Keeping personal data
The criteria used to determine the period for which Personal Information will be retained varies depending on the legal basis under which we process the Personal Information:
- Legitimate Interests. Where we are processing Personal Information based on our legitimate interests, we generally will retain such information for a reasonable period of time based on the particular interest, taking into account the fundamental interests and the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
- Consent. Where we are processing Personal Information based on your consent, we generally will retain the information until you withdraw your consent, or otherwise for the period of time necessary to fulfil the underlying agreement with you or provide you with the applicable service for which we process that Personal Information.
- Contract. Where we are processing Personal Information based on contract, we generally will retain the information for the duration of the contract plus some additional limited period of time that is necessary to comply with law or that represents the statute of limitations for legal claims that could arise from the contractual relationship.
- Legal Obligation. Where we are processing Personal Information based on a legal obligation, we generally will retain the information for the period of time necessary to fulfil the legal obligation. For example, when you place an order for services such as to buy an NFT from the Fabricant, we retain that information for a minimum period of six years following the end of the financial year in which you placed your order for tax purposes.
- Legal Claim. We may need to apply a “legal hold” that retains information beyond our typical retention period where we face threat of legal claim. In that case, we will retain the information until the hold is removed, which typically means the claim or threat of claim has been resolved.
Securing Information
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure information and to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful use and accidental loss or destruction, including:
- Minimal sharing and access to information where necessary;
- Storing information on servers protected with a security system;
- Verifying an identity prior to authorising access to information; and
- Using encryption technology in payment transactions made via our website.
