7. How we use cookies

We use cookies and other similar technologies, such as browser local storage, to provide and enhance our services. Cookies are also used for content personalization and targeted advertising. Cookies allow us to offer more up-to-date and personalized services by displaying content based on the user's interests. They also enable functions such as login and authentication, storing personal settings and configurations, and analyzing the operation of our sites. When you use our online services, cookies may collect information such as your IP address, the links you use, the ads or other content you have viewed, the page you came from and the pages you visit, the browsing timestamp, your browser or application type, and similar information.
​​​​​​​
You can control the use of cookies through browser management functions. Further information about cookies can be found in the privacy or guidance documentation of each browser. Certain features of the services are determined by cookies, so blocking and deleting cookies (browser and other choices) may adversely affect the functionality and user experience of the respective online or mobile application service.


8. To whom do we disclose your personal data?

Personal data may only be disclosed within the limits permitted and required by the applicable legislation at any given time, as well as in the manner required by competent authorities. The data controller may share your personal information with carefully chosen third parties for joint or independent direct marketing purposes. Information may be shared for these purposes only when the intended use by the third party does not conflict with the purposes defined in this Data Controller's privacy policy.

The data controller may share the personal data of individuals participating in the data controller's events, at their discretion, with other participants in the event, if it is appropriate due to the nature of the event.

After the termination of a relevant relationship, the data controller may transfer data to their own direct marketing register within the limits permitted by law.

The data controller may share your personal information with third parties providing services to the data controller. These services may include, for example, customer service, software services, research activities, marketing, and event production. The data controller may share your personal information to collect payments for products and services and may transfer or sell unpaid invoices to third-party debt collection service providers.

The protection of your personal data is important to us, which is why we do not allow these parties to use the information for any purpose other than providing these services, and we require them to protect user personal data in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable legislation.

Personal data is not routinely disclosed for purposes other than those mentioned above. However, the data controller is entitled, in accordance with the legislation, to disclose personal data in situations such as business sales. In addition, the data controller may disclose information for statistical and analytical purposes in a way that the disclosed data cannot be linked to an individual.

9. Do we transfer your personal data outside the EU?

When providing services, the data controller may utilize resources and servers located around the world. Consequently, the data controller may transfer your personal data outside the country where the services are used, potentially including countries outside the EU with different data protection legislation.

In these cases, the data controller ensures that there is a legal basis for the data transfer and that user personal data is protected. This protection may involve, for example, the use of (if necessary) standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities and the requirement for adherence to appropriate technical and other data protection measures.


10. How long will my information be retained?

We retain your information for at least the duration of the customer relationship. After the termination of the customer relationship, the retention period depends on the type of information and its purpose. For example, identification information is retained for five years after the termination of the customer relationship, and information about potential customers is generally retained for six months from the date of collection. We comply with legal obligations regarding data retention.
We strive to keep the personal data we hold accurate and up-to-date by removing unnecessary information and updating outdated data. However, we encourage you to periodically review the accuracy of your information.

11. How is your personal information protected?
We protect your personal information very carefully by employing appropriate data protection and security measures. These measures include proactive and reactive risk management, the use of firewalls, encryption techniques, secure facilities for devices, access control, and security systems. We also implement security planning, controlled granting and monitoring of access rights, ensuring the competence of staff involved in the processing of personal data through training and assessments, and careful selection of subcontractors. We continuously update our internal practices and guidelines accordingly.
