We can use this data to protect us from attacks, to fix bugs and issues, and to display the appropriate content to your browser. You may also experience issues with the Site and we can only fix them when we know what’s “under the hood” and what happened that caused the issue.

(G)      General

3.11     Some Services will not be available to you if you do not provide the requested Information.

Information contained within the enquiry, free from any personally identifiable information, will be stored on our servers for the purpose of improving our Services and providing the best customer support possible.

If you don’t tell us who you are we can’t enter into an agreement with you. Similarly some services can’t function if we do not have your information. On the other hand we will not ask for your information unless we absolutely need to have it. If you send us something we will only keep it if we can remove any trace of your personal information.

3.12     We do not sell or rent personal information to any third-party. We use collected information for our internal and marketing purposes, as necessary by the nature of the Services, and only in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We only use your information for us. We will not sell it, rent it, publicly display it or do anything else that will lead to your information getting into the wrong hands. However, we may share your information with our contractors and subcontractor but they may only use your information under our control and only for the purposes you allowed or knew about.

3.14     We have implemented security procedures and measures in order to ensure appropriate protection of the information we process, against any misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or modification.

3.15     We acknowledge that the safety of your information is one of the highest priorities and therefore only authorised processors have access to your information. Although we take all appropriate measures in respect to keeping your information secure, you understand that no data security measures in the world can offer 100% protection. If we ever find or suspect a personal data breach we will without delay after becoming aware of it, notify you if there is a high risk to your rights associated with the data breach.

We do our best to keep your data secure. Unfortunately, no security system is 100% secure so just in case we had prepared an “emergency plan” if we ever get breached. We will also notify the authorities as soon as possible about any suspected data breach. We will also aim to notify you if we have your contact information.

3.16     The processing of the information is being performed automatically, without human intervention. However, whenever you contact us through email, the information within the email will be handled and processed by a real person in order to provide you with the answer to the email.

We process your information automatically. A real person will process your data only when we need to communicate with you. We do this to minimize possible data leaks.

  1. Storage and transfer of Information
