We handle complaints, appeals and reports, as required of an accredited certification body, on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We record certificate searches and technical data on the basis of our legitimate interest in the security of the website and of the register (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5. Retention

Messages and offer requests are kept for as long as necessary to handle them; offer requests that are not accepted are kept for 5 years. Complaints and appeals are kept for 7 years after they are closed. Technical logs, including the certificate search log, are kept for 3 years.

6. Recipients

The data are processed by CQA personnel and by the providers of hosting and email services, acting as processors. We do not sell or disclose data to third parties for marketing purposes.
