7. Data retention
We use your personal data for a specific purpose. If we no longer have a purpose, the data will be deleted. We adhere to legal retention periods, typically up to 10 years after the conclusion of a contract or transaction. However, we may extend this period if necessary to exercise our rights. In cases where there’s no prescribed legal retention period, we opt for shorter retention periods.
In certain instances, such as conducting studies or developing risk and marketing models, a longer retention period may be warranted to gain valuable insights. In such cases, we may extend the retention period by up to 10 years beyond the standard duration. We prioritize anonymization or aggregation of data as soon as possible, ensuring individual identities are dissociated. This allows us to work with aggregated or pseudonymized data, preserving your privacy while maximizing data utility.
