If a purpose changes, we will take the steps required by Article 18 of PIPA, such as obtaining separate consent. - Receiving and answering inquiries: reviewing and answering inquiries sent through the website (investment, recruitment, business, other) and keeping a record of the consultation - Website statistics: analysing which pages are visited and how visitors arrive, to improve the website (including per-visitor statistics and which pages led to an inquiry, if you accept analytics cookies) - Keeping the website safe: preventing spam and abuse, responding to security incidents, keeping a record of cookie choices The Company does not use personal information collected on the website to send advertising or marketing messages. 2.

Your visit records may then be linked to that inquiry. B. Processed without consent, with the legal basis (PIPA Article 22(3)) - The time an inquiry was received, browser information, and an irreversibly transformed value of the sender's IP address: preventing spam and abuse (Article 15(1)6, legitimate interests).

Retention periods - Inquiries: 3 years from the date received. If you ask us to delete an inquiry earlier, we delete it without delay. - The transformed IP value used against abuse: same period as the inquiry - Analytics records (including the visitor ID if you consented): 13 months from collection; after that only statistics that cannot identify anyone are kept - Cookie-choice records: 2 years from the choice - Access logs: 6 months - Analytics consent is valid for 12 months, after which we ask again. If you decline, we do not ask again for 6 months. 4. Destruction - Procedure: personal information is destroyed without delay once its retention period ends or its purpose is achieved. Where another law requires it to be kept, it is stored separately from other personal information and only for that period. - Method: electronic files are deleted so that they cannot be recovered; paper documents are shredded or incinerated. 5. Provision to third parties The Company does not provide personal information to third parties, except where permitted under Articles 17 and 18 of PIPA, such as when a law specifically requires it. 6.
