Processing purposes
The processing of your data is based on the following grounds:
| Purpose of processing | GDPR Legal Basis |
| LNDS processes your data: – to manage certain features of the website allowing you, e.g., to play videos, access and share contents or fill-in forms available on the website | The processing is necessary: – generally, for purposes of legitimate interests pursued by LNDS (that is, usual website and contact management) – in certain cases, to provide the services or website features you have requested or decide to use, and perform a contract we have with you (or pre-contractual measures taken at your request) |

- your IP address and related traffic data,
- documents, information and data you may access or share through the website.
Data recipients
LNDS may share your data with service providers (notably, website features providers and vendors) as necessary to achieve the above purposes.
Data transfers outside the EU/EEA
Where LNDS transfers your personal data outside of the EU/EEA or to countries which do not have a similar level of protection of personal data as the EU, such transfers will:
- be limited to what is necessary to perform a contract we have with you, or
- be justified by the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
- be confined to safe addressees, such as recipients or processors that are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or similar EU-approved certification schemes, or
- if necessary, be covered by appropriate safeguards, such as entering into EC approved standard contractual clauses, or
- in exceptional cases, take place with your consent; in which case we will ask for your consent separately.
