XI. DATA RETENTION
We process personal data only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was originally collected, after which it will be deleted or archived except to the extent that it is necessary for us to continue to process it for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject or for another legitimate and lawful purpose.
The data retention periods may be extended, if necessary, in the event of any claims and court proceedings – for the duration of these proceedings and their settlement.
Sometimes your personal data may be available in different sites and places such as the Internet for indefinite period, and the group of recipients of your data is therefore unlimited.

XV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
a. Scope
This section applies to the processing of personal data that is within the scope of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) – when it is carried out by FDNA (as a data controller) and concerns users who are in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). In case of any doubts please contact us at [email protected].
b. GDPR Compliance
FDNA complies with the GDPR in regards to collecting, processing, and transferring the personal data of our EEA to non-EEA areas.
Our servers and data processing facilities are based in Ireland. In principle, all data processing activities are conducted within the EEA. However, in case we rely on a provider with data processing premises in a non-EEA country or in a jurisdiction that has not been declared adequate by the European Commission, FDNA uses EU standard contractual clauses (an agreement approved by the European Commission which gives personal data the same protection it has in the EU for data processing in non-EU countries) to ensure compliance with applicable EEA data protection and privacy regulations for our EU users. The EU standard contractual clauses used are available under the URL https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en
If you have any questions or concerns, please send an email to [email protected].

If you are contacting us, for example, you have given us your information with a request to send you particular information, we process your data in order to respond to your query and for the purpose of further contact in this matter. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in accordance with this purpose will be your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Additionally, with regard to processing of your personal data in order to:
- defend against or to make claims – the legal basis for processing of your personal data will be our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR);
- fulfil legal obligations of the data controller (g. tax, accounting) – the legal basis for processing of your personal data will be the necessity for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

- collected for the purposes of conclusion and performance of a contract such as our Terms of Usewill be processed for the duration of the contract;

- processed on the basis of your consent will be processed until its possible withdrawal or fulfilment of the purpose for which it was given.
The above-mentioned rules will apply unless any law or regulation (e.g. regarding archiving, taxation, accounting) or an order issued by any authority obliges us to process such data for a longer period, or in case of potential claims, for such claim’s limitation period specified by law – whichever is longer.
