We process your personal data mainly to pursue our legitimate interest to maintain and develop customer and business relationships and to run and develop our business.

We store your personal data primarily within the European Economic Area. However, we have service providers in several geographical locations. As such, we and our service providers may transfer personal data to, or access it in, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area or your domicile.

If we transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area, we provide adequate protection for such transfers through a series of agreements with our service providers based on the Standard Contractual Clauses or through other appropriate safeguards, such as the Privacy Shield Framework.

8. Personal Data Recipients

Accepted Answer

We do not share personal data with third parties outside of our organization unless one of the following circumstances applies:

For legal reasons and legal processes:
We may share personal data with third parties outside our organization if access to and use of the personal data is reasonably necessary to: (i) meet any applicable law, regulation, and/or court order; or (ii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address crime or security issues.

To authorized service providers:
We may share personal data to authorized service providers who perform services for us (including data storage, legal, accounting, sales and marketing services). Our agreements with our service providers include commitments that the service providers agree to limit their use of personal data and to comply with privacy and security standards at least as stringent as the terms of this Privacy Statement.

For other legitimate reasons:
If Dot. is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we may transfer personal data to the third party involved. However, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of all personal data. We will give you notice when the personal data are transferred or become subject to a different Privacy Statement as soon as reasonably possible provided that the transfer concerns your personal data.

Question 9

9. Storage Period

Accepted Answer

We do not store personal data longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement. The storage period depends on the nature of the information and the purposes of processing. The maximum period may therefore vary per use.

For instance, Company and Contact Data relating to you is typically stored as long as we have an ongoing service or business relationship with the organisation you represent. Information relating to your participation to our events is stored until the end of the event in question.

When the storage of personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was initially collected, we may continue storing the data only as long as such processing is required by law or is reasonably necessary for our legal obligations or legitimate interests such as claims handling, bookkeeping, internal reporting, reconciliation purposes and direct marketing.
