of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">To determine the appropriate retention period for your 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, regulatory, tax, accounting and other requirements.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">To comply with the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting requirements we keep your personal data for a
minimum period of 7 (seven) years from the date our business relationship is terminated. We may need to retain
your information for a longer period where we need the information to comply with regulatory or legal
requirements or where we may need it for our legitimate business purposes, such as to respond to queries or
complaints, fighting fraud and financial crime and responding to requests from regulators.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">At the expiration of the personal data retention period the personal data is erased by irreversible
destruction and we also inform all third parties, to whom the personal data was transferred, regarding such
erasure and request implementation of similar actions on their part.</p></div> <div class="page-policy__block svelte-1aaa49l"><h2 class="svelte-1aaa49l">7. YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW TO WITHDRAW CONSENTS AND UNSUBSCRIBE</h2> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">Under certain circumstances in accordance with GDPR and the applicable local legislation as amended from time
to time you have rights, which we will always work to uphold. Some of the rights are rather complex and
include exemptions, thus we strongly advise you to contact us (at the contact details listed in the section
OUR CONTACT DETAILS below) and/or seek guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of
these rights. You can find a summary of your rights below in this section:</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>A. The right to access.</strong> You have a right to obtain the confirmation as to whether or not your
data is being processed by us. In addition, you have a right to obtain more detailed information about the data
kept and the processing undertaken by us and under certain circumstances the right to receive a copy of this data.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>B. The right to rectification.</strong> You have the right to have inaccurate data about you rectified,
and, taking into account the purpose of the processing, to have incomplete data completed.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>C. The right to erasure.</strong> This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there
is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Please note however that we may not always be able to comply
with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time
of your request. In case if you want to obtain complete erasure of your data (to apply the "right to be forgotten"),
please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which
will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>D. The right to restriction of processing.</strong> You have the right to request the restriction of processing
of your personal data (a) if it is not accurate;(b) where processing may be unlawful but you do not want us to
erase your data; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it; or (d) where you may have
objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>E. The right to data portability.</strong> To the extent the legal basis for the processing is your consent,
and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your data in a structured,
commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the
rights and freedoms of others and/or in case it may be technically impossible to do so.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>F. The right to object.</strong> Subject to the legal basis on which the processing activity is based,
you may object to processing of your personal data. Please note that in some cases, we may have compelling legitimate
grounds to process your information which we need to comply with.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>G. The right to withdraw consent.</strong> To the extent that the legal basis for the processing is your
consent, you have the right to withdraw from that consent at any time. This may apply to marketing purposes and/or
with regards to the transfer of your data to third parties. In case you withdraw from a consent given, then we
will cease to process your data, unless and to the extent the continued processing is permitted or required according
to the applicable data regulation or other applicable laws and regulations. The withdrawal from your consent will
in no event affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>H. The right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority.</strong> We do our best to ensure
that we protect your data, keep you informed about how we process your data and comply with the applicable data
protection regulation. In case you are not satisfied with the processing and protection of your data or the information
you have received from us, then we urge you to inform us in order for us to improve. Please also do not hesitate
to contact us, if you want to make use of your rights.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">If you want to exercise any of your rights mentioned above and/or obtain more information regarding your
rights and/or our policies and procedures please contact us through the points of contact listed in the
Section OUR CONTACT DETAILS below. Please also provide us with relevant information to take care of your
request, including your full name and email address so that we can identify you. We will respond to your
request without undue delay.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to
access your data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal
data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you further
information in relation to your request to speed up our response.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take longer than a month
if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify
you and keep you updated.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">We may charge you a reasonable administrative fee for any unreasonable or excessive requests we may receive,
and for any additional copies of the data you may request.</p></div> <div class="page-policy__block svelte-1aaa49l"><h2 class="svelte-1aaa49l">8. DATA SECURITY</h2> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">We protect your data by adhering to industry standard regulations on data protection by categorising them into
data types (e.g. technical, personal data, cookie data, etc) while applying relevant protection processes and
due diligence procedures. Therefore, we apply appropriate technical and organisational controls to protect
your data, including secure computer systems adopting least privilege access in order to prevent unauthorised
access, disclosure, modification, or destruction of personal data. Any hard copy documents are locked in a
secure cabinet, and destroyed once no longer required.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>Encryption of your data in transit.</strong> Encryption provides a high level of security and privacy for
your personal data. When personal data in provided when using our Services, we use strong encryption technologies
(such as Transport Layer Security) to protect the personal data during transmission from your devices to our servers.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">For providing more trust and security we use digital EV (Extended Validation) Certificates issued by trusted
Certificate Authorities. You can see the 'Green Bar' in the supported browser versions which confirms what all
transmitted personal data is secure.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>Protection of your data in our infrastructure.</strong> We make it a priority to develop Services that
are secure "by default". The "default" security of our Services means that every new services and features are
designed with strict security requirements in mind before we even begin development. This is the key to guaranteed
protection and privacy of all personal data that our Services handle and store, once the service or new feature
is released.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">To secure personal data, we use the pseudonymisation which allows most of our Services to operate without
using your actual data. Instead of that, our services use a system ID that can't be traced back to identify
you.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">Quadcode is always vigilant about the Security of the personal data stored in our infrastructure. Because of
that we locate all our equipment used for your personal data processing in secure personal data centres.
Network access to this equipment is isolated from the Internet. We use network segmentation for isolation of
Services which need different level of security from each other. In addition, we restrict logical access to
the personal data for our employees on "need to know" basis. So, only personnel, who really require access to
the personal data for the purpose of providing you with our best Service, will have access to it.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>Threats protection.</strong> Quadcode is highly knowledgeable about modern threats to personal data security
and privacy, and we are well prepared to combat them. All events that occur in our infrastructure are continuously
monitored, analysed and responded, which allows us to ensure proper protection of your personal data, keeping it
safe from threats, vulnerabilities, and the effects of malware.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l">In the event of a failure that affects the accessibility of your personal data, we have personal data backup
and recovery procedures in place that will help us to restore your personal data in a short time. For further
guarantee the quick recovery we use high availability mode enabled for most critical databases which allows us
to minimise downtime.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>Employee awareness of data security.</strong> Our employees may handle your personal data in order to provide
you with the first-class Service. To guarantee the security and confidentiality of your personal data, we monitor
all employees' actions with access to your personal data in our systems and grant access strictly on a "need to
know" basis: only employees who need access will receive it. We hold regular training sessions to make sure that
each employee understands the principles that Quadcode follows to achieve robust data security and privacy.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>If you choose not to give your personal information.</strong> In the context of our business relationship
we may need to collect data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you. Without this data, we are,
in principle, not in a position to close or execute a contract with you. If you choose not to give us this data,
it may delay or prevent us from meeting our obligations. It may also mean that we cannot perform the Services.</p> <p class="svelte-1aaa49l"><strong>To what extent we carry automated decision-making and profiling.</strong> In establishing and carrying
out a business relationship, we generally do not use automated decision-making. If we use this procedure in individual
cases, we will inform you of this separately. In some cases, we may proceed with profiling in order to evaluate
certain personal aspects. We shall inform you accordingly in case we perform any profiling. In general, any data
collection that is optional would be made clear at the point of collection.</p></div> <div class="page-policy__block svelte-1aaa49l"><h2 class="svelte-1aaa49l">9.
