|
How long is BDO going to keep my data after it has finished with it?
|
We will only use your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above in our answer to question 3. After that, unless you exercise your right to have your data erased immediately, we’ll keep your personal data for six (6) years, protected by compulsory security measures that mean your data will be ‘blocked’ by pseudonimization. When the six-year period is up, we will erase the data from our information-processing system.
|
|

|
Does BDO do any automated processing or profiling with my data?
|
Yes, we inform you that, in order to process data for the purpose(s) explained above, we may rely on automatic decision-making, which includes data profiling. For instance, we might do so when running statistical analyses or market studies to enable us to improve our services and upgrade our technology.
At all events, to ensure that your personal data are processed with every appropriate guarantee, in cases like that we will restrict our data use to those specific data that are absolutely vital for profiling, never all the data you’ve consented to let us have.
We also inform you that processing as described above (based on automatic processing) will never involve any injury for you and will never involve the revelation, exposure, alteration or manipulation of your personal data. The main consequences will be that we will be able to send you e-mail tailored to your needs and circumstances if you have consented to receive e-mail from us, as explained in the answer to question 3.

What technical and/or organizational security measures does BDO apply when processing my personal data?
|
BDO has taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to guarantee the security of the personal data we process and to avoid alteration, loss, or unauthorized processing of or access to the personal data we process, taking account of the state of the art, the nature of the data we store and the risks they’re exposed to (which include the risks of human action and risks from the physical or natural environment). More particularly, we’ve taken measures aimed at reaching basic security objectives, like confidentiality (by which we mean limiting unauthorized persons’ access to information), integrity (by which we mean maintaining reliable, quality information) and availability (by which we mean guaranteed access to the information system at an authorized user’s request).

|
Who can BDO share my data with and/or transfer my data to?
|
We won’t transfer your personal data to anybody, unless we’re obliged to do so by law or you have given us your express authorization first.
Nevertheless, in order to provide you with the services we’ve mentioned before or send you the information you require from us, we may need to share your personal data with other companies in the BDO network (www.bdo.global) or some of our outside partners, like providers of logistics services and/or computer services, such as web hosting, data analysis, opinion surveys, infrastructure provision and services like that.
|
|

|
Will my data be transferred to third countries?
|
We won’t transfer your personal data to third parties located in countries outside the European Union unless we have to share them with other firms in the BDO network (www.bdo.global) for the purposes listed in our answer to question 3. In that case, please bear in mind that there are BDO companies located in third countries whose personal data protection legislation may not have been found by the Commission to provide an adequate level of protection.

|

|
What about links to outside service providers that I see on BDO’s website?
|
The website may contain links to other websites or social forums that BDO website users may find interesting. BDO takes no responsibility for these links and offers no guarantees that they comply with adequate privacy policies. Therefore, if you go to any of these websites, you do so on your own responsibility, under the terms and conditions set by them.
Our Privacy Policy does not apply to them, and we are not responsible for the privacy, information or other practices provided by third parties. That includes any third party that may appear in search results and the websites you can get to from this web space. Just because a link is included on our website by us or any of our subsidiaries, that does not imply that we can vouch for the webspace the link leads to.
