For user experience, communication and marketing

We may process personal data for the purpose of contacting you regarding our services and to inform you of changes in our services as well as to market our services, including direct marketing.

We use log-ins, cookies, IP addresses and other common Internet technologies to identify you and log your use in order to improve the user experience.

We store all personal data within the European Economic Area.

However, if we or our service providers in the future do transfer personal data to, or access it in, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area, we will take steps to ensure that the personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which it is processed. We provide adequate protection for the transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area through a series of agreements with our service providers based on the Standard Contractual Clauses or other similar arrangements.

We do not store the personal data for longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the related processing purposes. The storage period depends on the type of personal data, the purposes and the applicable law and therefore varies per use.

Typically, we store personal data for as long as we have purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law or necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes.

We erase personal data after the above described storage period or when you request us to erase your personal data unless we have a legitimate ground not to do so.
