A) FOR WHAT PURPOSES ARE PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED?

  • Provision of services: this includes the delivery of digital content (legal basis: processing necessary for contractual performance or for the implementation of measures taken before a contract is concluded);
  • Processing payments: this includes the maintenance of payments, together with payment processors (legal basis: processing necessary for contractual performance);
  • Marketing activities: this includes the delivery of personalized content, targeting of advertising or the sending of newsletters (legal basis: legitimate interest);
  • Determination and enforcement of ABF ‘s legal claims (legal basis: legitimate interest);

Compliance with legislation: If necessary, ABF will ask you for permission to process your personal data.

We do not track or collect any sensitive information about you. This includes race, religion, ethnicity and political opinion.

 

F) HOW LONG ARE YOUR DATA RETAINED?

We keep your data for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purposes of processing as defined above; however, this data will be erased, when you stop interacting with ABF (i.e. after delivery of a particular service, unless ABF has a legitimate interest in keeping the personal data longer (for example to protecting ABF’s legal claims). This would be the case if ABF had a legal obligation to keep your data for a longer period of time (eg. applicable accounting rules), or in cases where applicable law obliges us to keep such records for a longer period.

We store electronic and in some cases physical copies of your personal data. In accordance with best practices, we maintain security safeguards that protect your data.

In this case(s) ABF puts in place appropriate contractual and other measures to protect your personal data when personal data are transferred to related parties or third parties located in other countries.

In the case of cross-border transmission of data from the EEA to countries where the European Commission recognizes an insufficient level of protection of personal data, the controller ensures that those data recipients are bound by EU standard contractual clauses to protect your personal data.
