Cocopipe Data Retention Policy

Last Updated: 10/11/2025

This Data Retention Policy explains how Cocopipe OÜ (“Cocopipe”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) stores, retains, and deletes personal data collected through the Cocopipe App and https://cocopipe.com in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related data protection laws.

This Policy forms part of the Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and the Privacy Policy.

1. Purpose and Scope

This Policy defines:

  • How long Cocopipe retains customer, user, and visitor data,
  • The principles guiding secure storage, archival, and deletion, and
  • How users can request deletion or export of their data.

It applies to both:

  • Cocopipe App Users (registered customers and team members), and
  • Website Visitors (non-registered users interacting with cocopipe.com).

2. General Retention Principles

Cocopipe retains personal data only for as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill contractual or legal obligations,
  • Provide the Services,
  • Maintain security and audit trails, or
  • Comply with statutory retention periods (e.g., financial or tax laws).

After these purposes are met, data is securely deleted or anonymized. Anonymized data may be used for analytics and service improvement.

5. Deletion and Anonymization

When retention periods expire or a deletion request is received:

  • Data is securely erased from active databases.
  • Related backups are overwritten after the next rotation cycle (within 90 days).
  • Certain financial or security records may be retained as required by law.

Cocopipe uses irreversible anonymization for data kept for statistical or performance analysis.

Cocopipe may retain certain data for longer periods if:

  • Required by law (e.g., tax, financial regulations),
  • Necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or
  • Needed for ongoing investigations or dispute resolution.

All such data will remain protected and restricted to authorized personnel.

9. Security Measures

Cocopipe applies strict data protection controls including:

  • Encryption at rest and in transit,
  • Role-based access control (RBAC),
  • Logging and monitoring of deletion operations,
  • Regular audits of storage and retention processes.
