4. Where and how is your personal data stored?

EMS has taken the necessary technical and organisational security measures to prevent accidental or illegal destruction, loss or degradation of data, and to prevent data from being disclosed to third parties, misused or otherwise processed in a manner that contravenes the Privacy and Cookie Policy. These measures may include, inter alia, use of firewalls, virus and malware protection, access management systems (both physical and technical), personnel and service provider training and vetting, and contractual arrangements.

All information received by EMS is stored on a secure server. Your personal data is therefore saved on servers with limited access located in controlled facilities, and which are regularly checked to determine whether our personal data is managed in a proper manner.

Only such persons from EMS, that need to access your personal data, are granted access to any personal data. EMS trains and instructs all personnel, who are granted access to any personal data, on the appropriate, lawful and secure processing of data.

We do not store or process your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes such data was collected. Typically we process personal data collected via our Website between 12 to 24 months. Newsletter subscription information is stored as long as your subscription is still valid. Where our processing is based on performance of a contract or your customer relationship, we process your personal data as long as we deliver services or products based on such contract or as long as you still have a customer relationship with us. In addition, we are obligated to maintain certain personal data for a number of years due to binding legal obligations (e.g. for taxation or accounting purposes). You can find more information on how long cookie data is retained below.

5. How is your personal data shared or disclosed?

Your personal data is never shared with or sold to a third party without your express consent. However, we may share, disclose or allow access to your personal data with our service providers and subcontractors, who e.g. participate in the performance of our services or maintain our Website. All such disclosures or access grants are always done on need-to-know basis, and we ensure that such third parties are bound by appropriate security obligations and may not process your personal data for any other purposes than what has been stated herein.

In addition, EMS may disclose your personal data to associated companies (such as our group companies) in accordance with legislation and this Privacy and Cookie Policy. In certain situations, your personal data may be disclosed to competent authorities due to requirements of applicable laws.
While EMS mostly processes your personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA), we do use some service providers and third parties in connection with the Website and our services (such as MailChimp and Google), who operate from countries outside the EEA and may therefore access your personal data from such countries. These non-EEA countries may include countries (such as the USA), where the level of data protection has not been deemed adequate by the European Commission. Where we transfer or allow access to your personal data from such non-EEA countries, we always ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data by taking appropriate legal security measures either by entering into the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with the service provider, or though the EU-US Privacy Shield arrangement. The SCCs can be found here and information on the EU-US Privacy Shield can be found here.
