3. To whom might we disclose your personal data?
To achieve the purposes listed in section 2, the data is transferred to external service providers such as network or web hosting providers acting as data processors and on instruction from Grant Thornton Luxembourg. In this case, a contract is drawn up between Grant Thornton Luxembourg and the data processor in question and appropriate technical and organisational measures are put in place in accordance with Articles 28 and 32 of the GDPR.
As a general rule, no personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA. However, when your personal data is transferred (including in the case of remote access) to a country outside the EU/EEA that is not subject to an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR are put in place, such as standard contractual clauses adopted and approved by the European Commission.

We may also keep and process your personal data after your account is deactivated, i.e., after the termination of our contractual, commercial or employment relationship for specific purposes such as the compliance with other legal obligations (as a rule, data must be kept for a period of 10 years for commercial matters) or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
5. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk so that the processing complies with the GDPR.
These measures must provide for a level of security considered appropriate considering the technical standards and the type of personal data processed but also:
- The state of the art and implementation costs;
- The nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing; and
- The likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Security requirements are continually evolving, and effective security requires frequent assessment and regular improvement of outdated security measures. We are committed to continuously evaluate, strengthen, and improve the measures we implement.

- The right of access: You can request access to the data concerning you at any time as well as a copy of the data;

- The right to erasure: You can request that your data be deleted when, for example, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed;
- The right to restrict processing: You can request that Grant Thornton Luxembourg restrict the processing of data if, for example, you question the accuracy of the data concerning you or if you object to the processing of data concerning you;
- The right to data portability: You have the right to have your data transferred to another data controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, if the processing is carried out by automated means or if it is based on prior consent;
- The right to object to processing: You can object to the processing of your data and can withdraw your consent if the processing is based on consent, for example if the data is used for commercial prospecting purposes.
You can exercise your rights by contacting the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at dpo@lu.gt.com
Requests will be dealt with by the DPO and will be responded to within 1 month at the latest, starting from the moment of your identity confirmation. We may extend the time limit by a further 2 months if the request is complex or if we have received a high number of requests.
We may request additional information to help us confirm your identity and to ensure that you respect your right to access the personal data (or to exercise any other of your rights). This is a security measure to ensure the non-disclosure of your personal information to an unauthorised person.
You will in general not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your individual rights mentioned in this Privacy Notice. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request to exercise your individual rights is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
