We may ask for your consent for certain individual actions, and we may be required to comply with legal obligations, such as those provided under tax legislation.

Drawing up and executing agreements with natural persons

Personal data processed for the purpose of concluding and executing agreements with natural persons shall be retained for 10 years from the end of the contractual relationship.

For the purposes set out above, we will process the personal data that you directly provide before and during the conclusion of the agreement. If you do not provide this information, we will not be able to conclude and perform the agreement.

Drawing up and executing agreements with legal entities

Personal data of counterparty employees and representatives processed for the purpose of concluding and executing agreements with legal entities shall be retained for 10 years from the end of the contractual relationship. The ground for data processing is legitimate interest.
