Agreement
Visa4India uses personal data to execute the service agreement for the purpose of applying for and providing travel documents and legalizations. Before this agreement is concluded, a customer is registered in the system, this is considered as the pre-contractual phase.
5. Existence of automated individual decision – making

6. Do we share your data with other parties?
Visa4India shares personal data with organizations involved in the implementation of the service agreement. These are in any case embassies, website administrator and hosting party. They process personal data on behalf of us in order to be able to provide the correct services to you.
Furthermore, in connection with the application and provision of travel documents and legalizations , Visa4India provides personal data to embassies of countries or organizations designated by countries.
In addition, Visa4India uses a number of suppliers of software programs, for example. The suppliers of these programs have access to the personal data and make backups for us. These suppliers are our processors, and we have entered into a processing agreement to record agreements on, for example, the careful handling of your data.
Sometimes Visa4India is obliged to provide personal data to investigative authorities based on legal obligations. We only do this if this legal obligation exists, otherwise not.
Visa4India ensures that the data exchange with third parties falls within the legal framework. This means, among other things, that we make agreements with third parties to ensure that they take appropriate organizational and technical measures to ensure that customers’ privacy is guaranteed. However, such agreements cannot be made with the countries, embassies and third parties engaged by them for the application and processing of, among other things, the visa application. These countries, embassies and third parties engaged by them determine their own national laws and regulations and the entry and visa conditions to be set by these countries based on their own national rules.
7.Is your data being brought outside the EU?
For the delivery of the services that we offer in the field of travel documents and legalizations, it is necessary that we provide your personal data to the country of your travel destination. This means that due to the implementation of the service agreement for the application or provision of travel documents or legalizations it is necessary that we provide data to these countries. Depending on your travel destination, this can also be a country that is located outside the EU. These countries and authorities are independently competent for this on the basis of their own national laws and regulations.
With other parties that process personal data on behalf of Visa4India , we ensure that these organizations within the EU process the personal data.
8. How do we protect your data?
Because the protection of personal data is very important, Visa4India therefore has a strict policy. As has been made clear under point 7 of this statement, we must provide personal data to the country of destination, which may also be located outside the EU. The countries, embassies and third parties engaged by them are responsible for securing the personal data they receive. Furthermore, Visa4India only uses parties that process personal data within the EU on our instructions. With those parties, Visa4India ensures that these parties engaged by us process the personal data in accordance with our strict policy.
In addition, we use various technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be misused or otherwise end up in the hands of the wrong person. Examples of these measures are the use of encryption and the training of our employees in the field of privacy. We ensure that if we send your personal data to other organizations such as the processors, these organizations therefore follow the same standards.
9. How long do we keep your data?
Visa4India ensures that your personal data is not stored any longer than necessary unless we are required by law or regulation to retain this personal data for longer.
Name and contact details

Payment data
We save this data for as long as the service agreement is in effect, and for another 7 years thereafter. In the case of a paid service, we also store any data stored for 7 years after the last transaction. That is the legally required retention period.
