When we collect information about how you use our website, such as which landing pages you visit and which items you look at, we do so in order to make a determination about how we could best provide our services to you. For example, if you read about our products and services on our website, we might classify you as a user or a website visitor who is interested in our products and services and therefore as a potential customer. Based on the audience we expect you belong to, we may act, for example by contacting you with offers about our products and services, if we have your consent for this.

In order to make the most accurate assessment about which audience you likely belong to, and as you can also read in our Cookies Policy, we also use tracking cookies.

Social media buttons

We use plugins on our website from social media networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. You can recognize these plugins by their logos.

If our business is sold or integrated with another business, your details will be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

Otherwise, we will not share your information with any third party, unless we have your permission (for example if we wish to share your details with another group company for their marketing or sales purposes), where this is necessary in connection with the purposes above or with legal claims or when we have a legal obligation to do so.


How do we protect your data?

We are committed securing your personal data and have taken steps in this regard. To prevent unauthorized people or parties from being able to access your data, we have put in place a range of technical and organizational measures to safeguard and secure the information we process from you.

Your Rights

You are entitled to object to us processing your personal data, including profiling. You may also ask us for an overview of your information or ask for a copy. You may also request us to correct or delete certain data, restrict processing of your data, or ask us to transfer some of this information to other organisations.

Where we process your data for our legitimate interests, you can contact us if you want more information about these.

There are some exceptions to these rights, however. For example, it will not be possible for us to delete your data if we are required by law to keep it or if we hold it in connection with a contract with you. Similarly, access to your data may be refused if making the information available would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
