Data Controller
DC Infotech, as identified at the top of this Privacy Policy, is the data controller regarding all personal data processing carried out through the Website.
For any questions related to this Privacy Policy, please contact: sales@dcinfotech.com
Personal Data processed
When you use the Website, we may will collect and process information regarding you (as an individual) which allows you to be identified either by itself, or together with other information which has been collected. We may also be able to collect and process information regarding other persons in this same manner, if you choose to provide it to DC Infotech.
This information may be classified as “Personal Data” and can be collected by DC Infotech both when you choose to provide it (e.g., when you sign up for an account, in order to receive DC Infotech’s Services) or simply by analysing your behaviour on the Website.
Personal Data which can be processed by DC Infotech through the Website are as follows:
Name, contact details and other Personal Data
In various sections of the Website – e.g. if you decide to request a quote on the Website, or to subscribe to the Website’s Blog – you will be asked to submit information such as your name, phone / mobile numbers and e-mail address, as well as information related to the company you currently work for and your position in that company.
In addition, whenever you participate in surveys and other promotions which may be available on the Website, as well as whenever you communicate with DC Infotech through the contact details provided in the Website, DC Infotech may collect additional information which you choose to provide. This is also the case regarding any information you choose to disclose in certain sections of the Website which allow you to participate in a public forum or to contact DC Infotech directly.
Special Categories of Personal Data
Certain areas of the Website include free text fields where you can write messages to DC Infotech (e.g., the Live Chat), or otherwise allow you to post various types of content on the Website, which may contain Personal Data.
Where these fields are completely free, you may use them to disclose, or may post content which discloses (inadvertently or not) more sensitive categories of Personal Data, such as data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. The content you upload in these fields may also (inadvertently or not) include other types of sensitive information relating to you, such as your genetic data, biometric data or data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.
DC Infotech asks that you do not disclose any sensitive Personal Data on the Website, unless you consider this to be strictly necessary. If you do, then this Personal Data may be processed by the Company based on your explicit consent.
Other persons’ Personal Data
As mentioned in the previous section, certain areas of the Website include free text fields where you can write messages to DC Infotech, or otherwise allow you to post various types of content on the Website. These messages and content may (inadvertently or not) include Personal Data related to other persons.
In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons on the Website, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that you must fully indemnify DC Infotech against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation for damages which may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Website.
As DC Infotech does not collect this information directly from these third parties (but rather collects them, indirectly, from you), you must make sure that you have these third parties’ consent before providing any information regarding them to DC Infotech; if not, then you must make sure there is some other appropriate grounds on which you can rely to lawfully give DC Infotech this information.
Browsing Data
The Website’s operation, as is standard with any websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website’s users as part of their routine operation. While DC Infotech does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data.
This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your computer, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on.
These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, as well as to ensure its correct operation and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website.
