To whom will your Personal data be disclosed?

Pluxee Bulgaria is part of an international group under the brand Pluxee. There is a possibility of transfers of your Personal data within ou outside of the Pluxee group.

•    Within Pluxee

The security and confidentiality of your Personal data is of great importance to us. This is why we restrict access to your Personal data only to members of our and staff only to the extent strictly necessary to process your Personal data or to provide the services necessary for the Site. We ensure that the persons authorized to process the Personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
European data protection law does not allow the transfer of Personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection. Some of the third countries in which Pluxee entities operate are located outside of the EEA and do not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which you reside, and are not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for individuals’ data privacy rights. For those transfers, Pluxee Bulgaria has implemented the appropriate safeguards in accordance with the relevant Data Protection laws and rules.

•    Outside of Pluxee

We will not disclose your Personal data to any unauthorized third parties. We may, however, share your Personal data with authorized service providers (for example, technical service providers [hosting, maintenance], consultants, etc.) whom we may call upon for the purpose listed above in compliance with the applicable data protection laws.

All third-party service providers to whom we have disclosed and transferred your Personal data have been engaged under a binding confidentiality and data processing agreement with Pluxee Bulgaria or the Pluxee group’s entities, whereby said third party may act only upon the instruction of Pluxee Bulgaria or Pluxee Group’s entities.

This third-party service provider and/or other contractors, as the case may be, may be located in countries (e.g, United States, United Kingdom), where data protection laws may not provide a level of protection equivalent to European law (it being specified the European Commission has recognized the United Kingdom as providing adequate protection). If Pluxee Bulgaria or Pluxee group’s entities disclose your Personal data to such recipients, which shall be only for disaster recovery purposes or for the purpose of providing assistance on our request, we will establish and/or confirm that, prior to receiving any of your Personal data, they will provide an adequate level of protection for your Personal data, including appropriate technical and organizational security measures. In particular, if the recipients concerned are located in a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection (as this is the case in the United States), Pluxee Bulgaria or Pluxee group’s entities will also implement other appropriate measures, including standard contractual clauses, to secure such transfer in compliance with applicable law. If you want to access a copy of the relevant documentation, please send an email to privacy.bg@pluxeegroup.com.

Furthermore, we may share your Personal data (i) if the law or a legal procedure requires us to do so, (ii) in response to a request by public authorities or other officials, or (iii) if we are of the opinion that transferring this data is necessary or appropriate to prevent any physical harm or financial loss, or in respect of an investigation concerning a suspected or proven unlawful activity.

How long will your Personal data be held?  

We will store your Personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, as listed above. This period may be extended, if applicable, for any amount of time prescribed by any legal or regulatory provisions that may apply.

The data related to your User’s profile will be keept as long as your account is active and 10 years afterwards, unless the applicable law requires storage for a longer period (for example for tax and regulatory control and inspections).

Cookies will only be kept for a maximum of 13 months in order to fulfill their purposes.

The data related to your use of the Site, will be kept for as long as necessary for the Processing.

Finally, please note that we may anonymize your Personal data in such a way that you can no longer be identified and continue to use it for statistical purposes. Data used for statistical purposes is no longer classified as Personal data once it has been duly anonymized.

This definition also includes Personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses.

In the event that it would be strictly necessary to collect such data to achieve the purpose for which the Processing is performed, we will do so in accordance with local legal requirements for the protection of Personal data and, in particular, with your explicit prior consent and under the conditions described in this policy.
