The safety and security of your personal data is of great importance to Elsim Commerce Ltd, and we comply with all applicable data protection laws while processing your personal data, where “personal data” or “data” means as set out below.

This privacy policy is intended to inform you about the processing of your data in connection with your visit to our website www.elsim.net (hereinafter referred to as the “Site”) and your use of any additional services offered by Elsim Commerce Ltd.

We reserve the right to change this “Privacy Policy” at any time. These changes will be posted on our website and will take effect immediately unless otherwise stated. In this regard, we encourage you to review this “Privacy Policy” regularly to ensure that you have the most up-to-date version.

Data processing

We only process your data to the extent necessary and where permitted by law, i.e. if it is necessary for contractual purposes or to allow you to use our site or if you have given us your express consent, and to respond to an enquiry made through the site. In particular, we process your data for the following purposes and based on the following legal grounds:

Contact form

You can send us questions using the contact form on our website. To answer your question, we need some contact details such as your phone number or your email address.

We will only use any data collected via the contact form to answer the question you have asked. For this data processing purpose, we collect the following information:

“Cookies and social plugins

We use cookies and social plug-ins on our site that may be related to the processing of your personal data.

“Cookies are text files that are stored in or by your internet browser when you visit a website from your computer system. “A cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is revisited. Some cookies are used in connection with the pure functionality of the website, others are used for analytics purposes.

In particular, we use the following cookies on our website:

“Cookies for the technical support of the website

Some cookies are generally used for the purpose of technical support of the website. We need to process certain automatically submitted information about you so that your browser can display our website and you can use it.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager on our website. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage web page tags through a single desktop interface. Google Tag Manager itself (which deploys the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal information. The Google Tag Manager service powers other tags, which in turn can collect data. Google Tag Manager does not have access to this data. Domain-level disabling or cookie disabling will also apply to all tracking tags deployed with Google Tag Manager.

Data storage

It is common practice – in the event that you only visit and browse our site without actively using it (see below) – that your data is only stored for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose for which it was collected and then deleted. Therefore, if the data is no longer needed, we will delete it immediately, unless there are applicable time limits in relation to legal grounds to store it. In this case, the data will be blocked for purposes other than the legal purposes for which it was stored and will be deleted after the applicable retention period has expired.

When you are actively using our website (using the contact form), we may also store your personal data for a longer period of time in case we need to defend ourselves against potential legal claims. In this case, we will retain your personal data until the limitation period for any legal claims arising from the relationship with you has expired, which is usually between 12 and 36 months.

With regard to cookies, you have the option to delete them at any time by using the relevant features of your browser.
