Storing your data within and outside the EEA

Our third-party data host provider uses servers located in the UK and Europe to storepersonal data. As a result, when you use the App to make transactions or update youraccount information, your personal data may be transferred to the UK which is locatedoutside of the European Economic Area and so is not governed by European dataprotection laws.

However, UAB “Finansinės paslaugos „Contis“ has entered into EU standard contractual clauses with any third party or group company in order to safeguard personal data which is processed or stored in the UK. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy when it is transferred, stored or processed in this way.

Whenever fraud prevention agencies transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area, they impose the EU standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission on the recipients of that data in order to safeguard personal data when it is accessed from outside of the European Economic Area. They may also require the recipient to subscribe to ‘international frameworks’ intended to enable secure datasharing.

More information about the Model Clauses is available here https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087.

Future changes

Any changes we make to our policy will be put on our Website and App and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail.  Please check for updates from time to time.

Retention of your Data

We will retain your personal data for as long as you continue to use our services.  Thereafter, we may retain your information for an additional period as is permitted or required under applicable laws. For example:

• If you hold an account with us, your personal data will be retained for six years after the closure of your account to comply with our obligations under anti-money laundering regulations;
• If you make a complaint, your personal data relating to that complaint will be retained for five years from the resolution of that complaint to defend against legal claims; and
• If you make any transactions on your account, your personal data relating to that transaction will be retained for seven years from the date of the transaction to comply with taxation and accountancy legislation.

Your rights

Data protection laws provide you with the following rights to:

• request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it;

• request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected;
• request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below);

• request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it; and
• request a copy of your personal data which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to transfer it, or to require us to transfer it directly, to another controller.
• object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights above). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

If you are unhappy about how your personal data has been used please refer to our complaints procedures which is available by contacting us. You also have a right to complain to the supervisory authority, which in the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner's Office https://ico.org.uk/ and in Lithuania is the State Data Protection Inspectorate https://vdai.lrv.lt/en/, who regulate the processing of personal data.
