2. Categories of data collected and how it is used
Personal data includes any information about you from which you can, directly or indirectly, be identified.
When you visit the Website, when you contact us and when you order our services/products, we may collect and process specific personal data about you, so that you may benefit from the functions and services provided through the Website.
Please note that we do not use automated decision-making without human intervention, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affects you.
We also note that the Website is not intended for use by underage persons, and we do not knowingly collect personal data pertaining to underage persons.
Data collected directly from you
We may collect some personal data about you for communication purposes, such as to answer your requests for information, as well as to understand better your expectations and needs. Specifically, when you contact us via the contact form of our Website, we collect and process information about you, which you provide to us directly, such as your name, telephone number and the content of the communication you address to us. We will use this information to communicate with you and provide you with our services.
When you purchase a service, for example, when you select one of the available user licenses to access a range of tools to support your business, we collect and process certain information about you, our customers, such as information about your identity (e.g., name, identification details of your legal representative) and contact information about you (e.g., contact details; e-mail, content of our communications), including your registration information (e.g. your subscription information), as well as information regarding your billing as our customers (e.g. VAT number, payment details).
We will also collect and process certain information about you when you submit a job application to our Company, such as your identity and contact details and information about your education and professional experience. In this case, a separate privacy policy applies, namely the Job Applicants’ Privacy Policy, which is available here.

Aggregated data
We may collect aggregated data, such as statistical information, for any purpose. While aggregated data may derive from your personal data, it is not considered personal data because such data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity (for example, we may aggregate usage data to calculate the percentage of users who have access to certain elements of the website).

5. How long do we keep your data?
