Storage of personal data
We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, and we also comply with industry best practice and existing recommendations and guidelines. Personal data will only be used for the purposes set out in this Personal Data Policy and/or to fulfill legal and administrative obligations. After that, we will securely delete your personal data. However, the same personal data may be stored in several different places for different purposes. This means that we may delete data from one system when it is no longer needed there, while the data may continue to be stored in another system if the purpose remains for that particular system. If data is needed after this period for analytical, historical, or other legitimate commercial purposes, we will take appropriate measures to anonymize this data so that it no longer constitutes personal data.
If you have registered to receive our newsletter, we will process the data necessary to administer this for as long as you do not unsubscribe from the newsletter or notify us that you no longer wish to receive it, or otherwise for three years from the date you placed an order. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
If you are a former customer of ours, we will store the personal data we need to continue to contact you with marketing communications for as long as you have an active customer relationship with us. We consider you to have an active customer relationship with us if you have purchased products or services from us in the last three years and have not otherwise unsubscribed from receiving marketing communications from us. You can unsubscribe from receiving marketing communications from us at any time.
We are required by law to record and retain certain information that constitutes accounting information. We must therefore store this information for approximately seven years.
