Privacy Policy
Introduction
We highly value data privacy, ensuring that any personal data we process, pertaining to identified or identifiable individuals, is handled with utmost care and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Privacy Notice Overview
This Privacy Notice outlines how we handle personal data collected from individuals using our websites, services, and events (collectively referred to as “Services”). Legally, we act as the data controller, determining the means and purposes of data processing.
Data Processing Roles
Legally, we are the data processor, while our customers are the data controllers. Our Personal Data Processing Notice details the measures we take to help our customers comply with relevant data protection laws.
Third-Party Privacy Practices
This Privacy Notice does not cover, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of third parties, even when our Services include links to their websites or when third-party cookies are used.
Personal Data Collection
We collect personal data from users of our Services, such as names, business functions, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. This data typically relates to an individual’s role at their company rather than their private life or as a consumer.
We may also gather technical data, including IP addresses, browser types, language preferences, geographic locations, operating systems, URLs, and usage data. Although we do not usually use this technical data to identify individuals, it can be considered personal data when combined with other user data.
Use of Cookies
We employ various technologies, including cookies, to collect and process technical data. Cookies help us understand the usage of our Services, improve functionality, remember user preferences, and deliver targeted advertising. Users can manage their cookie preferences through browser settings, though some Services may not function properly without cookies.
Data Processing Purposes
We process personal data for the following reasons:
– To operate, maintain, and develop our business
– To offer and provide our Services
– To conduct promotional campaigns and direct marketing
– To fulfill contracts with customers, suppliers, or partners
– For customer service and contract management
– To enhance and analyse our Services
– To perform market research and surveys
– To detect and prevent fraud
If personal data is provided to us by a third party (prospect, customer, supplier, or partner), we assume the third party has informed the individual of this Privacy Notice.
Storage Period
We retain personal data only as long as legally permitted and necessary for processing purposes. The duration depends on the type of data, its purpose, and applicable law. Generally, we keep personal data for as long as the user engages with our Services or as required by law.
