Who receives your personal data?

We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for commercial reasons, unless with your prior consent.

If necessary for the internal reorganisation or transfer of activities, we may pass on your data to new entities within the UBA group or to third parties who might assure the continuity of our services. In that case, we shall inform you in advance in so far as possible, but you should understand that this is not always technically or commercially feasible.

UBA can appoint external service providers in order to perform specific services. These service providers will perform data processing operations on our behalf and under our order (in the capacity of processor).

UBA will select processors carefully in accordance with the applicable law on data protection. In addition, UBA will ensure that the processing operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of any written contract and with legal regulations in the field of data processing.

We share your data for the following reasons:

• With CheckpointA for registering members for events;
• With Procurios for participating in online events;
• With Office 365, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn for possible event photos;
• With Vimeo for watching video training courses;
• With Google Analytics tools online and for usage analysis;
• With Piwik PRO Core tool for user analysis;
• With a view to account verification;
• Within the framework of services to members and dealing with questions; for organisation and events we share this with our partners, who you can in any case request from us via e-mail; and
• Within the framework of trust in and the security of our services (for example, prevention of fraud).

Under certain circumstances, the processors that we appointed have access to your personal data, but exclusively for the purpose of the requested data processing.

In rare cases we can be obliged to disclose personal data on the basis of a court order or in order to comply with other imperative laws or regulations. To the best of our ability we shall try to inform you in advance, unless that is not possible for legal reasons.

We always try to make maximum use of European suppliers, but if we must call upon non-European third parties, we make sure that your data is just as secure outside of Europe as it is here in Europe. For example, where necessary we conclude Standard Contractual Clauses with these partners and we secure additional guarantees.

How long do we retain your personal data?

We keep your personal data for as long as necessary, as a function of the purposes of the processing, as explained below in greater detail.

• Member data: we retain your member data for a maximum of 6 years after the end of the collaboration. For legal reasons we must keep your invoicing data for 10 years as of the calendar year following the invoice date;
