Privacy policy

Welcome to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy page.

Usually this is a long text, filled with grey legal clauses and technical jargon that nearly no one understands. Yet, here you are, curious about how we deal with such matters, and it’s our goal to make this as painstaking and informative as possible. After all, we want you to use our website and reassure you of all that’s happening, in a clear and straight-forward way. So, bare a few minutes with us, we promise to keep it as short as possible and as informative as we can. Let’s begin…

2) THE SCOPE OF THIS WEBSITE

The purpose of this website is to provide information about ourselves, our products, services and areas of interest to existing and future stakeholders of our company. The content of this site is provided for the purpose of providing information of a general nature and does not constitute the provision of services. We exclude alll liability for any damages that may occur related to the information contained on this site. This site is for informational purposes only and does not contain advertising content.

3) WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA

The Eurpoean Union formally defines Personal data as any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data. Personal data that has been de-identified, encrypted or pseudonymised but can be used to re-identify a person remains personal data and falls within the scope of the law. Personal data that has been rendered anonymous in such a way that the individual is not or no longer identifiable is no longer considered personal data. For data to be truly anonymised, the anonymisation must be irreversible. The European law protects personal data regardless of the technology used for processing that data – it’s technology neutral and applies to both automated and manual processing, provided the data is organised in accordance with pre-defined criteria (for example alphabetical order). It also doesn’t matter how the data is stored – in an IT system, through video surveillance, or on paper; in all cases, personal data is subject to the protection requirements set out in the GDPR. Examples of personal data

  • a name and surname;
  • a home address;
  • an email address such as [email protected];
  • an identification card number;location data (for example the location data function on a mobile phone); an Internet Protocol (IP) address;
  • a cookie ID;
  • the advertising identifier of your phone;
  • data held by a hospital or doctor, which could be a symbol that uniquely identifies a person.

Examples of data not considered personal data

  • a company registration number;
  • an email address such as [email protected];
  • anonymised data.

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and DoubleClick. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This feature makes it possible to link target audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer). Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. That way, any device that signs in to your Google Account can use the same personalized promotional messaging. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google Account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account data is based solely on your consent, which you may give or withdraw from Google per Art. 6 GDPR. For data collection operations not merged into your Google Account (for example, because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merge), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 GDPR.

Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page.
