Furthermore, we may send you communications in order to provide other information that we think may be of interest to you. Please see below the « Marketing Communications » section for more information on your options for such communications.
We may process personal data in order to fulfil legal obligations relevant to us.
To the extent permitted by applicable local law, we may provide your personal information to other entities – which can process your data as our processors or as autonomous controllers – as described in this section:

Legal Basis for the Processing
Novastep will only process (i.e. use) your personal data when the law allows us to, that is, when we have a legal basis for processing.
We use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Performance of a contract: where we need to perform a contract which we are about to enter into or have entered into with you as a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract;
- Legal or regulatory obligation: where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to;
- Legitimate interests: where necessary for our interests (or those of a third party), provided that your fundamental rights do not override such interests. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests; and
- Consent and explicit consent: where you have provided your consent to processing your personal data.
Novastep does not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
We only rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data where it is required by applicable local law (for instance, in relation to some of our electronic marketing). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. When you withdraw your consent, we will stop the data processing.
Data Retention Period
Novastep will keep your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary or required by law for the purpose of the processing.
Purpose Limitation and Data Integrity
Novastep will only process personal information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or authorized for by the individual. Novastep will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete, current, secure and reliable for its intended use.
