2. Data storage, retention and deletion
1. We retain Personal Data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).  
2. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
3. Data storage and transfers of data
1. All your personal data is stored on our servers in the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we use third party service providers and business partners who may be operating from outside the EEA and therefore, your data may be transferred to, or accessed from those countries.  
2. We have put in place appropriate safeguards (which includes the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure that whenever your Personal Data is transferred outside the EEA to countries that are not deemed adequate by the European Commission, your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.

Again, you can exercise these rights by contacting us using the following contact details: privacy@opensheets.org. 
3. If we have collected and process your Personal Data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time.
