Our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Data described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific purposes for which we collect it.

Data Retention
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in Section 3 of this Privacy Policy and to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve potential disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Service Providers and Data Transfers
We may employ third-party companies ("Service Providers") to facilitate our website's operation, help us analyze how our Website is used, or perform Website-related services, such as IT infrastructure services. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only and insofar as necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf. They are required to safeguard it in accordance with our contractual obligations and applicable data protection legislation.
Such safeguards may include transfer to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection, applying standard data protection model clauses, binding corporate rules, or other standard contractual obligations that provide for appropriate protection of data.
In particular, to store and manage the Personal Data of our clients, potential clients, and any other interested parties, we use the Salesforce CRM (https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy/). The Personal Data stored on and handled with Salesforce CRM includes email addresses and names and may include, if provided, phone numbers and addresses. Salesforce does not own, control or direct the use of any of the Personal Data stored or processed by us. Only thirty3 employees with specific access rights are entitled to access, retrieve, and direct the use of such Personal Data.
We may also use recruiting websites such as LinkedIn and JobCloud to connect with job candidates. If you apply for a job using a third-party website, please observe that website's privacy policy prior to submitting your data.
Data Disclosure
We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary:

To protect the security of the Website and defend our rights or property;
To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with our company;
To protect ourselves against legal liability.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational security measures that we deem appropriate in order to protect your data against manipulation, loss, or unauthorized third-party access. Our security measures are continually adapted to technological developments.
We also take internal data privacy very seriously. Our employees and the Service Providers that we retain must maintain secrecy and comply with applicable data protection legislation. They are also granted access to Personal Data only insofar as this is necessary for them to carry out their respective tasks or mandate.
The security of your Personal Data is important to us but remember that no transmission method over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We recommend using antivirus software, a firewall, and other similar software to protect your system.
Data Protection Rights
You have the below data protection rights on the basis of applicable data protection laws. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity (e.g., with a copy of an ID card, if your identity cannot otherwise be clearly identified) before responding to such requests.
Right of access: You have a right to request a copy of your Personal Data, which we will provide to you in an electronic form.
Right to amendment: You have the right to ask us to correct our records if you believe they contain incorrect or incomplete information about you.

This includes cases where you wish to opt-out of marketing communications. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there is another legal basis for processing. Please click on the 'unsubscribe' link in the email you received to stop receiving emails from us.
Right to erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or when it was unlawfully processed.
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request the restriction of our processing of your Personal Data where you believe it to be inaccurate, our processing is unlawful, or where we no longer need to process it for the initial purpose but where we are not able to delete it due to a legal obligation or because you do not want us to delete it.
Right to portability: You have the right to request that we transmit your Personal Data to another data controller in a common format such as Excel, where this is data which you have provided to us and where we are processing it on the legal basis of your consent or in order to perform our contractual obligations.
Right to object to processing: Where the legal basis for our processing of your Personal Data is our legitimate interest, you have the right to object to such processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will abide by your request unless we have a compelling legal basis for the processing, which overrides your interests or needs to continue to process the Personal Data for the exercise or defense of a legal claim.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: You have the right of appeal to a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your Personal Data violates data protection law.
