§4. STORAGE, TRANSFERS AND DISCLOSURE

Data retention

We generally hold personal data for five years following our last interaction,  engagement or correspondence with you. At the end of the retention period, we assess whether it is necessary to continue to retain information to achieve the purposes for which it was collected (taking into account the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of unauthorised access, and legal requirements). 

Storage & Transfers

We are based in Sweden, regularly collaborate with an international network of partners and may from time to time use subcontractors based in other countries. As a result, there may be occasions where we transfer personal data to a country which does not provide an adequate level of protection. Where this is the case, we use contracts which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.  For more information drop us a line using the contact details at the start of this notice.

Disclosure

We may disclose your personal data:

  • Where required by law, government, competent authorities or the courts or to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, and for the purposes of preventing crime and fraud (for example, we may share personal data with our professional advisors, investigators, or credit reference agencies).

  • With suppliers and subcontractors, as necessary for the purposes set out in this notice.

  • With Coffee Stain Studios AB, a company incorporated and registered in Sweden with registered address at Hertig Johans Gata 6, 541 30 Skövde, Sweden. You can access their website here: www.coffeestainstudios.com

  • If involved in an investment, merger, acquisition, or sale of our organisation or assets, personal data we hold may be shared on the basis of the legitimate interests of us, our shareholders, customers and other parties to a transaction, unless those interests are outweighed by prejudicial impacts upon you.
