We keep personal data in any event for as long as is it necessary to achieve the purpose.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not stipulate specific storage periods for personal data. Other legislation may specify minimum storage periods, however. If it does, we are under the obligation to observe these periods. Such legislation includes tax laws or laws governing financial undertakings specifically.
If we become involved in a lawsuit or other legal proceedings in Belgium or in another country, we keep personal data so that we can defend our position. We may store this personal data in an archive until any claims have expired and legal proceedings can no longer be initiated.
