Contact.
We deal with queries from people who contact us by e-mail, through the contact forms on the website or by telephone. We process these data with the consent of the person who has contacted us. These people’s data are not kept unless a service provision relationship is established.
Services to customers.
We record the identification details of customers and they provide us with additional data (mainly employment, economic and financial data) that are necessary to offer the services requested.

Such processing is carried out for the performance of a contract (art. 6.1(b) GDPR) and compliance with legal obligations (art. 6.1(c) GDPR).
Managing our suppliers’ data.
We process the contact details and tax data of suppliers (natural persons) from whom we obtain goods or services. We only process the necessary data to maintain the commercial relationship and use such data only for that purpose within the context of performance of a contract and compliance with legal obligations.
Information about products and services.
Always with the customer’s authorisation, their contact details are used to send information related to our services. We process these data based on the consent of the person who receives the communications (art. 6.1(a) GDPR).

On some occasions, they have to process personal data that the office controls.
