For questions about retaining periods of particular categories of data please contact us at: [email protected]

We generally store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for performing the functional service of the Site and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use the information that we access and store, you can request that we erase your personal information. However, some data may still be stored for a certain period (but no longer than the storage purpose requires) or if information is necessary to comply with legal obligations or in order to maintain safety and data backup settings, prevent fraud or other malicious acts.

While retention requirements may vary by jurisdiction, information about our typical retention periods for different aspects of your personal information is described below:

Please note, not all these rights are absolute, and they do not apply in all circumstances.

7. Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

  • We need the data processed in connection with your interaction with our Site. The legal ground for such processing is our legitimate interest in offering you a better and easily accessible service.
  • It is also our legitimate interest to stay in touch with you when you reach us via our contact form. About the ability to process your data concerning any marketing materials we might send you wish so, you give your voluntary and informed consent to this at the designated places on the Site. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent at a certain point does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

8. Data Transfer

Generally, by using our Site your personal data is stored within EU and the EEA. Given the global nature of our company however, personal data may be transferred to Nemetschek Bulgaria partner companies and trusted third parties in countries outside the EU and the EEA, where legislation may not provide the same level of protection for your personal data. This is possible only via our career subdomain - careers.nemetschek.bg, as some of the personal data you share with us is shared with our partners in the US as part of the hiring process. If the candidate is in a hiring process with us for a project that we do for our US partners, sometimes they want to be included in the hiring process and we disclose information, such as name and details of candidates’ experience. When such a transfer is necessary, Nemetschek Bulgaria ensures that appropriate safeguards (adequacy decisions; standard contractual clauses etc.) are in place to comply with the requirements for the international transfer of personal data under applicable privacy legislation.

9. Amendments

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time. When we do revise this Policy, we will update the “Effective” date at the top of this page so that you can tell if it has changed since your last visit. The effective date of this Policy is the date in which this Policy was last updated.
