The legal basis for processing your data is to perform the services you request, to take necessary steps prior to fulfilling your request and to comply with legal requirements.

Espoir Translations does not use your personal data for marketing purposes, nor does it disclose it to unauthorised third parties.

Who else may have access to your personal data?
Espoir Translations processes all data on password-protected computers and data is not accessible by third parties.

Espoir Translations does not share your personal data with third parties without your prior approval. It doesn’t not sell, lease or distribute your personal data to third parties unless it is required by law to do so.

When a text containing personal data is outsourced to another linguist for revision, the linguist selected will have been checked for GDPR-compliance.

For administrative purposes, other parties, including the providers of this website and email hosting services, may have access to your personal data.

Your personal data will be kept for 7 years, unless you request a delete or removal sooner. Should you ask Espoir Translations to delete documents before the 7-year period has expired, it cannot be held responsible for queries or claims relating to the content, as it has no way of verifying the accuracy of the original content.

Do you have the right to access your personal data?
You may contact Espoir Translations at any time to request a copy of your personal data, or to ask for a rectification or the removal of the information held. Action will be taken without undue delay, and in any event within one month of receipt of the request.
