This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit brinning.net (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy applies to information you submit to brinning.net and to information collected through the Site.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, certain information may be collected automatically, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, pages viewed, referring websites or search terms, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information through server log files and analytics tools used on the Site.

Google Analytics 4 may use first-party cookies and similar technologies to distinguish users and sessions and to help us analyse how visitors use the Site. According to Google, Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses.

We also use Rybbit.io, a privacy-friendly analytics service, to help us understand how visitors use the Site and improve the Site. According to the provider, Rybbit operates without cookies or local storage.

Additionally, when you voluntarily provide us with personal information through our contact form, we collect that information from you, including your first and last name, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Voluntarily Submitted Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about both Device Information and Voluntarily Submitted Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use your Voluntarily Submitted Information to:
- respond to enquiries you have made through the Site;
- communicate with you;
- provide you with information relating to our services.

We use Device Information to help detect potential misuse of the Site, maintain its security, and better understand how visitors use the Site. We also use this information to improve and optimise the Site, for example by analysing which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the Site, and how the Site performs overall.

Google Analytics 4 helps us analyse traffic and usage patterns on the Site. Rybbit.io helps us understand page views, referrers, technical usage patterns, and general site performance.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We share Personal Information with third-party service providers only where necessary to operate the Site, communicate with you, and analyse Site usage.

For analytics, we currently use Google Analytics 4 to help us understand how visitors use the Site. You can read more about how Google handles data in Google’s privacy information and Google Analytics help documentation at https://support.google.com/analytics/.

We also use Rybbit.io, a privacy-friendly analytics service. You can read more in Rybbit’s Privacy Policy. Rybbit's policy can be found at https://rybbit.com/privacy.

We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your Personal Information for a specific purpose.

Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your Personal Information to fulfil the terms of our contract.

We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to perform that work. Examples may include hosting services, analytics services, email delivery, customer service, and related operational support.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

DO NOT TRACK BEHAVIOUR

Please note that there is no consistent industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” browser signals.

DATA RETENTION

When you contact us through the Site, we will maintain your Voluntarily Submitted Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is otherwise required by law, such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, it will be deleted or anonymised, unless we are required to retain it by law.

MINORS

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

CHANGES

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

EUROPEAN UNION

If you are located in the EU, you have the right to request access to, correction of, restriction of, or deletion of your personal data where applicable. If you have given consent to data processing, you may revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future.

DATA PROTECTION

You are advised that the transmission of data via the Internet, for example through e-mail communications, may be prone to security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

SSL AND/OR TLS ENCRYPTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you submit to us through the Site, this Site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether the URL field of your browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and by the appearance of a lock icon in the browser address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
