05International transfers
The platform is cross-border and information may be accessed or processed in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, United States or other relevant markets. Where data-protection law restricts an international transfer, an applicable adequacy decision, approved contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism will be used, together with supplementary protections where required. Further information about a particular safeguard is available on request.
06How long information is kept
General enquiries are normally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. Information connected with an active relationship, due-diligence process or transaction may be kept for the duration of that matter and afterwards for the period needed to meet legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, insurance or claims requirements. Security logs are retained for a shorter period unless needed to investigate an incident. Information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer reasonably required.
07Your rights
Depending on the law that applies, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal information; to withdraw consent; and to object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing. These rights may be subject to lawful exemptions.
Your right to objectYou may object at any time to direct marketing. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests by explaining your particular situation. Send a request to zans@launags.com. Identity may be verified before a request is completed.
You may complain to the data-protection authority where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. Contacting us first may allow the issue to be resolved promptly, but it is not a condition of complaining to an authority.
