Common use of Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention Clause in Contracts

Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention. a) Transoft limits its use or disclosure of Personal Data to the purposes for which it was originally collected, unless it has first obtained the Consent of the person from whom such information was received, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Transoft retains personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which it was collected or used, or as otherwise required by law. The criteria used to determine the period of storage of Personal Data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract. b) From time to time Transoft may use a third party or a related entity to store or manage Personal Data on its behalf. In such circumstances, Transoft requires such service providers and related entities to protect, by contract or other means, the Personal Data transferred to them by Transoft. For Canada, such service providers or related entities may from time to time process or store Personal Data in countries other than Canada. In this event, such Personal Data would be subject to the laws of such countries, including those authorizing or requiring disclosure of information to government authorities.
