Transfer of personal data. You are informed that certain recipients may be located outside the territory of the European Economic Area in countries that do not offer a level of protection equivalent to the one granted in the European Union. Any personal data transfer to such recipients will, depending on the nature of the transfer:

  • be covered by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, in which case you may obtain a copy by contacting us; or
  • be otherwise authorised under data protection law, as the case may be, as such transfer is necessary for the performance or execution of a contract concluded in your interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the performance of a contract between you and us.

4. RETENTION

ABHH will store your personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant processing activity to be completed and/or for the retention period permitted under applicable law.

5. YOUR RIGHTS

In relation to your personal data, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data held about you and receive additional information about how it is processed;
  • rectify or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
  • seek the erasure of your personal data when its processing is no longer necessary for the purposes described above, when the processing is not or no longer lawful for any reasons, when you have withdrawn your consent to the processing according to applicable laws, when the erasure is necessary to comply with applicable laws or when you object to the processing in the absence of any overriding legitimate ground for such processing;
  • object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to any processing based on ABHH’s legitimate interest;
  • receive your personal data and transmit it to another data controller to the extent that the legitimacy of the processing lies on contractual performance and is carried out by automated means;
  • withdraw any consent given to the processing at any time to the extent that your consent justified such processing; and
  • seek the restriction of the processing, for instance, when you contest the accuracy of the personal data or when the processing is not or no longer compliant with the exception of storage, only processed in specific cases (e.g. for the establishment, exercise or defence of ABHH’s legal claims).

ABHH will respond to individual complaints and questions relating to privacy and will investigate and attempt to resolve all complaints. We will only be able to answer favourably to any of the above requests related to the right to oppose, right of erasure and right of restriction provided that it does not interfere with or contradict a legal obligation of ABHH (e.g. legal obligation to keep the related personal data) or due to any other impediment that would justify that ABHH would not be able to grant such requests. ABHH undertakes to handle each request free of charge and within a reasonable timeframe (in any case no longer than 1 month).

You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in Luxembourg, the Commission Nationale pour la Protection des Données (the “CNPD”), or with your local data protection authority if you do not reside in Luxembourg, a list of which is available at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
