In the context of presenting our services, we collect certain personal data that pertains to you in order to facilitate our relationship with you and to provide you with the best possible information. Through this Privacy Statement, we aim to explain our practices and policies regarding the collection, use, and sharing of data and cookies that are collected by or for you.

Your data is collected when you communicate with us via our contact form, through signing up for the newsletter, by phone, or via email, or by any other means that you may use to send us your data.

The table below lists the data we collect from you, the purpose for which we use it, and why it is necessary in each case.

It is our policy to retain your data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, in accordance with the principles of data minimization and storage limitation. For all the above reasons, your data will be retained for at least five (5) years after the termination of our customer relationship. Additionally, we align the retention of your data with any potential variances arising from the exercise of your personal data protection rights.

We will not assign, disclose, or rent your personal information to any third party/entity in a manner other than that described in this Privacy Statement. Our company transmits personal data to third parties to whom it assigns the processing of personal data on its behalf.

The data is transferred only to partner companies that collaborate with us and provide services for the purpose of sending promotional materials and personalized offers. Additionally, this data is transmitted to businesses working with us for the purpose of evaluating the quality of service delivery and assessing our products and services. Access to the data is also granted to independent service providers who have developed our website, as well as to those who provide us with technical support or hosting services for the operation of the website.

We strive to ensure that all these third-party/independent service providers do not use your personal data for any purpose other than to provide the services for which they are contractually obligated. Additionally, we create contracts with these independent contractors that require them to comply with the data protection standards mandated by law and to use the data solely for the purposes for which it was transmitted.

Finally, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information to third parties if we are required to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation.

We make significant efforts to protect our users from any unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the information we hold. Specifically:

• We encrypt the transfer of data to and from the website using SSL.
• We monitor the collection of data, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to protect against unauthorized access to systems.
• Access to personal information is restricted only to our employees and affiliated entities who need to know this information to provide services to us. These affiliated entities and the manner in which your data is secured are explicitly mentioned in this privacy statement (section 5: disclosure of personal data to third parties).

Third-party cookies include performance, functionality, and advertising/targeting cookies.

These cookies do not collect information that identifies the visitor. All the information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

The data collected by these cookies may be anonymized and do not have the ability to track your browsing or activity on other websites.
• Advertising/targeting cookies: These are used to provide content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to send targeted advertising or offers, to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may also be used to store the websites you have visited in order to determine the most effective online marketing channels and to reward external websites and partners that directed you to our site.
