Consent: your personal data may be processed upon your free, specific, informed and explicit expression of will, whereby you agree, by means of a statement or an unequivocal positive act, to have your personal data processed.

Compliance with legal obligation: your data may be necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller, in this case Phunk, is subject. For example, to comply with tax obligations we have to provide information to the Tax Administration.

Legitimate interest: your data may be necessary for the performance of certain tasks related to the business activity of Phunk, except in cases where your privacy and data protection rights should prevail. Examples: we process personal data on the basis of legitimate interest, in particular for business follow-up and management; in the context of customer contact via website and social networks; when we need to contact the representative of a legal entity, in the context of the execution of a contract.

3.1 How long do we keep your personal data?

Phunk keeps the personal data of the data subjects only for the period of time strictly necessary to pursue the purpose for which they were collected.

In certain cases, the law obliges data to be kept for a specific period, namely in the case of data necessary for information to the Tax Authority, which shall be kept for 10 years, according to the legislation in force.

We will also keep your data during the period in which you maintain a contractual relationship with Phunk. However, we may keep your personal data for periods longer than the duration of the contract, based on your consent, to ensure rights and duties related to the contract or in situations in which there is a legitimate interest of Phunk, always respecting the period necessary for the pursuit of the purpose for which they were collected.

If there is no specific legal obligation, your data will only be processed for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes which motivated their collection, and while there are legitimate grounds allowing Phunk to keep them.

As a rule, your personal data, when processed for marketing campaigns, will be kept until the maximum period of 5 years counted from the collection of your consent or from the last contact made (whichever occurs last) and if, within this period, you have not withdrawn your consent.

Once the maximum retention period is reached, personal data will be irreversibly anonymized (anonymized data may be retained) or will be securely destroyed.

Phunk only transmits your personal data when necessary for the purposes described above.

Only the data necessary for the development of the activity pursued by these entities within the scope of the purposes identified in this privacy policy shall be transmitted.
