4. Storing Your Information

 

We store and process your personal data as long as necessary for the purpose of the processing. We process personal data necessary for the fulfillment of the contract for the duration of the business relationship and beyond, according to legal retention and documentation obligations, for a period of seven years. In individual cases, such as in ongoing authority or court proceedings, this storage period may also be longer than seven years. In the case of foreseeable legal disputes, your personal data may also be retained longer, at least until the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations for legal claims.

 

Our goal is to store your information only as long as needed to provide you with our services. Sometimes we need to retain your data longer than planned. Typically, your information is stored as follows:

•   Account creation data: stored indefinitely (i.e., as long as you have an active account) since it is necessary for providing and managing your account. If you delete your account, the information will be deleted.

•   Content data: stored indefinitely (i.e., as long as you have an active account) or until you delete the content.

•   Communication with tscene: stored for a maximum of 24 months.

•   Connection and technical data: stored for a maximum of 24 months. However, some connection data is also part of the account creation data and is stored accordingly.

•   Interaction data: stored indefinitely (i.e., as long as you have an active account) or until you delete the interactions.

•   Usage data: stored for a maximum of 24 months.

•   Device and equipment data: stored for a maximum of 24 months. However, some connection data is also part of the account creation data and is stored accordingly.

•   Cameras and photo library: Content data is stored indefinitely (i.e., as long as you have an active account) or until you delete the content. Remember, we don't upload all your photos. You decide which content is uploaded and shared. As mentioned, you can allow or deny access to your device's camera and photo library at any time, but if you refuse permission, you won't be able to share or view content on our services. This is an essential part of tscene's functionality.

7. Your Rights

 

As a data subject, you have the rights described below. Should we have reasonable doubts about the identity of the person exercising one of the data subject's rights, we may request additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the person. For those rights that are exercised by making a request, we have one month to comply.

•   Right of access: You have the right to request information about the personal data we process about you at any time. The right of access also includes the right to receive a copy of the data, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. For creating such a data copy, we may charge you a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.

•   Right to rectification: You have the right to request the correction or completion of concerning inaccurate data.

•   Right to erasure: You generally have the right to request the deletion of data concerning you. However, this right to erasure does not exist if the processing is

-      necessary for the right to freedom of expression and information; or

-      to fulfill a legal obligation requiring processing under the law of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; or

-      for reasons of public interest in the area of public health; or

-      for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, to the extent that the erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of the processing; or

-      necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

•   Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request the restriction of processing if at least one of the following conditions applies:

-      you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; or

-      the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead; or

-      the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or

-      you have objected to processing pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your interests. If you have obtained restriction of processing, we may only process these personal data – apart from their storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

•   Right to data portability: You generally also have the right to receive the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller. However, the right to data portability only exists if the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.

•   Right to object: You have the right to object to processing based on a legitimate interest of ours or a third party. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your data unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests. An objection to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes is possible at any time and results in us no longer being allowed to process your data for this purpose.
