Nissan
has
implemented
appropriate
technical
and
organizational
measures
in
order
to
maintain
a
level
of
security
well
adapted
to
the
level
of
risk
related
to
the
processing
of
your
personal
data.
These
measures
aim,
in
particular,
to
protect
your
personal
data
against
destruction,
loss,
alteration,
unauthorized
disclosure
or
access,
both
accidental
and
intentional.
However,
no
method
of
transmission
of
data
on
the
internet
and
no
method
of
storage
(in
either
an
electronic
or
a
physical
environment)
can
be
entirely
secure.
We
endeavor
to
protect
your
personal
data
to
the
best
of
our
abilities,
but
we
cannot
guarantee
an
absolute
security
or
integrity
during
the
transmission
of
your
data
from
your
system
to
ours.
Any
transmission
is
at
your
own
risk.
6. Are There Any International Transfers of Your Personal Data?
Where the personal data is originated within a country requiring an adequate level of protection for personal data when disclosing or transferring personal data outside the originating country, Nissan ensures that appropriate legal or contractual safeguards are in place for such disclosures or transfers as required by the applicable law.
In particular:
- where the APPI of Japan applies and we transfer your personal data outside of Japan, we will take all necessary measures through contracts based on the APPI and any applicable guidelines;
- where the GDPR applies and we transfer your personal data outside the European Union/European Economic Area/United Kingdom, we will, in the absence of an adequacy decision and after having carried out an assessment of the level of protection of your rights on the territory of the concerned third country where we deem this necessary, implement adequate measures through the adoption of appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
7. How Long Do We Store Your Personal Data?

retain
your
personal
data
for
as
long
as
it
is
necessary
for
the
purposes
set
out
in
this
Privacy
Notice,
unless
required
by
our
legal
obligations
to
retain
it
for
longer.
In
order
to
determine
the

period,

consider
factors
