What kind of information we collect from you and how it is used

apexscientific.org collects personal data from its users in three ways:

  • directly from the user
  • traffic data from the user’s browser
  • via cookies.

Personal data collected directly

When you access apexscientific.org or create an account or fill out a form, we may request your first and last name and/or email address, along with other necessary contact information.

When accessing support/advisory services, we may request an email address or phone number. We reserve the right to record any communication made for apexscientific.org support services to improve our services. You will be informed before the communication starts that it may be recorded. This data is used, for example, to contact you regarding a complaint/request. Other data that may constitute personal data may also be requested, only to the extent necessary for these purposes. This data is stored until consent is withdrawn.

Also, when you subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for your email address, a name, and other information necessary to personalize our communication with you. This data is stored until consent is withdrawn or until your activity indicates disinterest. Your personal data for the newsletter is also shared with NewsMAN, which acts as a processor for ASOCIATIA INFORMART providing newsletter delivery service.

All processors we work with are located in the European Union, and those in the United States have signed Standard Contractual Clauses with us, including additional data protection clauses.

According to GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or delete personal data or to restrict processing or to data portability. You also have the right to object to processing. For data collected based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, you can send a request via email to contact@apexscientific.org. You also have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority or bring legal action.

We use visitor profiling systems on the apexscientific.org website to provide personalized commercial communications and offers via the website, push notifications, email, or SMS, as applicable.

Information from traffic monitoring reports

When visiting a website, you disclose certain information about yourself, such as your IP address, visit time, the location you accessed our site from, device information (such as hardware model, operating system version, browser used, etc.). ASOCIATIA INFORMART, like other operators, records this information to improve the user experience and the quality of services offered.

Any statistics on our user traffic provided to partners or third-party advertising networks are supplied only as aggregate data and do not include any personally identifiable information about any individual user.

Information obtained through cookies

apexscientific.org may use cookies to store and track your preferences, optimize the website (including customization), or for marketing purposes. More details are available on the Cookie Use Policy page.

How we protect the information we collect from you

ASOCIATIA INFORMART does not disclose collected information (via website, email, or phone) to third parties without your express prior consent.

Your access to certain services and information (including personal data) on the site is protected by a username and password. We recommend not disclosing these credentials to anyone. apexscientific.org will never request your passwords via unsolicited messages or calls.

When using a public computer, remember to log out of your account at the end of each session and close the browser window.

These tips are intended to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information when working in a public network environment (such as internet cafes).

Also, be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online (via email, forums, discussion groups, chat services, etc.), your information can be easily collected and used by unauthorized persons. While apexscientific.org does its best to protect your personal information, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account-related information (passwords, usernames, etc.).

We guarantee, however, that we will make every effort to ensure the security of your personal data in our systems, according to the security standards imposed by Romanian legislation in force.

We make efforts to protect apexscientific.org and our users from unauthorized access or alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the information we hold. In particular:

  • We offer secure access to personal data
  • We review our data collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to protect against unauthorized access to systems
  • We restrict access to personal data only to ASOCIATIA INFORMART employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it on our behalf and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be sanctioned or dismissed if they fail to meet these obligations.

Nevertheless, no security system is completely impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the impenetrability of our security services or that the information you transmit will not be intercepted when disclosed.

Who has access to the information collected from you

Sharing personal data with third parties under the above-mentioned conditions implies your acceptance that those recipients may have separate privacy and data collection practices. ASOCIATIA INFORMART has no control over and cannot guarantee all legal implications of using such independent privacy practices.

We will also share personal data with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of ASOCIATIA INFORMART if we believe in good faith that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.
  • Enforce applicable Terms and Conditions, including investigation of potential violations.
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.
  • Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of ASOCIATIA INFORMART, our users, or the public, as required or permitted by law.

What are your rights?

If you believe that any personal data we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request to view that information, rectify it, or request its deletion, restrict processing, or object to processing, and you also have the right to data portability. To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@apexscientific.org.

If you want to file a complaint about how we have handled your personal data, please contact the Data Protection Officer at the following email: contact@apexscientific.org. The Data Protection Officer will then contact you to resolve the issue.

You may also contact the National Authority for the Supervision of Personal Data Processing at www.dataprotection.ro and file a complaint with them.

Changes

Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Your rights under this Privacy Policy will not be diminished without your explicit consent. Any changes to the Privacy Policy will be posted on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, an email notification regarding the Privacy Policy changes).
