you, if we do not have any more contact with you.
