Thus, we strive to collect only the personal information we need.
Our use of your personal information as described above is permitted under applicable data protection law because it is:

How long we keep your data
The length of time your personal data is retained depends on the purpose for which the data is processed. It is not possible to set out the different data retention periods here in a reasonably comprehensible manner within this policy. The criteria used to determine the applicable data retention period are as follows: we will retain personal information as defined in this policy for as long as necessary to fulfill the intended purposes, as necessary for the purposes of our business relationship with you, as consented to by you and/or as required by applicable data retention laws and regulations.
If you are an applicant for a job, personal information related to the application is generally stored for 2 years. After that, it is deleted.
Disclosure to Third Parties
In order to facilitate the use of your information and to provide you with content and/or resources, we share your information with third parties. However, this disclosure will only occur in the following circumstances:
- Disclosure to contractors: From time to time, we may hire or engage other companies to perform certain functions on our behalf. For example, this may be the case for the hosting and/or maintenance of the website content, the development of certain features, or the provision of financial information at your request. All these third parties are subject to a strict duty of confidentiality and are not authorized to use your personal information for any other purpose.
- Disclosure to SIFA group entities: Other entities may use your data to respond to your requests and to ensure the performance of their duties in connection with SIFA services.
- Communication to governmental authorities: Authorities may request access to certain information. In this case we are legally obliged to provide this information.

- Other companies in the SIFA group: These companies are subject to compliance with this privacy policy to ensure that your personal information continues to receive an appropriate level of protection.
We endeavour to take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is processed securely and in accordance with this Policy.
Data Security
At SIFA, we believe that respect for privacy relies on a robust security system. We use administrative and technical security measures to protect your personal data, taking into account the nature and processing of personal data, as well as the threats. We constantly seek to improve these security features through our monitoring tools to ensure the security of your personal data.
Although we are committed to doing everything necessary to ensure that our systems are as secure as possible, the transmission of your personal data is your sole responsibility in the event of a breach.

Under applicable data protection laws, your rights are as follows:
- Right to access and obtain a copy of your personal data: You are entitled to request confirmation that we are processing any personal information about you.
