CONNECTPLANS 360 also allows third-party advertising companies to use Automatic Data Collection Tools on our web sites and applications in order to understand how you interact with our web sites and applications, to optimise our advertisements and marketing and to serve advertisements specific to your interests on other web sites and applications you may visit or use.

Automatic Data Collection Tools may also be used when you share information using a social media sharing button on our website. The social network will record that you have done this and may use this information to send you targeted advertisements.

Access to your information is restricted to CONNECTPLANS 360 employees or authorised third parties who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict confidentiality obligations. When we transmit sensitive information over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), or Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

How long we keep personal data:

Typically, we keep personal data for the length of any contractual relationship and, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, to protect CONNECTPLANS 360 from legal claims and administer our business. When we no longer need to use personal data, we will delete it from our systems and records or take steps to anonymize the data unless we need to keep it longer to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

How to exercise your rights and additional information:

Our privacy practices are aligned with the requirements of Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable data protection laws of other countries in which we operate.
