When Do We Process Personal Data?
We process personal data in two primary ways: data you actively submit (e.g., through forms or interactions on our website) and data we collect automatically based on your use of our services. Specifically, we process internet activity data, such as IP addresses, browsing history, and browser information, which is collected when you visit our website. We also process inferences drawn from other personal data collected by our service providers. This data helps us understand user behavior, improve our advertising strategies, and personalize content.
Visiting Our Website
When you visit our website, our service provider collects your public IP address along with the date and time of access. This data is necessary to allow you to use our website and to protect our infrastructure from cyber-attacks. Although the data is typically anonymized, it may be used to identify malicious activities, such as attacks that might compromise the website’s functionality. This data is stored temporarily and depersonalized once it is no longer required for security purposes.
Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, local storage, pixel tags, and other similar technologies to enhance website functionality, analyze user behavior, and personalize content. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize you when you revisit our site. We use essential cookies necessary for the functioning of the website, functional cookies for specific features, and analytic cookies for user behavior analysis. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, but restricting cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
Google Analytics Data Protection
We use Google Analytics to analyze how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects data such as browser type, IP address (in an anonymized form), and time of access. This data is transferred to Google servers in the USA. We have implemented safeguards to ensure adequate protection of data transferred outside the EU/EEA. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the browser add-on available here. For more information, refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.
Advertisements
We use advertising partners to display ads to new potential customers. Retargeting technologies, such as cookies and tracking pixels, help us show ads based on your previous interactions with our website. These ads are intended to be relevant to your interests. We work with advertising partners like Microsoft Advertising and Google Ads. You can opt out of retargeting or interest-based advertising by adjusting your preferences through their respective opt-out pages. For example, you can use the Microsoft Privacy Choices or Google Ads Settings.
CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act
The CCPA grants specific rights to California residents concerning their personal information. These include the right to access your personal data, request its deletion, and opt out of the sale of your data. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us through our contact form. We will respond to your request within the required timeframe. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights, and you will not experience different pricing or services as a result.
Third-Party Data Transfer
In cases where your data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we take steps to ensure that the processing complies with European data protection standards, including the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
