When you contact us through the website, by email, telephone or another communication channel, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry.

When you become our customer or participate in a project involving one of our companies, we may process personal data necessary for:

Where a third party processes personal data on our behalf, we take appropriate measures to ensure that the processing complies with applicable data protection requirements.

8. International Transfers

Our operations may involve processing or transferring personal data between Estonia and Iceland.
Estonia and Iceland are both part of the European Economic Area (EEA), and transfers of personal data between these countries therefore take place within the EEA.
If we use service providers that process personal data outside the EEA, we ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism and safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection legislation.

9. Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.
The applicable retention period depends on the nature of the information and may be determined by:
  • the duration of the customer or contractual relationship;
  • the duration and nature of the relevant project;
  • applicable warranty or liability periods;
  • statutory accounting and taxation requirements;
  • limitation periods for potential legal claims;
  • our legitimate need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Once personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted, anonymised or otherwise securely disposed of unless continued retention is required by law.

10. Cookies and Website Technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for its proper and secure operation.
Where analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies are used, they will be processed in accordance with applicable legal requirements and, where required, only after obtaining the visitor’s consent.

More detailed information about cookies may be provided through a separate cookie notice or cookie settings interface on the website.

Where marketing communication is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
You may also object to receiving direct marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.

12. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, unlawful processing, accidental loss, alteration, destruction or disclosure.
Access to personal data is limited to employees, contractors and service providers who require access for legitimate business purposes.
