We also collect information about your activities during your visit in order to personalize your website and applications experiences, such as recording your preferences and settings and to collect statistics to help us improve and further develop our websites, applications, and services. We use such types of personal data only for the functioning of the applications and services that are provided to you. LeverX collects information only to provide better Services to you, and for functioning applications in accordance with the expectations of users.
Where we reference that, we use your personal information in relation to marketing, improvement, or development of our applications or services, for reasons of safety and security, or regulatory requirements other than in connection with your agreement or request, we do this on the basis of our legitimate interests, or with your consent.

If your personal information is protected by EU data protection law, LeverX’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which LeverX collects it.

  If You make a request objecting to processing, we will no longer process the personal data unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing.
  Please note that when the processing of Your personal data is carried out for direct marketing purposes, You have the right to object at any time to such processing without providing any justification.

9. Retention

Unless stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy, the personal data that you provide us will only be stored for as long as it is necessary for us to fulfill our obligations.
LeverX retains personal data for as long as necessary to provide the services, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different products, actual retention periods can vary significantly. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include, for instance:

• The period of data processing needed to provide the services. This includes such things as maintaining and improving the performance of those services, keeping our systems secure, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records. This is the general rule that establishes the baseline for most data retention periods.
• The data subject's consent for a longer retention period. If so, we will retain data in accordance with the consent.
• LeverX is subject to a legal, contractual, or similar obligation to retain the data. Mandatory data retention laws can be applied in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation.
