Welcome to ATHORYS!

These terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of Athorys SRL's Website, located at https://athorys.com.

PRIVACY POLICY

1.Identity and contact details of the data controller and of the company

Athorys website is owned by ATHORYS SRL, which is a data controller of your personal data. When we mention "Athorys", "our", "us", "we", we are referring to

ATHORYS SRL: Rue Auguste Denie n° 38, 1082 Brussels - Belgium

(VAT)/Company number: (BE)1004.425.991

Contact: contact@athorys.com

Athorys takes care of your personal data and undertakes to guarantee its confidentiality, security and protection against third parties. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. We have adopted this Privacy Policy, which determines how we are processing the information collected, which also provides the reasons why we must collect certain personal data about you. Therefore, you must read this Privacy Policy before using our website.

2.Legal bases

The EU data protection rules, or General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) describe and authorize a company to collect and process the personal data of Internet users. Based on the GDPR, a company is allowed to collect or reuse your information of a personal nature when it has entered into a contract with you - for example, a contract for the supply of goods or services (when you make a purchase online).

3.Personal information we collect

When you visit the ATHORYS, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the installed cookies on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.” Moreover, we might collect the personal data you provide to us (including but not limited to Name, Surname, Address, payment information, etc.) during registration to be able to fulfill the agreement.

4.Why do we process your data

Our top priority is customer data security, and, as such, we may process only minimal user data, only as much as it is absolutely necessary to maintain the website. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that it would identify any particular user of the system.

You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information, by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the website’s features, or you wish to receive our newsletter or provide other details by filling a form, you may provide personal data to us, such as your email, first name, last name, city of residence, organization, telephone number. You can choose not to provide us with your personal data, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the website’s features. For example, you won’t be able to receive our Newsletter or contact us directly from the website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us via contact@athorys.com.

5.Retention period

Based on the aims of the processing and on hte contractual remations between you and us, we will retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To help determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider several points: the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

6.Links to other websites - Third party access

Our website may contain links to other websites, plug-ins and applications that are not owned or controlled by us. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. Please be aware that we do not control these third-party websites and that we are not responsible for such other websites or third parties' privacy practices. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our website and read the privacy statements of each website that may collect personal information.
