3. WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS?
The data collected on this site can be categorized into two groups: Customer data and Analytics data. Although we do not normally use Analytics data to identify individuals, sometimes individuals can be recognized from it, either alone or when combined or linked with Customer data.

Ductor may collect and process the following Customer data:
- Your name and contact details
- Phone number

- Direct marketing opt-outs and opt-ins
We may also process details about your interaction with our emails (such as whether the email is opened and which links are clicked in the email).
Analytics data may include for example the following data:
- IP address
- Device type
- Operating system
- Time of visit
- Search terms used to reach our websites
- Browser type and version
- Browsing patterns on the site
- Unique cookie identifiers

4. DATA SOURCES
Your Customer data is primarily received directly from you in connection with your registration. We may also receive data directly from you if you contact us with a question or complaint. Analytics data is automatically collected when you visit the site. We may also track transactions data as well as details of your browsing patterns on the site.
5. PURPOSES AND LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING
Purposes of processing
Customer communication: We may process personal data for the purpose of communicating with Customers. If you contact our customer service, we will use the provided information to answer your questions and for solving any issues you may have.
Analytics and service improvements :We may process information regarding the use of our site to improve our service quality. This may involve the use of analytics or the assessment of any trends on our website. When possible, we will do this using only aggregated, non-personally identifiable data.
Direct Marketing: With your consent we may send you marketing material, such as newsletters.
Legal grounds for processing
We process personal data to perform our contractual obligations towards Customers or to facilitate their entry into a contract at their request. We also process certain information to comply with legal obligations, such as accounting legislation.
Furthermore, we process personal data to pursue our legitimate interest to run, maintain and develop our business, for analytics and trend detection, direct marketing and to create and maintain customer relationships. We may also process data for responding to consumer claims, cases regarding product warranty and similar situations. When choosing to use your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, we carefully weigh our own interests against your right to privacy.
6. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
We use cookies and various other technologies to collect and store Analytics data and other information when Customers use our site as well as for personalization and advertising purposes. Further information on the use of cookies and on how to manage cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy.
7. DATA TRANSFERS TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE EEA
Ductor stores the Customers’ personal data primarily within the European Economic Area and/or Switzerland. However, we have service providers in several geographical locations. As such, we or our service providers may transfer personal data to, or access it in, jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the Customer’s domicile. We will take steps to ensure that the Customers’ personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which it is processed. We provide adequate protection for the transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area and Switzerland through a series of agreements with our service providers based on the Standard Contractual Clauses or other similar arrangements.
8. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may, where necessary for the purposes of this Privacy Policy, share data with our group companies and group subsidiaries. Otherwise we do not share personal data with third parties outside of our organization unless one of the following circumstances applies:
For legal reasons: We may share personal data with third parties outside Ductor’s organization if we have a good-faith belief that access to and use of the personal data is reasonably necessary to: (i) meet any applicable law, regulation, and/or court order; (ii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; and/or (iii) protect the interests or safety of Ductor or our Customers in accordance with the law. Where possible, we will inform Customers about such transfer and processing.
To our authorized service providers: We may share personal data to authorized service providers who perform services for us (including data storage, sales, marketing and Customer support). Our agreements with our service providers include commitments that the service providers agree to limit their use of personal data and to comply with privacy and security standards at least as stringent as the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please bear in mind that if you provide personal data directly to a third party, such as through a link on our website, the processing is typically based on their policies and standards.
For other legitimate reasons: If Ductor is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we may transfer personal data to the third party involved. However, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of all personal data. We will give notice to all Customers concerned when the personal data are transferred or become subject to a different privacy policy as soon as reasonably possible.
With your explicit consent :We may share personal data with third parties outside Ductor’s organization for other reasons than the ones mentioned before, when we have the Customer’s explicit consent to do so. You have the right to withdraw this consent at all times.
To other data controllers: In certain cases we may also process and transfer your personal data to our third party partners with whom you have an existing contractual relationship with, if such transfer is necessary for providing you with certain benefits or to ensure the full performance of the Ductor products and the Ductor service. For example, if you purchase our products in connection to a bonus scheme campaign or in connection to another service provided by our third party partner, we may provide such partners with the personal data necessary for them to acknowledge and calculate your accrued bonus or to provide you with the service involving the use of Ductor products. Please note that such partners shall process your personal data as independent data controllers in accordance with their own privacy policies.
9. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?
Ductor does not store personal data longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the purposes specified above. The storage period depends on the nature of the information and the purposes of processing. The maximum period may therefore vary per use. Storage periods reflect the time frames we may need data for accounting, claims handling, internal reporting or reconciliation purposes.
10. YOUR RIGHTS
Right to access: You have the right to access your personal data processed by us. You may contact us and we will inform you what personal data we have collected and processed regarding you.
Right to withdraw consent: In case the processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw the consent at any time. Withdrawing a consent may lead to fewer possibilities to use our site. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to correct: Customers have the right to have incorrect or incomplete personal data we have stored about the Customer corrected or completed. You can correct or update some of your personal data through your account.
Right to erasure: Customers may also ask us to erase the Customer’s personal data from our systems. We will comply with such request unless we have a legitimate ground to not delete the data.
Right to object: Customers may object to the processing of personal data if such data are processed for other purposes than purposes necessary for the provision of the site to the Customer or for compliance with a legal obligation. In case we do not have legitimate grounds to continue processing such personal data, we shall no longer process the personal data after your objection.
Right to restriction of processing: Customers may request us to restrict processing of personal data for example when your data erasure, rectification or objection requests are pending and/or when we do not have legitimate grounds to process your data. This may however lead to fewer possibilities to use our site.

How to use the rights: The above mentioned rights may be used by sending a letter or an e-mail to us on the addresses set out above, including the following information: the full name, company name, address, e-mail address and a phone number. We may request the provision of additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the Customer. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, excessive or manifestly unfounded.

12. SAFEGUARDING YOUR DATA
