Legal bases and purposes of processing

We always process your personal data for a specific purpose and only process the personal data which is relevant to achieve that purpose.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it and which we informed you about, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason which is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Recipients of personal data

We may use or disclose personal data if we are required by law to do so or if we reasonably believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process.

To achieve the purposes mentioned above, the personal data is transmitted to the following recipients:

  • Internal employees who have permission;
  • Network, technology systems and IT service providers acting as processors and on instruction from Cap4Lab.

Any relationship with a processor is managed in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 of the GDPR. Cap4Lab only uses processors that provide sufficient guarantees and abide by the same obligations.

Some of the above-mentioned recipients may be based in third countries. Where this is the case, transfers will be undertaken in line with Chapter V of the GDPR and applicable data protection laws and regulations. Where a third-party service providers process personal data outside the EEA in the course of providing services to us, our written agreement with them will include appropriate measures, usually in the form of standard contractual clauses.

Personal data retention period

Your personal data is stored by Cap4Lab only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which we obtained them.

Thus, the log files collected during interactions with the websites are destroyed after 1 month after the moment of the collection.

Furthermore, the personal data we collect when responding to your requests will not be kept for more than 3 years from the last contact with Cap4Lab if no contact is signed between you and Cap4Lab.

We may also keep and process your personal data after the termination of our contractual or commercial relationship for specific purposes such as the compliance with other legal obligations (as a rule, data must be kept for a period of 10 years for commercial matters) or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, we will securely destroy your personal data using cryptography in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Security of processing

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk so that the processing complies with the GDPR and applicable data protection laws.

These measures must provide for a level of security considered appropriate considering the technical standards and the type of personal data processed but also:

  • the state of the art and implementation costs.
  • the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing; and
  • the likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

Security requirements are continually evolving, and effective security requires frequent assessment and regular improvement of outdated security measures. We are committed to continuously evaluate, strengthen, and improve the measures we implement.

Data subjects’ rights

As a natural person, you have several rights regarding your personal data that we can exercise in certain circumstances, including:

  • the right of access: You can request access to the data concerning you at any time as well as a copy of the data.
  • the right to rectification: You can request at any time that inaccurate or incomplete data be rectified.
  • the right to erasure: You can request that your data be deleted when, for example, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed.
  • the right to restriction of processing: You can request that Cap4Lab restrict the processing of data if, for example, you question the accuracy of the data concerning you or if you object to the processing of data concerning you.
  • the right to data portability: You have the right to have your data transferred to another data controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, if the processing is carried out by automated means or if it is based on prior consent.
  • the right to object to processing: You can object to the processing of your data and can withdraw your consent if the processing is based on consent, for example if the data is used for commercial prospecting purposes.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at dpo@cap4group.com

Your request will be responded to within 1 month at the latest, starting from the moment of your identity confirmation. We may extend the time limit by a further 2 months if the request is complex or if we have received a high number of requests.

You will in general not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your individual rights mentioned in this Notice. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request to exercise your individual rights is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you also have the right to lodge a complaint at any time with the competent supervisory authority within the EU depending, among other things, on the country the place of your habitual residence (where you live most of the time), on the place where you work or on the place where you believe infringement may have happened.
