• Data minimization principle
  Collections of personal data must be: “adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed” (Article 5.1.c) of the GDPR).
  In accordance with this principle, any collection of personal data by LINAGORA is strictly necessary and proportionate to the purpose.
• Principle of limited retention
  . “Personal data must be kept in a form that permits identification of the data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed” (Article 5.1.e of the GDPR).
  In accordance with this principle, the data collected by LINAGORA are never kept indefinitely by default. Once the time necessary to achieve the purpose of the processing has passed, personal data will either be deleted, anonymized or archived (when required by law).
