How do we store data?
After collection, we keep your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. For example, to enable you to access our site or application and use our services.
In certain specific situations, we may retain data for a longer period of time to comply with applicable laws, including those relating to record retention. This longer retention will allow us, for example, to resolve disputes with the parties where necessary.
Your Access to Information
All the data we store is subject to our Privacy Policy and internal retention guidelines. In this way, we respect the full control you may have over your personal data. On request we will endeavour to confirm your identity and tell you whether we hold or process information collected about you.
As required by law, you also have the right to amend or update inaccurate or incomplete data, to request that it be deleted and that we no longer use it.
However, please be aware that in certain circumstances we will unfortunately not be able to comply with your request. For example if it interferes with our regulatory obligations, affects legal matters, if your identity cannot be verified or if such verification involves disproportionate cost or effort.
In all cases, we will still undertake to respond to you within a reasonable period of time and to provide you with a full explanation. To send us such a request, you can contact us on this page.
How do we protect your personal data?
For Wincomparator, data protection is of great importance. Therefore, technical, administrative and physical protections are put in place to protect all information collected against loss, alteration, disclosure, accidental and unauthorized use, or destruction.
However, it is obviously impossible to completely guarantee the protection of data collected online. You must accept that there is a certain risk being undertaken when connecting to our site or that belonging to one of our partners. If you have a question about this, you can contact us once again to discuss it and we will reply as soon as possible.
