Data Access
Personal information can be accessed by a restricted number of Tech Europe employees, by certain companies with which Tech Europe may conduct joint programs, and by third parties with whom Tech Europe contracts to carry out business activities. We train our employees about the importance of privacy and how to handle and manage customer data appropriately and securely.

Data Storage & Keeping Information Secure
Some companies that provide services to us run their services from outside the European Economic Area. We only let that happen if we are satisfied with their levels of security. Keep in mind that when you give us personal information it could be being transferred, stored or processed in a location outside the EEA.
Tech Europe will only store your personal information for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable data retention periods imposed upon Tech Europe by applicable law. By submitting your personal data, you agree to its transfer, storing and/or processing.
