Personal data can be collected in the following ways:

Collection of other data

We also collect non-personalised data – data that cannot be directly linked to a specific person (gender, age, language preference, location). We may also collect data about customer activities on our website. This data is aggregated and used so that we can provide more useful information to our customers and learn which parts of the website and services are of most interest to users. Aggregated data is treated as non-personalised data in this privacy policy.

Use and storage of collected personal data

With the help of collected personal data, we can contact the customer, inform customers about news, new products, etc. A customer who does not wish to be on our newsletter list or receive notifications and direct marketing content can remove themselves from the target group of recipients at any time.

We may use the collected personal data to fulfil our obligations to the customer.

By accepting the terms of the privacy policy, the customer consents to the automated processing of their data. It is always possible to withdraw consent by making a statement in a form that enables written reproduction. There is no retroactive effect on the application or withdrawal of consent.

We keep the customer’s personal data as long as it is necessary to achieve the goals. The retention period depends on the need to respond to customer’s inquiries. We retain data that we are obliged to store due to legislation (e.g. accounting data) based on the requirements set out in legislation.
