9. Retention of Personal Data
Advantari retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or further processed, or for a longer period where retention is required or permitted by applicable law.

- applicable legal or regulatory requirements;
- contractual requirements;
- the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; and
- applicable data-protection requirements.
Website Inquiries and Business Information
Information relating to inquiries and potential business opportunities may be retained while the inquiry or opportunity remains active and thereafter only for so long as reasonably necessary for legitimate business, legal, compliance or record-keeping purposes permitted under applicable law.
Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, destroyed, anonymized or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.
Recruitment and CVs
CVs and recruitment information will be retained for the duration necessary to assess the relevant application.
Where a candidate agrees that Advantari may retain his or her CV for consideration for future vacancies, the information may be retained for that purpose for so long as it remains reasonably relevant to our recruitment activities and permitted under applicable law.
Such information will be periodically reviewed and will not be retained longer than necessary for the stated recruitment purpose.
A candidate may withdraw consent to future retention by contacting:
dpg@advantari.com
Where no other lawful requirement requires continued retention, the relevant information will then be deleted or otherwise disposed of securely.

10. Security of Personal Data
Advantari implements reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against:
- accidental or unauthorized destruction;
- accidental loss;
- unauthorized access;
- unauthorized alteration;
- unlawful disclosure;

- other unauthorized or unlawful forms of processing.
Our security arrangements are designed having regard to the nature of the personal data, the nature and risks of processing, available technology and applicable requirements under the Bahrain PDPL.
No website, network or electronic transmission can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore take appropriate precautions when submitting information electronically.

Advantari maintains procedures for identifying, assessing, documenting and responding to personal data breaches.
Where a personal data breach is subject to notification requirements under applicable Bahrain data-protection requirements, Advantari will notify the competent authority within the applicable statutory period and will notify affected Data Subjects where required.
We also maintain appropriate channels and procedures for investigating data-protection incidents and taking measures intended to mitigate their effects and prevent recurrence.
