ARONETICS WEBSITE PRIVACY AND INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY

In order to ensure transparency and give you more control over your personal information, this Privacy Policy notice describes how Aronetics LLC (collectively with its affiliates, “Aronetics” “we“, “our” or “us“) handles and protects the information it collects or receives from the users (“users” or “you“) such as in the following use cases:

  3. (iii) When you attend a marketing event and provide us with your personal data

We greatly respect your privacy, which is why we make every effort to provide a platform that would live up to the highest of user privacy standards. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, so you can fully understand our practices in relation to personal data. “Personal data” or “personal information” means any information that can be used, alone or together with other data, to uniquely identify any living human being. Please note that this is a master privacy policy and some of its provisions only apply to individuals in certain jurisdictions. For example, the legal basis in the table below is only relevant for GDPR-protected individuals.

In short, Aronetics privacy policy is Euro-centric – Aronetics LLC does nothing with your personal protected information (PPI).

Important note: Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit in any way your statutory right to privacy, including your rights to a remedy or means of enforcement.

2. HOW WE PROTECT AND RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Security. Aronetics implemented appropriate technical information security systems and procedures to secure your Personal Information which you may upload to our website, for example in connection with using our Website in any manner. Tools used may be closed or open-source and at computer discretion, may stop any infringement or further action.

While such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, they do not provide absolute security. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our systems will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions, or unauthorized access to the information stored in them and to other information security risks. As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer, device, or network you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your user IDs and passwords, please make sure to take appropriate measures to protect this information.
