This Privacy Policy concerns syscor websites and all products and services that collect personal data or are linked to this Privacy Policy.

3. **What data do we process, and what is the purpose and the legal basis of processing the personal data?**
Data subjects are the customers, potential customers, and stakeholders of Systems Trading Corporation T/A syscor.
We receive information primarily from the following sources: yourself, population register, authorities, credit information companies, contact information service providers, and other similar reliable sources. We also collect information when our services or websites are used. More information on how we use cookies can be found in Section 7 below.
For the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, personal data may also be collected and updated from publicly available sources and based on information received from authorities or other third parties within the limits of applicable laws and regulations.
5. **To whom do we disclose data, and do we transfer data outside of EU, EEA,
We may disclose data from this customer, supplier, and marketing register to our cooperation partners who do marketing and arrange campaigns and events with and on behalf of us, and who consider themselves as controllers instead of processors working on our behalf (these parties include social media operators and advertisement networks). Otherwise, we do not disclose data from the register to external parties unless required by legislation or an order by the authorities.
We utilize subcontractors that process personal data on behalf of and for us. We have outsourced our IT management and the maintenance of our customer and marketing systems to outside service providers on whose administered and protected servers the personal data is stored.
We transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA in connection with the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. When personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we ensure that the personal data is transferred in accordance with applicable law, for example, by using the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards as described in Article 46 of the GDPR.
6. **How do we protect the data, and how long do we store them?**
Only those of our employees who, on behalf of their work, are entitled to process customer data are entitled to use the system containing personal data. Each user has a personal username and password to the system. The data is collected into databases that are protected by firewalls, passwords, and other technical measures. The databases and their backup copies are in locked premises and can be accessed only by certain pre-designated persons.
We store the data as long as it is necessary for the purpose of processing the data. Personal data in the Customer, Stakeholder, and Marketing register is erased after the claim period related to a specific customer, stakeholder, or service relationship has elapsed. This period is typically ten (10) years.
We regularly estimate the need for data storage, taking into account the applicable legislation. In addition, we take care of such reasonable actions that ensure no incompatible, outdated, or inaccurate personal data is stored in the register, taking into account the purpose of the processing. We correct or erase such data without delay.
7. **How do we use cookies on our website?**
Our websites and social media channels use cookies and other similar technologies for managing and developing the website, improving and analyzing the user experience, and targeting advertisements in our and our partners’ services. Cookies allow us to collect information such as from which websites users arrive on the pages, which pages are browsed and when, which browser is used, and the IP address of the device.

You also have the right to withdraw your consent where we process your data based on your consent.
