How we handle Personal Data?

We respect the privacy of our customers, employees, and all other individuals whose personal data we process, such as website visitors. Therefore, we strive to handle personal data carefully in accordance with applicable privacy rules, especially the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR). By personal data, we mean personal data as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR. When we process personal data, it means, for example, that we:

  • Clearly state the purposes for which we process personal data;
  • Process your personal data solely based on the grounds mentioned in Art.6 of the GDPR, namely: Legal obligation, obtained consent from you, legitimate interest;
  • Limit the collection of personal data to only the data necessary for the purposes for which they are processed;
  • Do not disclose your data to third parties unless necessary to provide the requested service or when we are legally obligated to do so;
  • When we do share your data, make agreements with third parties to ensure they are not used for other purposes;
  • Implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and require the same from parties processing personal data on our behalf;

Actively practice data minimization and promptly delete data of applicants and prospects, for example, from our systems.

We process the following data

  • Contact information (name, address, email address, and phone number);
  • Data collected by Google Analytics about your browsing behavior, internet browser, device type, etc. (more information is provided in our Cookie Policy);
