All data processing will be based on adequate legal grounds, which may include a range of categories, including:

  • Essential and necessary for the legitimate interests of the Data Controller.

Legitimate interests

The Data Controller may process personal data for certain lawful business purposes, including but not limited to:

  • Where processing enables us to improve, modify, personalize, or otherwise enhance our services/communications for the benefit of our customers and partners;
  • Identifying and preventing fraud;
  • Improving the security of our website and information systems;
  • Better understanding user interactions on our websites;
  • For direct marketing purposes;
  • To provide you with communications by mail that we believe may be of interest to you; and
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and advertisements.

Whenever we process data for these purposes, we ensure that your rights are maintained at a high level and take these rights into account. You have the right to object to such processing, and if you wish to do so, please contact the person listed below. Please note that if you exercise your right to object, it may affect our ability to perform and provide services for your benefit.

How we process and store personal data

We process personal data collected, also through automated means, for the purposes outlined above and for a specified period, in accordance with our internal retention policy, to ensure that personal data is not kept longer than necessary.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical protective measures designed to protect personal data you provide from accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. To ensure adequate security and confidentiality of personal data, we have implemented the following security measures:

  • Strong authentication control,
  • Enhanced network infrastructure, and
  • Network monitoring solutions.

How long we retain the data we collect

We retain personal data we collect in our systems in a way that allows identification of data subjects for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which the data is further processed. The retention period is determined by considering the necessity of retaining the stored personal data in order to provide the services established with the user and to protect the legitimate interests of the Data Controller as described in the purpose and the existence of specific legal obligations requiring processing and related retention for a specified period.

Information we share

We do not disclose the personal data we collect about you, except as described in this Privacy Policy or in specific notices provided regarding particular activities. We may forward personal data to service providers who perform services on our behalf based on our instructions. We do not authorize them to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or in accordance with legal requirements.

We may also disclose personal data about you (1) if required by law or legal process; (2) to law enforcement or other government officials based on a lawful request for disclosure; and (3) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity. We also reserve the right to transfer personal data we hold about you in the event we sell or transfer all or part of our business or assets (including in the case of reorganization, closure, or liquidation).

Data transfers

We may also transfer personal data we collect about you to countries outside the country where the information was originally collected. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country where you initially provided your personal data. When we transfer your data to other countries, we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Policy, and such transfers will comply with applicable law. Countries to which we may transfer personal data about you can be within and outside the European Union.

When transferring personal data from the European Union to countries or international organizations outside the European Union, the transfer is based on adequacy decisions by the European Commission, or in the absence of an adequacy decision, another legally permitted basis (a) a legally binding and enforceable instrument between public authorities or bodies; (b) binding corporate rules; (c) standard contractual clauses (formerly known as Model Clauses) adopted by the Commission, etc.
