However, the provision of certain of your personal data is necessary to visit our website, to enter into a contract with us or to receive our services/products or information as requested by you. In certain cases, the provision of your personal data is voluntary.

(a) Recipients You should expect that we will transfer your personal data to third parties for the processing purposes described above as follows:

• Within Transcom Group: Transcom and each of its affiliates and subsidiaries within the global Transcom Group listed on www.transcom.com may receive your personal data as necessary for the processing purposes described above. Depending on the categories of personal data and the purposes for which the personal data has been collected, different internal departments within Transcom receive your personal data. Moreover, other departments within Transcom have access to certain personal data about you on a need-to-know basis, such as the legal department, the finance department or internal auditing.
• With data processors: Certain third-party service providers such as IT support providers, whether affiliated or unaffiliated, will receive your personal data to process such data under appropriate instructions (" Processors") as necessary for the processing purposes described above, such as Website service providers, customer care providers, marketing service providers, IT support service providers, or other service providers who support us in maintaining our relationship with you. The Processors will be subject to contractual obligations to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to safeguard the personal data, and to process the personal data only as instructed. Further information regarding data processors, especially in regard to using this website, is described within our Cookie Policy.
• Other recipients: We may transfer – in compliance with applicable data protection law – personal data to law enforcement agencies, governmental authorities, judicial authorities, legal counsel, external consultants, or business partners. In case of a corporate merger or acquisition, personal data may be transferred to the third parties involved in the merger or acquisition. We will not disclose your personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes or for any other purposes without permission.

Any access to your personal data is restricted to those individuals that have a need-to-know in order to fulfill their job responsibilities. Transcom will also disclose your personal data as required or permitted by applicable law to professional advisors, governmental authorities, and courts.

(b) International transfers

We may use services whose providers are partly located in so-called third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) or transfer personal data there, i.e. countries whose level of data protection does not correspond to that of the European Union.

If an adequacy decision of the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR) exists for these countries, we base the data transfer on this decision. This applies, for example, to transfers to Argentina, Israel, Japan, Canada, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay or the United Kingdom. In the case of the USA, this only applies if the US recipient has certified itself for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

If no adequacy decision has been issued for the country in question, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection for any data transfers. These include the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or binding corporate rules (Art. 46 GDPR).

Where this is not possible, we base the transfer of data on exceptions under Art. 49 GDPR, in particular your explicit consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

If a transfer to a third country is planned and there is no adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence agencies) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyse it, and that the enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. If your explicit consent is obtained, you will also be informed of this.

Your data may be forwarded in particular to the recipients in third countries mentioned in the section about the recipients of data.

Your personal data will be retained as long as necessary to provide you with the services and products requested. Once you have terminated the contractual relationship with us, you have deleted your account, or the relationship with us has been otherwise ended, we will remove your personal data from our systems and records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it (unless we need to keep your information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which Transcom is subject – e.g., taxation purposes).

Personal data will in principle be deleted 2 years after the last interaction and business contact between you and Transcom. However, we will retain your contact details and interests in our products or services for a longer period of time if Transcom is allowed to send you marketing materials. Also, we typically erase contracts, communications, and business letters containing personal data, or we redact personal data from such documents, 10 years after their termination or creation, as such data may be subject to statutory retention requirements, which often require retention of up to 10 years.

We may also retain your personal data on a need-to-know basis only after the termination of the contractual relationship if your personal data are necessary to comply with other applicable laws or if we need your personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. To the extent possible, we will restrict the processing of your personal data for such limited purposes after the termination of the contractual relationship.

Your data will be stored especially for the following periods:

• Usage Data: for the time of your visit and beyond in logfiles for a limited period.
• Online Form Data: for the time necessary to process your request.
• Newsletter Data: for the time of your subscription and beyond for documentation obligations.
• Data privacy requests / data subject requests:for three years to prove the fulfilment of your data privacy requests / data subject request.

Right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, Art. 7 (3) GDPR: If you have given your consent regarding certain types of processing activities (in particular regarding the receipt of certain direct marketing communications), you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal. You can withdraw your consent especially by writing to Communications@transcom.com or otherwise described in this Notice.
