We use and otherwise process your personal data for the purposes of improving the quality of our business and the services we offer; and for marketing, communications and other promotional literature.

The information we collect is limited to names, company details and email addresses.

Our legal basis to process your personal data includes processing that is necessary for our legitimate interests, including the processing activities described above. You are not required, either by contract or statute, to provide us with personal data for the processing described above.

We do not share, publish or sell your information. We never use the personal data provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, we also collect non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use, and how to better design, our website. From time to time, we may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our website.

If you are aware of any changes to or inaccuracies in your personal data, you can also inform us so that your personal data may be updated or corrected. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes applicable law.
