Storage and security

BrandFame uses technical measures to secure all Personal Data. Despite the thorough security measures and safeguards that BrandFame implements to protect Personal Data from theft, misuse or accidental destruction and to keep it confidential, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the internet, BrandFame cannot guarantee that Personal Data, during transmission through the internet or while stored on its systems or otherwise in its care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.

How long do we keep information?

Personal Data is not kept any longer than is required for the purposes of the processing or to comply with the law. The retention period depends on the type of data collected. After such time, BrandFame will make every effort to delete Users’ Personal Data or, if this is not possible (for example, because the Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then BrandFame will securely store the Personal Data and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible. Marketing and Promotional information: If Users have elected and provided consent to receive marketing and promotional emails from BrandFame, BrandFame retains information about Users' marketing preferences and contact details unless asked specifically to delete such Personal Data, provided that it does not exceed the default retention period as set out below.
