We will process the information we collect about you for the period necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. We do not intend to process special categories of data, such as personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or process genetic data, biometric data for the unique identification of a natural person, health data, or data concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation unless the individual has given explicit consent for such processing.

We take appropriate measures to help protect data subjects' information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

This website uses the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc. This service requires the use of "cookies" – see the section on Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Technologies below. Some information/data about your use of the website created by the cookie may be transmitted to Google's server and stored there for analytical purposes. On behalf of FUERGY Industries j.s.a., Google will use this information/data to evaluate and analyze your use of the website, create reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website or internet usage. The IP address your browser transmits as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with other Google data.

We collect information from user visits to our website and from the use of our cloud services and software products, which help us gather statistics on usage and effectiveness and personalize the user experience. We do this using various technologies, including scripts, tags, local shared objects (Flash cookies), local storage (HTML5), and so-called "cookies."

A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser and that may then be stored on your computer as a tag identifying your computer. While cookies are often used solely to measure website usage (such as visitor counts and visit duration) and effectiveness (such as topics that interest visitors most) and to facilitate easy navigation or usage, and as such are not linked to any personal data, they may sometimes be used to personalize the experience of a known website visitor by linking them to profile information or user preferences. Over time, this information provides valuable insights that help improve the user experience.

Cookies in our software products can be disabled within the product itself. Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some features of our websites or our software products and SaaS offerings, we recommend keeping them enabled. If you block, disable, or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly.

Some of our business partners set tracking pixels and cookies on our websites. Additionally, third-party social media buttons may record certain information, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access time, and referring website addresses. If you are logged into these social media sites, they may also link the collected information to your profile information on that site. We do not control these third-party tracking technologies.

We process your personal data for various reasons, depending on how we interact with you, including the following purposes:

• Providing and facilitating the provision of services to the user. We may process your data to provide you with the requested service.
• Responding to user inquiries/providing user support. We may process your data to respond to your inquiries and address any issues you may have with the requested service.

The GDPR and the law require us to explain the valid legal bases on which we rely when processing your personal data. We may rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:

• Consent. We may process your data if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal data for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your data if we believe it is justified by the need to achieve our legitimate business interests and these interests do not override your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms.

• Analyzing how our websites are used to improve them and retain users.
• Diagnosing issues and/or preventing fraudulent activities.

We will not share, sell, or give away any of your personal information to third parties unless one of the following circumstances applies:

• We may share information (and will attempt to provide you with prior notice, to the extent legally permissible) in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

Your personal data is transferred, processed, and stored on servers located in the Slovak Republic. We may assign data processing to third parties located in countries other than your home country or share your data with them. In order to provide you with access to the website (if applicable and if you choose to access it), you confirm and acknowledge that your personal data may be processed, transferred, and stored in other countries where you may not have the same rights as under local legal regulations.

Your personal data will not be transferred to countries that do not guarantee an adequate level of protection (hereinafter referred to as “third countries”).

We have implemented appropriate and adequate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of all personal data we process. However, despite our security measures and efforts to safeguard your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to breach our security and unlawfully collect, access, steal, or modify your data.

While we will do our best to protect your personal data, transmitting personal information to and from our services is at your own risk. You should only access the website in a secure environment.

You also have the right to data portability (if technically feasible). Furthermore, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority, which is the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic: https://dataprotection.gov.sk/sk/.
