SKIL PRIVACY AND COOKIE POLICY

At SKIL we appreciate your interest in our products and your visit to this website.

 

SKIL respects your privacy

 The protection of your privacy in the processing of your personal data is an important concern to which we pay special attention during our business processes. Data protection and information security are part of our company policy, and we always process personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

Collection and processing of personal data

When you visit our website, our web server automatically records the name of your internet service provider, your IP address, the website from which you visit us, the page on our website which you currently visit, and the date and length of your visit. Our website logs may be used for the purposes of troubleshooting and protecting the availability, integrity and security of our website.

Your visit to our website will not cause us to process your name or contact information, unless you choose to submit such information to us, for example via our contact form.

 

Use and disclosure of personal data and purpose specification

SKIL will use your personal data for the sole purpose of technical administration of the websites, customer administration, product surveys and marketing, only to the extent necessary in each specific case. The legal ground for the processing of your personal data will depend on the circumstances. In many cases we process your data based on your consent. For example when you provide your data to us for a specific purpose, such as subscribing to a newsletter, or if you request us to contact you. If you have entered into an agreement with us, or wish to do so, we may process your data to prepare or perform the agreement. In some special cases, we may process your data for the legitimate interests of others or ourselves, for example if our website is attacked, or otherwise abused.


If necessary, your personal information may be disclosed to suppliers contracted by us to help us with those activities. Any supplier who needs to process your data, is required to contractually agree to process your data only if this is necessary to provide their service to us, and to take appropriate security measures to keep your data safe.

We do not provide any personal data about you to any third party in any other circumstances, except if you explicitly consent to this, or if we would be legally obliged to do so.

 

Security

SKIL uses appropriate security measures in order to protect the data we have under our control against manipulation, loss, destruction, access by unauthorized persons or against unauthorized disclosure. Our security procedures are continually enhanced as new technology becomes available.
