Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for data processing is the user’s explicit and informed consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the legality of previous processing. In cases where data is required for a specific service, this will be clearly indicated.

Purpose of Processing

Data is collected to:

  • Fulfil orders, customer service, and communication.

  • Customise marketing content, where applicable and lawful.

Users will be informed at the point of data collection about the specific purpose for which their data is being processed.

Data Retention Period

Personal data will only be stored for as long as necessary. As a general rule, this is 4 years, or until the user requests deletion. Users will be informed of the retention period or the criteria used to determine it.

Data Sharing

User data will not be shared with third parties. If it becomes necessary to share data, users will be notified in advance, including the category of recipients.

Data of Minors

Data Security and Confidentiality

Modernexus implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure personal data. This includes SSL encryption to protect data in transit.

Despite best efforts, online security cannot be guaranteed. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a high risk to user rights, the Data Controller will notify affected individuals without undue delay, in accordance with GDPR requirements.

All employees or partners with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
