VASS processes personal data provided by users of its websites on the following legal bases, in function of the type of personal data provided by users and the interactions that a user may establish with VASS.
· The processing of users’ personal data for the purpose of Contact is based on the management and conduct of the legal relationship established between the user and VASS, in other word the management of the user’s request, maintaining contact between the parties and, where relevant, the provision of any service requested by the user.

Please note that VASS will only undertake the processing of personal data for the purposes of processing based on user consent where a user has consented to such processing through one of the mechanisms for the obtaining consent made available by VASS.
The processing of users’ personal data for the purpose set out under Training is based on the management and maintenance of the legal relationship established between the data subject and VASS and to comply with legal obligations to which VASS is subject.
8. PERIOD OF RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA
The period of retention of users’ personal data will vary in function of the service/processing that users may contract. Personal data will in any event be retained during the subsistence of the commercial/contractual relationship. When that relationship comes to an end, we will retain users’ personal data blocked for so long as legal obligations that may have arisen from processing may exist and/or during the periods prescribed by law so as to keep such personal data available for any competent authority to deal with any liabilities that may have arisen from the processing.
For illustration and without limitation, some retention periods are described below.
· When there is a contract between VASS and a user, VASS will retain the personal data provided for the time necessary to operate the contractual relationship and, in any event, for limitation periods under current legislation. Personal data will as a general principle subsequently be destroyed, except when it is necessary to retain personal data to comply with a statutory obligation or a competent court or administrative order.

The personal data of an unsuccessful candidate will be retained for a maximum period of (2) years from the end of the recruitment process or from the time at which a user voluntarily provides their CV.
· To the extent consistent with law, we will process your contact information for the time required to handle and respond to users’ queries submitted through the Contact section of the Website and in the case of the sending of information about our products and services, for so long as the user does not object to such sending.

We will also enter into a contract under which such providers will be obligated to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures and process personal data solely in accordance with the documented instructions of the joint data controllers. If a data processor is located outside the European Economic Area, the joint data controllers will enter into an agreement with them containing the Standard Contract Clauses to provide adequate safeguards and that will at all times protect the access that such third parties could have to your personal data.
