  1. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the relevant personal data and the specific context we collect.

As a rule, however, we only collect personal data from you (i) when we need personal data to enter into a contract with you. (ii) if the processing is in our legitimate interest and has not been replaced by your rights; or (iii) when we have your consent. We have a legitimate interest in administering our services, and communicating with you to provide these services, such as responding to your inquiries, improving our platform, conducting marketing, or detecting or preventing illegal activity.

In some cases, the law may be required to collect personal information from you or otherwise need personal information to protect your vital interests or the interests of others.

If we ask you to provide personal data to comply with legal requirements or to sign a contract with you, we will clarify this in due time and inform you whether it is mandatory to provide your data (and the possible consequences) if you do not provide your personal information).

  1. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

You may access other third-party services through the Services, for example by clicking on links to those third-party services from within the Services. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of these third-party services, and we encourage you to carefully review their privacy policies.

  1. SECURITY

SIMREP ENGINEERING is committed to protecting your information. To do so, we employ a variety of security technologies and measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. However, please bear in mind that the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

  1. DATA RETENTION

By the requirements of the GDPR, we store personal data that we collect from you when we have a permanently legitimate business that we need to run (for example, to provide the services you have requested or to comply with applicable laws, taxes or to comply with accounting requirements.).

If we do not have a permanent legal need to process your personal data, we will delete or make it anonymous. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal information is already on file), we will store and isolate personal details securely from further processing to possible deletion..

  1. ACCESS

As provided by the GDPR, you have full rights to access certain information related to your account by sending us an email. If you terminate your account, public activity on his account may remain on our servers and be available to the public before deletion.

To protect your privacy and security, we may also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before updating or deleting your information. The information you provide to us may be backed up or stored by us periodically following the backup process in standard business for disaster recovery purposes. Your ability to access and correct your information may be temporarily limited if access and correction could: affect the SIMREP ENGINEERING’s ability to comply with legal obligations; interfere with the SIMREP ENGINEERING’s ability to investigate, make or defend legal claims; leads to disclosure of personal information about third parties; or result in a breach of contract or disclosure of trade secrets or other business information held by SIMREP ENGINEERING or third parties.

  1. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS UNDER THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the following data protection rights:

  • If you wish to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information, you can do so at any time by emailing us.
  • In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by emailing us.
  • You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing emails we send you. To opt-out of other forms of marketing, please contact us by emailing us.
  • Similarly, if we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
  • You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

  1. YOUR CHOICES

You can use some Service features without registering, which limits the types of information we collect.

You can unsubscribe from receiving individual promotional emails from us. If this is what you want to do, follow the instructions at the bottom of the email. Even if you unsubscribe, we may still contact you for information, transactions, account-related purposes, or similar.

Many browsers have the option to disable cookies, which means your browser may not accept new cookies or allow selective use of cookies. Please note that some functions and adjustments to our services may no longer work for you if you do not accept cookies. You will continue to receive promotional material, but it is not in your best interest.
