Purposes of processing
The personal data collected may be used for the following purposes, insofar as this is necessary and proportionate.
Sumholdment undertakes not to process data for purposes beyond these without first informing the user, unless otherwise required by law.
- Providing, maintaining and improving the services we offer
- Responding to requests submitted via contact forms
- Maintaining security and preventing fraudulent use
- Sending communications related to the service, with consent where applicable
- Carrying out anonymised statistical analyses of website usage
- Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations
Legal basis and retention
Depending on the circumstances, data processing is based on the user’s consent, the performance of a contract, a legitimate interest or a legal obligation. Data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, and is then deleted or anonymised, unless a longer legal retention period applies.
How long is my data kept?
The retention period depends on the nature of the data and the purpose being pursued. Sumholdment must define and document a specific period for each category of data.
Can I withdraw my consent at any time?
Yes. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out beforehand.
Is my data transferred outside my country?
Some technical service providers used by Sumholdment may host data in other jurisdictions. The appropriate safeguards should be set out here, based on the providers actually used.
Data sharing
Sumholdment does not sell its users’ personal data. However, limited sharing may occur in the following circumstances:
Technical providers
Hosting, email delivery or analytics tools, subject to contracts governing data confidentiality.
Legal obligations
Disclosure to a competent authority when required by law or by a court ruling.
Business reorganization
In the event of a merger, sale or restructuring, provided that an equivalent level of protection is maintained.
Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure it works properly, measure traffic and, where applicable, personalise the user experience. Users can set their browser to block or restrict non-essential cookies; some website features may then be affected.
Data security
Sumholdment implements reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. However, as no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
User rights
Depending on the applicable regulations, users may have rights in relation to their personal data, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability.
- Request access to the personal data Sumholdment holds
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of data, subject to applicable legal limits
- Object to certain types of processing, particularly for marketing purposes
- Request data portability for the data provided, where technically feasible
To exercise these rights, Sumholdment must specify a dedicated contact channel (an email address or a specific form). This document must include the exact contact details before publication.
Minors
Sumholdment's website and services are not intended for minors. We do not knowingly collect any data relating to minors; any data identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted as soon as this becomes known.
