Please read carefully

The privacy of our visitors and users is very important to us. To this end, this privacy policy describes how WinGe AB together with its affiliates worldwide, collects, uses and discloses your personal information and an explanation of the data rights you may have in relation to that personal information. This privacy policy applies to all users of the website, including unregistered visitors, registered users and premium users, and to all services we offer. This Privacy Policy is not intended to override the terms of any contract you may have with us or any rights you may have under other applicable data protection laws.

​

Before accessing or using our Services, please read this policy and make sure you fully understand our practices. If you have read and fully understand this Privacy Policy and you continue to object to our practices, you must immediately discontinue using our Services and cease all use.

Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. Exceptions to this are cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

​

 

Legal basis for processing personal data

If we obtain the consent of a data subject for the processing of personal data, the legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis for the processing of personal data that must be processed in order to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

​

Regardless of the measures and efforts taken to ensure your security, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of your personal information. Therefore, we recommend that you do not provide us or others with any sensitive personal information that you believe could cause you significant or irreparable harm. Because certain areas of our Services are less secure than others, e.g. if you navigate to a non-SSL page or if you use email and instant messaging, which are not recognized as secure forms of communication, we ask and encourage you not to share any personal information in any of these areas.

​
