This is the definition that we find in Law No. 81/2018 on the regulation of the activity of telecommuting. The transfer of data from the Company to the teleworkers, and from the teleworkers to the Company, will be done through secure channels and verified by the IT Administrator of CCS Sarl. 

8. Storing personal data

Your personal data is stored for as long as necessary to carry out all the steps taken to support the activities of Corporate Counseling Services Sarl. We have implemented technical and organizational measures for the organization of the process and specific criteria for the retention of your personal data, through our own Personal Data Retention Policy (including according to our archiving procedures). 

We will cease processing personal data when it is no longer reasonably necessary for the permitted purposes, or when you withdraw your consent (if applicable) and:

(i) there are no longer compelling legitimate grounds for further processing by Corporate Counselling Services Sarl (including the legal obligation of Corporate Counselling Services Sarl to continue to store the data concerned) which override your interests, rights and freedoms; or
(ii) if they are no longer necessary for us to establish, exercise or defend a right in court. 

The duration of storage of data obtained through the video surveillance system is proportional to the purpose for which the data is processed, so that the images are stored for a period not exceeding 30 days – Law 190/2018, Art. 5. 

According to the provisions of Art. 9 cap. II of GD no. 301/2012, the closed-circuit television equipment must ensure the acquisition of images from the access area, both from the outside and from the inside, the working area with the public, the vehicle routes and access to the storage area of data, goods and valuables, ensuring the storage of images for a minimum period of 20 days. 

However, data may be kept for a longer period in two cases: for one year, for the purpose of proving the provision of services, if it is not possible to provide such proof by other means; in case of dispute of the services performed, until the dispute is settled. 

At the end of the storage period, the data are deleted automatically in the order in which they were recorded. 

In the event of a security incident, as well as in duly justified cases, the retention period of the relevant footage may exceed the normal limits depending on the time required for further investigation of the security incident. 

Retention is rigorously documented and the need for retention is reviewed periodically (every two months).

We may transfer your personal data to states that are part of the European Economic Area or to states that have been recognized by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection of personal data, if such transfer is necessary for processing in accordance with the permitted purposes described above. 

In exceptional circumstances, if it is necessary to provide Corporate Counselling Services Sarl services for the permitted purposes, we may transfer your personal data to third countries which have not been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection. 

We will ensure that these international transfers are carried out subject to appropriate safeguards (such as under Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission) as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or other applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time, using the contact details below, if you would like further information about these safeguards.
