Data retention

A Mingo license needs to be renewed annually to provide access to new versions. If a customer fails to renew, the customer still has a perpetual license to use their then current version of the software. Dr. Kapusta s.r.o., at its discretion, may allow customers with lapsed licenses to renew without back charges to get back to access the latest versions.

This means that license data, financial records, and related material are kept as long as the customer has a license of any kind of software. Dr. Kapusta s.r.o. will delete all data pertaining to the customer and its users and contact persons if and after a customer voluntarily cedes its perpetual license and deletes all copies of Mingo and confirm this in writing to Mingo.io.

Data not related to licenses, financial records, and support history will be purged no later than 24 months after collection. Data relating to your job application will be deleted after the recruitment process has been completed.

If at any time you wish to be removed from our database, simply send an email with the subject "remove" to [email protected] and we will promptly cancel records that are not needed for the fulfillment of our legal obligations as described below. If you represent a company, organization, or institution, please provide relevant contact information for a new contact person. Please note that we may not be able to provide you or the company, organization, or institution you represent the Mingo and related services in the event that you wish to have your personal data deleted. This includes the fallback perpetual license to keep using the software after the license period expires. Please see section 11. Termination in the EULA for details.

If considered necessary to comply with legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, personal data may be stored for a longer period. For example, personal data relating to your job application may be stored for two years after the alleged act was taken or should have been taken such as to defend ourselves against claims concerning violations of the Slovak Discrimination Act. Further, for bookkeeping purposes, personal data will be stored for seven years, counting from the end of the calendar year during which the financial year, to which the information pertained, was terminated, in accordance with the Slovak Accounting Act.
