TO WHOM WE TRANSMIT THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU

It is possible that the personal data concerning you be transmitted to some third parties- companies which we collaborate with in order to provide you with full services, for instance, beauty services, marketing companies, auditing companies, outsourced companies for IT services, competent authorities, etc . Whenever we do so, we provide that it is duly reasoned, that we transmit solely the data strictly required for the purpose of the transmission and we endeavour to provide that the recipient provides a high standard of protection to the personal data.

If the data are processed by a third party provider/supplier/partner/agent for the controller MEDUSA under a service contract whatsoever between MEDUSA and such third party (acting as processor in terms of GDPR), such contracts are entered into in written form and include a series of specific clauses, under which such third parties would provide MEDUSA with sufficient safeguards for the implementation of suitable technical and organizational measures, so that the processing would complies with the requirements provided for in  GDPR and provide the protection of the data subject’s rights.

The personal data may be transferred to an international organization or to a third state in relation to EU and EEA (EEA includes both EU and Island, Liechestenstein and Norway) solely if such organization or state to which the transfer is contemplated may provide a suitable level of protection as per the requirements in  GDPR.

The transfer of data to an international organization or to a state whose legislation does not provide an suitable  level of protection, acknowledged under an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission, is possible solely if there are sufficient safeguards in relation to the protection of the fundamental rights of the data subjects and provided that the data subjects have effective remedies at law and opposable rights . Such safeguards are established by  MEDUSA, as per  GDPR, in contracts/ agreements entered into with suppliers/ service providers to which the data are transferred or in other legal way, from case to case.

 

FOR HOW LONG AND HOW WE PRESERVE THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU

We preserve the personal data concerning you as long as we need them or for the period provided for by the effective law. We provide in the Information Notes and our Consent Forms, as well as in contracts, actual information on the retention periods applicable to each separate case.

Insofar as it is possible, we render anonymous the data that are no longer necessary in a way enabling  the identification of the data subjects or we implement the pseudonimysation in order to limit the risks related to the processed personal data.
