personal data is different:
- for the purposes of pre-contractual relationships, the retention period is 1 /one/ year
from the submission of the product/service request or information;
- when entering into a contract or placing an order, the basis for the processing of
personal data is contractual and the retention period is 6 /six/ years after the date of

of the legal basis for data processing;
- in case of legitimate interest on behalf of Wine and Ventures Ltd., the retention period
is until the lapse and/or dropping out of interest;

For all other purposes we will retain the personal data we hold for as long as we consider it
necessary for working with you, selling and marketing our services and products, or to
comply with any legal obligations, and then we will securely delete your data. We will delete
your data at an earlier date if you request it and if there is no other ground for retention.
When we finish processing your personal information for the respective purpose, we will
erase and destroy it to ensure your privacy.

authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in our reasonable
opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of
that personal information.

parties.
