  • Binding Corporate Rules for transfers within our corporate group
  • Adequacy decisions by the European Commission for certain countries

We implement technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider:

  • The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure
  • The purposes for which we process the data
  • Whether we can achieve those purposes through other means
  • Legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements
