What Personal Data do we process and for what purposes?

Most of our services do not require any form of registration, which allows you to visit our site without telling us who you are. However, some services may require you to provide us with Personal Data, such as your name, email address or telephone number. We may collect and use Personal Data to provide you with products or services, to bill you for products and services that you want, to offer products and services that we believe may be of interest to you (when the legal prerequisites for that), or to communicate with you for another purpose that is apparent from the circumstances or of which we inform you when collecting Personal Data from you. The grounds on which we most often process your personal data are your consent, the performance of a contract to which you are a party, the fulfillment of a legal obligation or for the purposes of TechnoElite’s legitimate interests.

Personal data used to analyze the use of the website:

We may collect and process information about your visits to this website, for example, the pages you visit, the website you access through, and some of the searches you perform. We use this information to improve site content and to gather aggregate statistics about our site users for internal market research purposes. In this process, we may install cookies that collect information about the user’s domain name, your Internet service provider, your operating system, and the date and time of access. A “cookie” is a small piece of information sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a “cookie”, which will allow you to decide whether you want to accept it or not. You also have the option to completely refuse to receive cookies.

Sometimes on this site it is possible to use Internet tags by us or third parties engaged by us providing advertising or other services, (tags are also known as “action tags”, “single-pixel GIFs”, “clear GIFs”, “invisible GIFs” and “1-by-1 GIFs”) as well as cookies, as well as to implement the tags/cookies in question through a third party – advertising partner or web analytics partner, which is located and stores the relevant information (including your IP address) in another country. These tags/cookies are placed both in online advertisements that lead users to this site and on various pages on this site. We use this technology to measure the response behavior of visitors to our sites and the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns (including how many times a page is opened and what information is viewed), and to evaluate your use of this website. With the help of these tags/cookies, the third party partner or the web analytics partner can collect data about visitors to our and other sites, prepare reports for us about website activity and provide other services related to the use of the website and Internet. These partners may provide the collected information to other persons if there is such a legal requirement or if they engage other persons to process information on their behalf.

We may combine, aggregate or anonymize data we have collected from you and data we have collected from you or about you from other sources such as publicly accessible databases, providers of demographic information, partners with whom we conduct joint marketing activity , social media platforms and other third parties.

We may use your data for commercial purposes, including for audits, to monitor and prevent fraud, violations and other potential abuse of our products and services, and to make changes to the services we offer.

When and to whom do we disclose your information?

This Privacy Policy describes the circumstances under which we may share your Personal Data.
