The personal data we collect is retained for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and for a maximum period of:
[3 years from the end of the business relationship for partners or customers, and 3 years from the date of data collection or the last contact for prospects, in both cases solely for marketing purposes]

3.4 Data recipients
The personal data collected about you is intended for Eurotechni.
In order to carry out the processing operations listed above, we may share your data by granting access to authorised and duly qualified personnel, namely:
The data we may collect about you is not intended to be transferred outside the European Union. However, should such a transfer occur, we guarantee that, in the event of your data being transferred abroad, particularly outside the European Union, we will implement all appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for your data, such as:
- Transfer data to countries considered “safe”, meaning countries that provide a high level of protection for your data;
- Request the necessary authorisations from the relevant supervisory authority before collecting any data, where required by the country concerned;
- Obtain security and confidentiality guarantees from processors, for example by imposing strict contractual clauses, reserving the right to carry out regular checks and conducting audits.
4. Security and confidentiality of collected personal data
The security and confidentiality of the personal data you entrust to us is a priority. We therefore take all appropriate technical and organisational measures, taking into account the nature of the personal data you provide and the risks associated with its processing.
This is intended to safeguard the security of your personal data and, in particular, to prevent it from being altered, destroyed or damaged, or accessed by unauthorised third parties.
The security and confidentiality of personal data also depend on everyone following good practices. We therefore recommend that you do not share your username and password with third parties, that you always log out of your profile and customer account, particularly where accounts are linked, that you close your browser window at the end of each session, especially when accessing the Internet from a computer shared with other people, and that you do not save your username and password in your browser. This will help prevent other users from accessing your personal information.
