Depending on your interaction with our site, we may gather various categories of personal data, including:

Identification data: such as name, address, contact email, telephone number, and job title.

Utilisation of personal data

In adherence to GDPR guidelines, we process personal data based on lawful grounds, including contractual necessity, consent, or legitimate business interests.

Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary, with a maximum period of 2 years from your last interaction if initiated during a sales process. Legal obligations may also necessitate data retention.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Storage and transfer of personal data

We prioritise secure data handling and refrain from transferring personal data to countries lacking GDPR adequacy decisions. However, third-party involvement might require data transfer to such countries, with adequate safeguards in place.

Data sharing

Your personal data is shared only when legally mandated.
