Indeed, The European Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of individuals regarding the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data has been applicable since May 25, 2018 (hereinafter the "GDPR"). The RGPD raises awareness of all actors in the European Union and more, on a multitude of issues related to the management, use and retention of personal data. In this order, Ayvens Data Privacy Policy aims to explain how we, as a data controller, collect, store, use and disclose your personal information whenever you use our products and services, our websites or interact with Ayvens. This Policy is intended to explain our privacy practices.

4. How long do we keep your personal information.

Personal data is kept by Ayvens, in an active base, for the time necessary to achieve the objective pursued at the time of their collection.

The retention period is therefore initially set by Ayvens according to the operational needs necessary for the execution of each individual rental contract and taking into consideration any recommendations of the local Data protection authority.

However, certain longer retention periods may result from legislative and regulatory texts. Some laws also require that documents/information containing personal data be retained for a specific period of time for evidentiary purposes or in anticipation of possible litigation until the action in question is time-barred. For example, in commercial matters for accountability documents, obligations are in principle prescribed by five years if they are not subject to special prescriptions. Ayvens is therefore obliged to keep certain personal data beyond the execution of the lease contracts, even though it no longer has any use for them, in the form of so-called intermediate archives.

At the end of these periods, the personal data is:

→ Anonymized;

and/or

→ Purged.

5. Who Ayvens may share your personal data with.

Ayvens understand that you do not want us to provide your personal information directly to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent. However, Ayvens occasionally need to use partners or processors to provide you with the requested services and a better experience, for the purposes described above. We therefore limit our sharing of your personal information on a need-to-know basis as follows:

6. Export of personal data outside of the EEA.

In general, all of the Ayvens databases are located inside the European Union. However, Ayvens may transfer your personal data from the Europe to countries within or outside the European Economic Area. The countries outside of the EEA may not provide the same level of protection as is available in the EEA. If we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will ensure that adequate levels of protection are in place in relation to the processing of your personal data. Hence, ALD will before transferring your personal data outside Europe make sure to implement a Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) or a Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

However, certain countries outside the EEA have been approved by the European Commission as providing essentially equivalent protections to EEA data protection laws and therefore no additional safeguards are required to export personal data to these jurisdictions. These countries are listed online at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en.
