Below, we describe the categories of recipients of your personal data:

• IT service providers to provide additional functionalities and services on our website.
  

As part of the use of Intralinks we transfer personal data to the USA. As part of the use of Google Analytics we transfer your shortened IP address to the USA. The data transfer is based on the EU Commission implementing decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12 July 2016 pursuant to Directive 95/46/EG of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-US data privacy shield.

These retention obligations can last from two to ten years.

Right to limitation of processing: Under the conditions of art. 18 GDPR you are entitled to request from us the limitation of the processing of your personal data.

Right to data transferability: You are entitled, under the conditions of art. 20 GDPR, to request from us the provision to you of the personal data relating to you that you have submitted to us in a structured, current and machine-readable format.
