Therefore, and whenever there is no specific legal requirement, the data will only be stored for the minimum period necessary for the purposes that motivated their collection or subsequent processing, or for the period of time authorised by the National Data Protection Commission, after which Vitropor will endeavour to delete the respective personal data from all the databases in which they appear.
