What personal data do we collect?

The data includes any data about you as a natural person whose identity we know or whom we can identify whether directly or indirectly.

Our Policy applies to all personal data which we have received from you or from other persons on legitimate grounds. 

We have classified all the personal data that we process into different categories, based on the purposes of personal data processing and the categories of data subjects (see below). 

Collection, processing and storage of personal data 

Personal data can be received directly from the data subject who provides it by filling in the query form on our website, sends in his/her CV or otherwise contacts the Company; it can be received from the business activity of the client, personal data processors of the Company or other external publicly available sources. Data can be generated when a person uses the services (makes a phone call, fills in a query form). A person has no obligation to provide personal data but it may happen that he/she will have no access to certain services, such as the sale and invoicing of services, unless he/she provides personal data. 

The present Privacy Policy shall not constitute an agreement between the Company and yourselves regarding the processing of your personal data. By the present Policy, we inform you about the main principles of personal data processing and the implementation of data subjects’ rights. Additional information can be set out in sale, services and other contracts. By using and purchasing the Company’s services, submitting his/her data, sending in his/her CV, filling in the query form, continuing to browse the website, the data subject confirms that he/she has reviewed the present Privacy Policy, understands its provisions and agrees to follow the Policy.
