11.3. For the purposes of Clause 17 of the SCCs, the governing law of the SCCs shall be the law of Ireland.

Deletion or Return of Personal Data

Upon termination or expiry of this engagement, Lyceum shall delete all Customer Content, including Personal Data within 7 (seven) days of effective termination of the Customer’s account. Within such retention period, the Customer may request export of the Customer Content by writing to Lyceum.
