​

Where consent has been obtained, Solvex Global will provide a process to allow individuals to withdraw their consent in accordance with applicable law, at any time and without charge.

​

Proportionality: Solvex Global will limit the processing of Personal Information to that which is adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which Solvex Global collects and uses it. Further, Solvex Global will make reasonable efforts to limit Personal Information to the minimum necessary for these purposes.

​

Information Quality: Solvex Global will take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate and kept up to date, to keep Personal Information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it is collected and used, and to delete or to render it anonymous after such retention requirements have been met.

​

Transparency: Where required by applicable law, Solvex Global will make available to individuals at the point of collection, or within a reasonable period of collection, information about Solvex Global’s identity; the purposes and nature of processing their Personal Information; intended recipients and cross-border data transfers; source(s) of Personal Information; how individuals may exercise their rights regarding Personal Information; and additional explanations as needed to ensure fair processing. Where Solvex Global collects Personal Information through the Internet or other electronic means, Solvex Global will post an easily accessible privacy notice with these elements.

​

Confidentiality: Solvex Global will maintain the confidentiality of Personal Information it processes, except where disclosure is required by an applicable operational or legal requirement. This obligation will continue even after the relationship with the individual has ended.
