By using the Site, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. Note that certain types of data collection described in this Policy are optional and may be used to enhance the Site’s functionality.

What information about the User is collected

We collect only limited information about our users since the scope of our services does not require us to collect extensive data. Personal information is only collected occasionally when potential clients submit their inquiries, which may contain personal details.

Personal data or information refers to any details that can be used to identify an individual. This includes business contact information like name, job title, organization, phone number, email address, and country, as well as marketing preferences submitted by users through our contact form.

We may also collect automatically generated data, which includes information on cookies and similar technologies. More information on how we manage cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy.

In addition, the Site utilizes Google Analytics to analyze user trends and browsing activities. Google has its own Privacy Policy, and all data collected through this service can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

The data collected through Google Analytics is primarily used for statistical purposes, allowing us to analyze traffic and improve the content of the site.

Automatically collected information includes:

  • Device-related  information such as IP address, browser, operating system, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, request information (such as speed, frequency, referring page, exit page, and web browser type and language), and viewfinder size and script errors. 
  • Usage data such as pages and files viewed, session duration, links clicked, searches, non-sensitive text entered, operating system and system configuration information, and date/time stamps associated with usage is also collected.
  • We may also obtain information from public databases and social media platforms.

The Company does not collect any information related to credit cards or payment services used by users. We also do not collect any special categories of personal information (such as political opinions, religion, health, etc.) or information from individuals under the age of 18. If a user believes that their child or minor has submitted personal information to the Company, they should inform us immediately so that the information can be deleted.

Information and Third Parties

We handle all personal information internally, including storage, processing, and evaluation. This information remains closed to third parties except where additional serviceability is required, such as subscribing to our newsletters or live chat. We will not disclose any personal information without the user’s consent. However, we may share non-personal data, such as depersonalized and aggregated user statistics, with third-party services like Google Analytics.

We have a presence on various social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users assume full responsibility for any information they share with us through social media platforms, and there should be no expectation of privacy. We have no control over the actions of other users or the social media platforms themselves. Users’ interactions with these features and platforms are subject to the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

We may consider disclosing personal information in response to a legally-supported request, which may include requests from jurisdictions outside the country where the Company is registered, especially when such requests impact the user. Additionally, we may disclose data to other entities, such as companies or individuals, to prevent fraud, technical or security issues, and to safeguard the rights, property, or security of the Company, other users, or the public, as required or allowed by law.

How the Company ensures the security of the data

The Company takes commercially reasonable measures to protect and secure User’s personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We have implemented numerous security measures to protect against potential breaches, including keeping separate databases, mirroring and backing up data, implementing personal card access to secure our offices, and heavily segmenting and centrally monitoring our office network. Furthermore, we provide regular security training to our employees to ensure that they are aware of best practices.

However, while we take all necessary precautions to ensure data security, it is impossible to guarantee the absolute safety of personal information during the transmission of data through the Internet. In the event of an issue that was not caused directly by the Company, no person or User shall claim a refund for material or non-material damage.
