That’s why this policy refers to our commitment to handle and treat the information of our customers, stakeholders and all other interested parties with the strictest care and confidentiality.

Why do we collect and process personal data?

In other words, what are the legal bases and purpose of the processing of personal data?
The bases for processing personal data are our legitimate interests (like customer relationship management), consent of a customer and/or performance of a contract.

We process personal data to:
deliver and develop our products and services, fulfill contractual and other obligations, commit to keeping promises we have made take care of the customer relationships analyze and profile behaviour in order to communicate with relevancy conduct research studies (we do research occasionally) enable electronic and direct marketing, and target advertising In simplish English, we do this because we need to be able to store and process information; to keep in touch with our clients, provide amazing customer care and also prospect future customers. It’s also necessary for deducing and analysing people’s interests, considering in particular, our website. This allows us to develop the things that people are actually interested in, and send information that the recipients find especially valuable, relevant and even cool!

We process information ourselves and also use subcontractors that process personal data for us and on behalf of us (Activecampaign, Squarespace and Google).
We also use the personal data stored in our customer register for profiling purposes. Profiling is carried out by creating a unique customer ID for the data subject and storing this ID on the device of the data subject. This enables us or our subcontractor to combine the data generated by the use of different services and products, and to create a profile of the data subject’s behavior. The purpose of this profiling is to identify customer behaviour; to enable more accurate target marketing and development of our services to better meet our customers’ needs.

Let us provide you with an example of what this could mean in practice. For instance, depending on how you navigate and engage with our website, we may customise our marketing emails to you, so that they contain information which you are most likely to be interested in (assuming that we have your email address and we have a legal basis for sending emails to you). Of course, you are able to opt out of our marketing emails at any given time, if you don’t find them interesting or if you love someone else more than us (said with jealousy).
