This Non-Personal Information is collected automatically using the Services performed by the User and does not allow us to identify the Visitor or User. It consists mainly of technical information for aggregate use, such as browsing and networking activities, concentration and session scrolling maps, information that does not identify the device, operating system, Internet browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, internet service provider, reference pages, date/time data, etc. of the Visitor or User;

2. Identifiable personal information

This is the information that identifies a person or that may involve, through reasonable effort, the identification of a person or that may be of a private or sensitive nature (“Personal Information”).

The personal information we collect consists mainly of contact details (for example: email address or telephone number), billing data (name, payment method and transaction data), navigation data, or session usage (IP address, geo-location and/or unique device identification), data about third-party accounts (such as email or username of a PayPal, Google or Facebook-linked account), scanned credentials communications (such as an official company identity card, passport or registration documents), correspondence (including those made or downloaded through our services) and any other personal information provided by Visitors and/or Users, through access and/or use our services.

2. We collect information that the User provides to us voluntarily. For example, we collect personal information, which the user provides to us by registering with our Services; when you access our Services through third party services, such as Facebook or Google; when you send or upload such personal information, when you use one of our services; and/or when you contact us directly.

4. WHY IS THIS INFORMATION COLLECTED?

5. To generate aggregate statistics and other aggregated and/or deduced non-personal information, which may be used by us or our business partners, to provide and improve our services;

6. To strengthen our data protection and fraud prevention capabilities;

7. To update posts about vacancies within our organisation

8. To comply with all applicable laws and regulations in accordance with Regulation (EU) 679/2016 of the European Parliament and Council from 27 April 2016.

In addition, if the User wishes to express his opposition to the processing of data, after reading the purposes of their use, he may do so, at any time, by e-mailing to contact@aleg-romania.eu.

5. WHERE IS THE USER INFORMATION STORED?

The personal information of visitors and users of the site www.aleg-romania.eu may be stored, processed and archived by A.L.E.G.

Affiliates and hosting service providers responsible for storing or processing the User’s personal information on behalf of A.L.E.G. commit to keeping in their jurisdiction the data of the User, protected and safe, in accordance with the standards in force.

6. SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

A.L.E.G. may share (or grant access to) the User’s personal information to third parties only in the following ways and in the following cases:

6.1. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

A.L.E.G. collaborates with several selected service providers, whose services and solutions integrate with ours. These are:

– hosting and co-location server;

– communication and content delivery networks (CDN);

– computerized security services and data;

– billing and payment processing services;

– registration of domain names;

– fraud detection and prevention services;

– performance measurement and data optimization services.

These third-party services have access to the personal information of our visitors and users, in whole or in part-depending on their specific roles and purposes, for the purpose of facilitating and improving our Services and may only use them for such purposes.

It should be noted that while our Services may contain links to other sites or services, we are not responsible for the privacy practices implemented by those sites and services; therefore, we ask the User to pay attention to leaving our Services and to read the privacy policies of each site and service visited. This privacy policy does not apply to those sites and services to which you connect.

6.2. APPLICATION OF REGULATIONS, REQUIREMENTS AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS

A.L.E.G. may disclose or grant to others access to the User’s Personal Information by virtue of a legal obligation, such as a subpoena, court proceeding, search warrant, court order or in accordance with applicable law, if it considers in good faith that such conduct is required by law, with or without prior communication with the User.

6.3. PROTECTION AND SAFETY RIGHTS

A.L.E.G may share the User’s personal information with others, if it believes in good faith that it contributes to the protection of the rights, property or personal safety of any User, a User of the Users, with or without prior communication with the User.

7. USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

A.L.E.G uses certain control and tracking technologies (such as cookies, beacons, pixels, labels, and scripts). They are used to maintain, provide and improve our Services on an ongoing basis and to provide a better experience for our Users. For example, thanks to these technologies, we are able to maintain and track our user preferences and authenticated sessions to better protect our Services, identify technical issues, user trends and campaign effectiveness, and monitor and improve the performance overall of our service.

It should be noted that the Third-Party Services that use cookies or other tracking technologies, through our Services, may have their own information regarding the collection and storage of information. These practices are not covered by our Privacy Policy and we do not exercise any control over them.

Cookies: Because some of these technologies work properly, a small data file (“cookie”) will be downloaded and stored on the user device. By default, we use several persistent cookies in order to authenticate the session and the User: security, maintaining the User’s preferences (for example, about the default language and settings), connection stability (for example, for uploading media, through trade functions electronic, etc.), monitoring the performance of our services and marketing campaigns, in general, to provide and improve our services.

If you want to delete or block cookies, for instructions on how to locate the file or directory in which cookies are stored, see the help and support area in your internet browser. Information for deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.aboutcookies.org.uk (please note that this site is not provided by A.L.E.G and therefore we cannot guarantee its accuracy, completeness or availability).

