How do we collect your personal data?

We collect and process different categories of personal data from you as follows:

Via the contact form (the Operator will process the following personal data provided by you: first and last name, phone number, email address, county, as well as any other information you provide in the “Message” box).
Via the recruitment form (the Operator will process the following personal data provided by you: first and last name, phone number, email address, county, and any other information you provide in the “Message” box).

This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device accessing the internet is located, browser type, operating system, and other usage information related to your use of our website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to better design our website to meet the needs of our users. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose issues with our servers and to manage our website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and collect general demographic information to support identifying visitor preferences.

We collect and process different categories of personal data from you as a user of our Facebook page (hereinafter referred to as “our page”), which, according to European Union data protection laws, gives us the role of data controller for such data. On our page, we process the following personal data:

– If you send a message to the page, we have access to your public profile (including your username), as well as the content and date/time of that message. The messages may be used, for example, in contests or to reward random winners, in which case we may validate winners through private messages and request additional information (delivery details).

– If you comment on a post on the page, we have access to your public profile (including your username), as well as the content and date/time of that comment.

– If you interact with the content of our page (like, share), we can view your public profile (including your username) and the reaction.

When you interact with our page, Facebook processes certain personal data, which allows us to access aggregated statistics. These do not include personal data directly, but are limited to:

For this reason, only Facebook processes your personal data to establish interest categories, which you can read about in Facebook’s privacy notice.

This data is processed in our legitimate interest to promote our brand or product, as applicable, and to prove, if necessary, correspondence with you. The data is kept for the entire duration that our page is active.

You should understand that all of this data, and more, is always available to Facebook, as the platform owner (and therefore the operator of your personal data). For details on Facebook’s processing, please refer to its own privacy notice.

We do not use your data to send you marketing communications.

Right to Restriction: You may request a restriction on processing your personal data in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data, for the period we need to verify the accuracy;
The processing is unlawful, but you request a restriction of processing instead of erasing your data;
