  • the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal information .

Access to sensitive personal information is limited to those employees who need to it to perform their roles. Unauthorised use or disclosure of confidential client information by a Epitopea employee is prohibited and may result in disciplinary measures.

7. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

How long we will hold your personal information for will vary and will be determined by the following criteria:

  • the purpose for which we are using it – Epitopea will need to keep the data for as long as is necessary for that purpose; and
  • legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal information.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

8.1 In all the above cases in which we collect, use or store your personal information, you may have the following rights and, in most cases, you can exercise them free of charge. These rights include:

  • the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your personal information and access to the personal information which we hold about you;
  • the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information at any time. Please note, however, that we may still be entitled to process your personal information if we have another legitimate reason for doing so. For example, we may need to retain personal information to comply with a legal obligation;
  • in some circumstances, the right to receive some personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit those data to a third party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to personal information which you have provided directly to Epitopea;
