This Privacy Policy is the integral part of the Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) and governs collection, processing and use of Customer’s personal and certain other information.
General Provisions
Providing personal data is an act of trust and it is taken seriously. Unless given explicit consent to do otherwise and/or otherwise permissible by and/or required by law, Effex will only collect and use personal data as set out below.
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we refer to your “personal data” as any data relating directly or indirectly to a living individual and from which it is practicable for the identity of the individual to be directly or indirectly ascertained, and such data is in a form in which access to or processing of the data is practicable.
Effex acts in compliance with applicable laws for which purpose Effex implemented this Privacy Policy.
Collection of Personal Data
Effex does not collect personal data beyond the limited data Effex needs to perform services to its Customers.
Effex collects personal data provided directly by the Customer when the Customer contacts Effex, fills in any forms, request for goods or services or contact Effex with any questions.
Effex may automatically collect certain information about Customer’s computer device, browsing activities, statistical information, information on visits and use of Effex’s website. Effex may receive certain data automatically collected by its software, for example: IP address, cookies data, performance specifications of the customer’s hardware and software, date and time of access to the Website, the URL of the page requested. This information is aggregated to provide statistical data about Customer’s browsing actions and patterns, and does not personally identify individuals.
Effex will only collect and process personal data about Customer where Effex has lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent (where Customer has given consent), contract and “legitimate interests”.
Where Effex relies on Customer’s consent to process personal data, Customer has the right to withdraw or decline consent at any time and where Effex relies on legitimate interests, Customer has the right to object. If you have any questions about the lawful bases upon which Effex collects and uses personal data, please contact us at info@effex.eu.
