    Personal information this website collects and why we collect it<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:<\/p>\n

    Pricing\/financial information services<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In case you purchase any of our services\/products, we will keep in our database the information that is necessary for their billing, as well as for communication between us, such as name, address, email, telephone, VAT number, etc. We will contact you in cases concerning payment of services\/products, billing balances, recurring charges, information about offers on our products, etc. via email, SMS or telephone. All data transmitted via email is protected by the TLS\/SSL security protocol. <\/p>\n

    Website traffic tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Like most websites, this one uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our pages, and to see their journey around the site. Although GA records data such as your geographic location, device, web browser, and operating system, none of this information identifies you personally to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not provide us with access to it. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor that is compliant with European law. <\/p>\n

    Contact forms and email links<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you choose to contact us using a contact form or a link in our email, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred to or processed by any third party data processor, as defined below in the section \u201cOur third party data processors\u201d. Instead, this data will be sent to us in an email message via the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) protocol. Our SMTP servers are protected by the TLS\/SSL security protocol, which means that the email content is encrypted before it is sent over the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices. <\/p>\n

    Electronic newsletter<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you choose to participate in our email newsletter, the email address you submit to us will be forwarded to Mailchimp, which provides us with our email marketing services. Mailchimp is a third party data processor (see the section \u201cOur third party data processors\u201d below). The email address you submit will not be stored in the database within the website or in any of our company\u2019s internal IT systems. Your email address will remain in Mailchimp\u2019s database for as long as we continue to use its services for our email marketing or until you explicitly request to be removed from the list. You can do this by using the unsubscribe link contained in all email newsletters we send you. As long as your email address remains in Mailchimp\u2019s database, you will periodically receive email updates from us about offers on our products or services. <\/p>\n

    Customer satisfaction survey \/ customer loyalty program<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The data we collect from the website, provided you have accepted the terms of use, may be used for your participation in a Customer Satisfaction Survey where your opinion is asked about the experience of using the website and our products\/services or in a customer loyalty program where you receive special discounts\/offers on our products and services, under specific conditions.<\/p>\n
