You also have the right to lodge a complaint at any time with the National Commission for Data Protection (“CNPD”), the Luxembourg supervisory authority for data protection issues, or, as the case may be, any other competent supervisory authority of an EU member state.
5 Security of your Personal Data
We are committed to taking appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as we need it in order to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. The retention period of your Personal Data shall not exceed 7 years provided we are not required by law to retain the data for a longer period of time.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer considered as Personal Data. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period we will securely destroy your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

In addition, we may disclose Personal Data to other third parties when this is necessary to provide our services to you. Such third parties may be lawyers and travel services providers & operators.
Your personal data may be shared on a case by case basis to entities outside of the EEA in order to fulfill your compensation claim request. Where this is required, your personal data will be processed in line with the applicable data protection law.
