9. International transfers

At this time, we do not transfer and do not intend to transfer your personal data or any part of it to other companies, organizations or individuals in third countries or to international organizations.

If we need to transfer your data to any of the above destinations, we will send you a new information notice beforehand.

The transfer of personal data to a third State may only take place if the State to which the transfer is intended ensures an adequate level of protection.

The transfer of data to a State whose legislation does not provide for a level of protection at least equal to that offered by the General Data Protection Regulation is only possible if there are sufficient guarantees with regard to the protection of the fundamental rights of the data subjects.

These safeguards will be established by us through contracts concluded with the providers/service providers to whom your personal data will be transferred.

Some of our service providers may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will ensure that a similar level of protection is in place through one of the following safeguards:

  • We will transfer your personal data to countries where it has been demonstrated by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of security for personal data.
  • When we use certain service providers, we will be able to use certain model contracts provided and approved by the European Commission which offer the same protection to personal data as they do in Europe.
  • When we use US providers, we will be able to transfer the data if they offer similar terms of protection for data shared between the EU and the US.

10. Data security

We understand how important the security of personal data is and we take the necessary measures to protect our customers and others whose data we process from unauthorized access to personal data, as well as from unauthorized modification, disclosure or destruction of the data we process in our day-to-day business.

We have implemented the following technical and organizational personal data security measures:

Dedicated policies. We adopt and constantly review our internal personal data processing practices and policies (including physical and electronic security measures) to protect our systems from unauthorized access or other possible security threats. These policies are subject to constant review to ensure that we comply with legal requirements and that systems are functioning properly.

Data minimization. We ensure that the personal data we process is limited to that which is necessary, appropriate and relevant for the purposes stated in this Notice.

Restricting access to data. We try to restrict access to the personal data we process as much as possible to the minimum necessary: employees, collaborators and other persons who need to access this data in order to process it and carry out a service. Our partners and collaborators are subject to strict confidentiality obligations (either by contract or by law).

Specific technical measures. We use technologies to ensure the security of our customers, always striving to implement the most optimal data protection solutions. We also make regular back-ups of data in order to be able to recover it in the event of an incident and have regular audit procedures in place regarding the security of the equipment used. However, no website, no application and no internet connection is completely secure and unreachable.

Ensuring the accuracy of your data. Sometimes we may ask you to confirm the accuracy or currency of your data to ensure that it reflects the truth.

Staff training. We constantly train and test our employees and collaborators on legislation and best practices in the field of personal data processing.

Data anonymization. Where we can, we try as far as possible to anonymize/pseudonymize the personal data we process so that we can no longer identify the individuals to whom it relates.

However, while we constantly strive to ensure the security of the data you entrust to us, we may also experience less happy events and security incidents/breaches. In these cases, we will strictly follow the security incident reporting and notification procedure and take all necessary steps to restore the situation to normal as soon as possible.

11. Data storage

Please note that at this time we will not process and store all of the data elements identified below, but we are constantly working on developing the Platform by introducing new products, benefits and services and have considered future implementations to be fully transparent with you.

Purpose Further information
Register as a User We will keep your data until you decide to stop being a user (delete your account).

In short, we will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we have collected it, including for the purposes of meeting any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

In determining the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the value, nature and sensitivity of your personal data, the potential risk of harm caused by unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means and applicable legal requirements.

We are required by law to retain basic information about our clients, contract partners and sponsors (including contact details, identity, financial and trading data) for 5 years after they are no longer clients for tax purposes.

In certain circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for scientific, historical or statistical research purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without prior notice to you.

Please note that in certain expressly regulated situations, we store data for the period required by law.
