Hillogy shall remain liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless Hillogy proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

8. How long do we retain your information?

In summary: We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy notice, unless otherwise required by law.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless the law requires or allows for a longer retention period (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

9. How do we keep your information secure?

In summary: Our goal is to protect your personal information through a system of technical and organizational security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our security measures and efforts to protect your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to circumvent our security and access, steal, modify, or otherwise misuse your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk. You should only access the website within a secure environment.

These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

11. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to indicate your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technological standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
