The legal basis for processing personal data is your consent. We collect and process personal data primarily to provide assistance, support, and answers to your questions related to the main purpose of this site.

 Also, regarding data about your use of our site (collected through cookies), these are processed:

• based on a legitimate interest if cookies are placed on your device strictly to ensure the normal functioning of the site, and

How Do We Use the Collected Data?

All personal data is securely stored in accordance with the GDPR. We use your data to provide you access to information and responses to communications you initiate with us, as well as for sending emails.

If you address a request or a question to us through the contact forms on the site, the data collection is based on your consent, so that we can use this data to provide you with an answer. In this case, the use of personal data may include contacting you via email and/or phone to send or request information.

Additionally, we inform you that we may compile statistics about the use of our website, including data on traffic, usage patterns, user numbers, and other information.

We only retain your data for as long as we need to use it as described above and/or for as long as we have your permission to keep it.

Data security is of great importance to us. To protect your data, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the data collected through our website.

 Steps we take to ensure and protect your data include:

• encrypting access to our website through an SSL certificate,

Absence of Automated Decision Making
