Legal Basis for Processing
We will process your personal information in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner. Our collection and processing of information rely on legal bases that vary depending on the services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only when:
It is necessary for the performance of a contract in which you are a party or for taking pre-contractual steps at your request (e.g., when you request a service from us).
It serves a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your data protection interests. This includes research and development, marketing and promoting our services, and protecting our legal rights and interests.
You provide your consent for a specific purpose (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter). You have the right to change your consent preferences at any time, but any processing that has already occurred will not be affected.
It is required to comply with a legal obligation.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary and protect it using commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. However, please note that no electronic transmission or storage method is entirely secure. In some cases, we may retain your personal information to fulfill legal obligations, protect vital interests, or comply with a legal obligation.

International Transfers of Personal Information

When transferring personal information from the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This may involve using standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission, binding corporate rules, or other legally accepted means.
If we transfer personal information from a non-EEA country to another jurisdiction, please note that the data protection laws in that jurisdiction may not be equivalent to those in our jurisdiction. Consequently, the actions of third parties in such jurisdictions may not align with the data privacy laws in our jurisdiction, potentially limiting your ability to seek redress under our jurisdiction’s privacy laws.
