In general terms, we don’t keep your personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed. After such time, we will either delete or anonymise your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

For example, if we would like to transfer your personal data to the US then we may rely on the Privacy Shield Framework between the EU and US. If a country lacks an adequacy decision from the EU, we would sign the EU Model Contract Clauses with the recipient. If LB Consulting Group will transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA, then LB Consulting Group will update this Privacy Policy with the applicable adequacy decision by the Commission regarding the transfer to such country, or a reference to the appropriate or suitable safeguards.
