   We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary, depending on the purpose of its processing and this Privacy Policy.

   If we no longer need personal data we delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.

In the event that, for any reason, consent is withdrawn, we will keep them for as long as necessary until the statute of limitations for any related claims has expired.
   If we have asked for your permission (consent) to process your personal data and we have no other legitimate reasons to continue this processing, and you withdraw your consent, we will delete your personal data. However, when you unsubscribe (eg from marketing communications or newsletter), we will retain your email address to ensure that we do not send you any printed or electronic material in the future.
   In the event that the legal basis of the processing is the performance of the contract or to take measures at your request prior to the conclusion of a contract, then we will retain your data for as long as you maintain a contractual relationship with us or for as long as the relevant legislation requires us to or we will keep them for as long as necessary until the statute of limitations for any related claims has expired.
