The data controller under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR“) is Valuart (the “Privacy Policy”).

Valuart has prepared this Privacy Policy to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data we collect from users of our website and our HADEM App (the “Platforms”) and online services (collectively, the “Service”).

1. Personal Data Which is Processed

    • E-mail address and username.

    • Name and surname

    • Information about disputes/complaints.

Further data which may be processed through technological tools:

    • Log files: IP addresses, browser type, type of device, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

    • Pixel Tag: we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are very small graphic images with a unique identifier that are used to track online movements of Web users. Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users’ Personal Data.

    • Analytics Services. In addition to the tracking technologies we place, other companies may set their own cookies or similar tools when you visit our service. This includes third party analytics services, that we engage to help analyze how users use the Service. The information received from Analytics services is solely used to improve our Service. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our Service (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. By using our Service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services, please contact us at the address given above.
