General
The term ‘personal data’ refers to information which, directly or indirectly, may refer to you as an individual. Examples of personal data are name, email address, government issued identification number, billing information, financial information (such as Know Your Customer disclosures), contact details and IP address. Personal data processing refers to any action that we or a third party that we have engaged take with the personal data, such as its collection, registration and storage. It also may include Cookies (see our Cookie Notice [insert link]). Personal data may only be processed for specified and explicitly stated purposes and may not be subsequently processed for any purpose that goes beyond these stated purposes.

We collect personal data such as name, e-mail address and other information which you voluntarily provide, e.g. when you choose to interact with the Company by subscribing to offerings, signing up for updates such as newsletters, deals and offers, webinars, trade shows, events etc. through email (which you can opt-out from via a link in each message sent through email), or by otherwise interacting with the Company or an Affiliate through one of the Sites.

We use the information collected to respond to your requests regarding products and services, to improve the content on our Sites and the services, to track and prevent abuse of our Sites and services, and to develop anonymous usage statistics.
We also use personal data for legally required notices, direct marketing and advertising in accordance with applicable law and market practice. You may opt out of such direct marketing and advertising at any time.

Personal data may also be processed indirectly in connection with the development and administration of the Company’s IT systems. The legal grounds for such usage include (i) performance of a contract where you request services/resources through the Sites and (ii) legitimate interest for other processing activities, such as for the purpose of improving services and the content of the Sites, as well as for prevention of abuse and for statistical purposes.
We delete collected personal data when the purpose of the processing has been completed. Our Cookie Notice includes retention periods in respect of cookies that we use.

The performance of these services may mean that such agents, both within and outside the EU/EEA, are able to gain access to your personal data. Companies that process personal data on our behalf must always sign a non-disclosure agreement with us so that we are able to ensure a high level of protection of your personal data with our partners.
Special safeguards are taken with regard to partners outside the EU/EEA, such as signing agreements that include the standardized model clauses for data transfers adopted by the EU Commission and which are available on the EU Commission’s Sites. We may also disclose your personal data to third parties, for example the police or other public authorities, pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process or if we are otherwise required to disclose such data by law or public authority decision. We will not disclose your personal data to any extent other than described in this section.
