Personal data we collect
Data when you visit the website
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. This collection of data aims at personalising your experience on the Site, improve customer service, respond to queries and emails of our customers and most importantly. It is important to highlight that this information will not otherwise be aggregated in such a way that would enable us to identify any particular user of the system.
More information about this type of data you can find here
We are aware that our company is based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and we are offering goods and service to data subjects that are residents in the EEA. Therefore, we are aware of the REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation or GP) and we intend to comply in full with it.
Legal bases
Consent
We process personal data based on the consent of the data subject itself for a specific purpose to continue discussing when his/her contact details were not directly obtained from the latter, but nevertheless, there was agreement with respect to the continuation of the discussion). This will be performed in accordance with Article 6.1(a) of the GDPR.
Data which was not directly obtained from the customer / potential customer
If this is not the case, we will process the personal data based on Article 6.1(f) of the GDPR as this would be necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us. Hereunder, you may find a breakdown of our balancing test, which would make sure that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects will not be overridden by our legitimate interests.
Therefore, in the absence of consent from the data subject we will contact, we prospect our clients on the publicly available information on LinkedIn and will always make an attempt to obtain in advance the information from the company, e.g. from the contact form or general e-mail address of the company.
Should this not be the case, we will verify and check the e-mail address via third-party prospecting services, which will guess your e-mail using publicly available information and run it through a verification tool. We have checked that legitimate interests is the most appropriate legal basis to process personal data. We understand our responsibility to protect the individual’s interests. We have conducted a legitimate interests assessment and action and also kept a record of it, in order to ensure that we can justify our decision to contact you directly via e-mail. We have checked that the processing is necessary for us in order to continue our business and gain new clients and there is no less intrusive way or another solution, which would involve disproportionate efforts and costs from us to achieve the same results. Should this not be the case, we will not be able to continue our business and find new clients as traveling to the EU to attend different events or set up meetings would involve disproportionate costs for us. We have done a balancing test and we are confident that the individual’s interests are not overridden by our legitimate interests. What is more, we will not process children’s data. We have considered safeguards to reduce the impact where possible. We have considered whether we can offer an opt out. Each time we will contact a person via e-mail, we will immediately offer the possibility to opt-out from our communications. Consequently, we will immediately take all necessary steps to delete the data we will have in possession (name and surname, e-mail address, position in a company) with immediate effect.
Once we will obtain your contact details, we will inform you about this processing within 1 month from the date when we have obtained it.
We will not store data which is not necessary for our purposes and will not keep it for longer than it is necessary. Moreover, we will not sell / disclose this data to any other third party processors.
In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the specific case of processing your personal data. As a consequence, you may contact us at the following address: info@sphinxworldbiz.net .
