As noted in the ‘How We Use Your Personal Data’ section of this notice, we occasionally process your personal information under the legitimate interests’ legal basis. Where this is the case, we have weighed your interests and any risk posed to you against our own and that such interests are proportionate and appropriate.
With whom might we share your personal data?
CardPOS Europe provide products and services from many partners with global operations. When you give us personal data, that data may be used, processed or stored anywhere in the world, including countries outside the EEA.
We may also pass your personal data to suppliers, service providers, subcontractors, agents, distributors, vendors and other partners, some of whom may be located outside the EEA, in order to provide you with the information, products and services that you requested or otherwise for the purposes described in this privacy policy.
In the event that we receive requests from government departments, agencies or other official bodies, we will only disclose your information if and to the extent that we believe we are legally required to do so (for example, but without limitation, upon receipt of a court order, warrant, subpoena or equivalent).
Except as set out above, we will not disclose your personal data save where we need to do so in order to enforce our rights.
Transferring your data outside of the EEA
We share your personal data as specified above. This may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In addition, some of our third-party service providers are located outside of the EEA or use cloud based services that are operated on servers located outside the EEA.
If we do transfer information to our partners outside of the EEA we will take steps to ensure that those providers use the necessary level of protection for your information and abide by agreements and measures set out by the company to protect your data and comply with the relevant data protection laws.
How long do we keep your information?
We will keep your personal information for as long as you have a business relationship with CardPOS Europe or are likely to have one again in the future. We will only retain your personal data after that for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
After you stop having a business relationship with the company, we may keep your data for one of these reasons:
- To respond to any questions or complaints.
- To show that we treated you fairly.
- To maintain records according to rules that apply to us.
- To maintain ‘marketing opt-out’ lists
