Storage period of personal data

When BigData Republic B.V. enters into a business relationship this usually happens for a mid to long term relationship. As a company we believe in thes long term relationships and we believe these relationships are two-sided. Therefore we store personal data for 12 months and after these twelve months we will contact the owners of the data for a retention period of 12 months.
BigData Republic B.V. is meticulous about storing personal data and therefore we make sure your personal data is safe and secure, until there is a request to either erase this personal data, a data subject does not approve of the retention period of 12 months or when BigData Republic decides the personal data is no longer required to achieve the above mentioned goals.