It should be noted that deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies or tracking technologies may prevent access to certain areas or the functionality of our Services or may adversely affect the User’s experience.

Third-party cookies:

The www.aleg-romania.eu site also acts as an intermediary for third-party cookies, used to provide additional services and features to visitors and to improve the use of the site itself, such as social media buttons, media or videos. This site has no control over third-party cookies, which are operated entirely by third parties. Consequently, information on the use of these cookies and their purposes, as well as on how to deactivate them is provided directly by third parties, in the pages indicated below.

In particular, this site uses cookies from the following third parties:

Google Analytics: a Google analytics tool, which by using cookies (high-performance cookies) collects anonymous browsing data (IP truncated to the last byte) exclusively for the purpose of examining the use of the site by users, compiling reports on activities on the site and the provision of other information, including the number of visitors and pages visited. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the aforementioned information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Data transmitted to Google is stored on Google servers in the United States. Based on a specific agreement with Google, which is designated responsible for data processing, it undertakes to process the data based on the requests of the data controller (see at the bottom of the information) provided by the software settings. Based on these settings, advertising and data sharing options are turned off.

More information about Google Analytics cookies can be found on the Google Analytics cookies usage page.

Social network plugin

This site www.aleg-romania.eu also includes plugins and/or buttons for social networks, to allow easy sharing of content on your favorite social networks. These plugins are programmed so that you do not set cookies when accessing the page, to protect the privacy of users. If necessary, cookies are set, if provided by social networks, only when the user makes effective and voluntary use of the plugin. It should be remembered that if the user browses while connected to the social network, he/she has already consented to the use of cookies transmitted through this site when registering on the social network.

The collection and use of information obtained through the plugin are governed by the respective privacy policies of the social networks, which please consult: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+

8. COMMUNICATIONS

By subscribing to our Services (newsletters, blogs, social media accounts or public events) and providing your email address or other contact information (such as phone number or social media nickname), the User expressly agrees to receive offers from A.L.E.G through promotional content, messages or calls from the organisation or its partners.

If the User no longer wishes to receive these types of offers, he/she may notify A.L.E.G at any time or follow the unsubscribe or termination instructions contained in the promotional communications received, or by sending an email to contact@aleg-romania.eu

9. ACCESS TO THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF THE USER

The user has the right, at any time, to request from A.L.E.G access to the data provided up to that point and make changes or deletions.

The application procedure can take place by e-mail at contact@aleg-romania.eu

The response to these requests will take place within the periods considered reasonable and in accordance with EU Regulation 679/2016.

10. STORAGE OF DATA

The user’s personal information is kept for as long as the user account is active or, where necessary, for the provision of services.

We may continue to retain this personal information even after you deactivate your user account and / or stop using any particular service, subject to legal obligations and, in any case, no later than 12 months. In addition, we may resolve disputes regarding our Users, prevent fraud and abuse, comply with signed contracts and / or protect our legitimate interests.

11. SECURITY

A.L.E.G has implemented security measures to protect the personal information shared by the user, including physical, electronic and procedural measures.

Below are the security measures adopted:

– Secure HTTPS access to the service areas provided

– During the transmission of sensitive payment information (for example, credit card number) there is an encrypted connection, as it is redirected to the third party site that has security certifications for the payment system in use (eupay, mobilpay, paypal, xpay etc.)

To prevent possible cyber-attacks, systems are regularly monitored, and vulnerabilities are constantly raised by improving the security of services provided and the security of visitor and user data.

However, regardless of the measures and efforts implemented by A.L.E.G, it is not possible to guarantee the absolute protection and security of the user’s personal information or other user content uploaded, published or shared with A.L.E.G.

For this reason, we invite registered users to set complex passwords that are therefore difficult to decrypt on their behalf and to avoid the transmission of sensitive information whose disclosure could cause substantial or irreparable damage. Moreover, because some areas of our Services are less secure than others (for example, setting a “public” instead of a “private” request in the support forum or if you are browsing a non-SSL page) and because emails and instant messaging are not recognized as a secure form of communication, we encourage the User not to share any personal information in any of these areas or by any of these methods. For any questions regarding the security of our Services, please contact us at contact@aleg-romania.eu

12. TERMS OF USE, UPDATES AND INTERPRETATION

Your use of any of our Services and any disputes arising therefrom are subject to this Privacy Policy, as well as the Terms of Use and all its general provisions, including disclaimer of warranty, limitation of liability and indemnification.

This Privacy Policy, its interpretation and any relevant claims and disputes will be governed, interpreted and applied to all effects only and exclusively in accordance with EU Regulation 679/2016 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016.

Any complaint regarding one or more issues must be submitted by the interested party to the reference supervisory authority.

The user is invited to periodically reread this Policy for any updates regarding our privacy practices.

These updates are intended to reflect changes in our practices of collecting, using and storing information. If we make a change that we consider “substantial”, we will notify the customer by e-mail before the change takes effect.
