4. HOW INFORMATION IS STORED AND COMMUNICATED
REMA Dentists retains personal information for a reasonable period, either to provide you with proper access to the website, to fully respond to your requests, to fulfill the stated purposes, or as required by law, whichever is the longest. After this period, we anonymize or destroy the information in a way that protects it from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Only relevant staff members may access the data when necessary for the performance of their service-related duties and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy, subject to the following paragraph.
We never disclose your personal information to anyone outside of REMA Dentists without your consent, except for the following third parties and only if they have implemented appropriate security safeguards to ensure at least the same level of security as ours:
- our suppliers whose services have been retained to perform certain functions on our behalf (e.g., data processing and storage, sending communications, service quality analysis, appointment system management, etc.). In this case, we take the necessary measures to ensure that these third parties only have access to the information necessary to perform the agreed services, that they process your information only for the purposes we have determined, and that they have in place personal information protection measures that comply with applicable laws and allow for the same conditions and level of protection as set out in this privacy policy;
- any entity resulting in a merger, corporate reorganization or change of control of REMA Dentists, in whole or in part, only if the parties have signed an agreement stipulating that the collection, use and disclosure of information is limited to the purposes of the business transaction;
- any public authority if required by law, or to defend our rights, or otherwise as permitted by law.
