Introduction

The privacy of your personal information is important to us. Therefore, we endeavour to:

Only collect that information from you which is necessary to offer or better the services which we provide.

Protect the personal information that we do collect from you from unauthorized and illegitimate uses.

Data Collection

By visiting our website, certain data is automatically collected (or accessible) such as your IP address and certain data about your browser (such as browser type, user agent and display size). Most of this data (such as display size) is only temporarily used in order to better display the website, and is forgotten (and inaccessible) when you leave the site. However, your IP address and user agent may be recorded indefinitely within our logs, in order to identify and prevent malicious use of our site and its services.

Other data is collected when provided by you through your use of our services, such as when filling out a lead form, signing up for our newsletter, or when using contact forms. We must record this data in order to offer the services you have requested. This data may include such things as: a first and last name, an e-mail address, a phone number, city and country of residence, billing information and your inquiry.

Should you phone us, certain information about the call (such as the phone number, display name, and call duration) is logged indefinitely for statistical and security purposes. The voice data of calls is not recorded.

Data Retention

Automatic data collection for the purposes of security (such as IP addresses that have accessed our site) are retained indefinitely.

Contact information you provide us when signing up for a newsletter is retained until you opt-out of the newsletter.

Information you provide through e-mail or when using our contact form is kept until you request its deletion.

We regularly store encrypted backups of our data and the data we collect. As it is not feasible for us to remove data from all of our backups, we will instead retain records of deletion requests, and carry out those requests on recovered data, should the need arise to restore data from our backups.

We use Google Analytics to track how our website gets used and to help better our ads. This tracking gets shared with Google (due to how their service works). However, you can opt-out of this this tracking and data sharing by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out extension for your browser..

We use Meta Pixel to track how our website gets used and to help better our ads. This tracking gets shared with Meta. You may also opt out of Meta Pixel tracking by rejecting cookies from our website. You can review their privacy policy here.
