Such information may include (by way of non-exhaustive list):

Please note that our website does not respond to browser Do Not Track signals or other similar instructions.

Your Personal Information may be stored and processed by Baves in any of the following ways and for the following purposes:

• for the administration and maintenance of databases storing Personal Information.

When we use Personal Information, we make sure that the usage complies with law, and the law allows us and requires us to use Personal Information for a variety of reasons. These include:

• we need to do so in order to perform our contractual obligations under the Terms of Use;
• we have obtained your consent;
• we have legal and regulatory obligations that we have to discharge;
• we may need to do so in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights or for the purpose of legal proceedings; and
• the use of your Personal Information as described is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as:
  • allowing us to effectively and efficiently manage and administer the operation of our business;
  • maintaining compliance with internal policies and procedures;
  • monitoring the use of our copyrighted materials; and
  • offering optimal, up-to-date security solutions for mobile devices and IT systems.

Baves shares Personal Information among its affiliates and business units when it believes that it will enhance the services it provides, but only in circumstances where such sharing conforms to law, any applicable confidentiality agreements, and Baves policies and practices. In addition, Baves may disclose your Personal Information in the circumstances outlined below:

• with third party agents, service providers and contractors for the purposes of providing services to us (for example, service providers who design, maintain or host the Website or any entity we reasonably consider necessary for the purposes outlined above). These third parties will be subject to confidentiality requirements (either by contract, professional obligation or otherwise) and they will only use your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy;
• to the extent required by law (for example, if Baves is compelled by an obligation or a duty to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation, including (without limitation) in order to investigate unauthorized attempts to modify the Website, install harmful files or cause damage to the Website or Baves), or to establish, exercise or defend its legal rights;

Where EU data protection laws apply, the provisions in this section will apply in addition to the general provisions set out above.

Pursuant to EU data protection laws BAVES CONTRACTOR Sh.p.k is the controller of your Personal Information collected and processed via the Website.

For how long Baves will hold your Personal Information will vary and will be determined by the following criteria:

• The purpose for which Baves is using it: Baves is required to retain the Personal Information for as long as is necessary to satisfy or meet the purpose for which it was obtained or any other legal purpose.
• Legal Obligations: Laws or regulations may set a minimum period for which Baves must retain your Personal Information.

Where we transfer your Personal Information to another country outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements. In relation to data being transferred outside of Europe, for example, this may be done in one of the following ways:

• the country that we send the data to might be approved by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of protection for Personal Information;
• the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your Personal Information;
• where the recipient is located in the US, it might be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme; or
• in other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your Personal Information outside Europe.

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your Personal Information when it is transferred outside Europe (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your Personal Information) by contacting us using the details below.

In all the above cases in which we collect, use or store your Personal Information, you may have the following rights, and, in most cases, you can exercise them free of charge. These rights include:

• the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your Personal Information and access to the Personal Information which we hold about you;
• the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Information at any time. Please note, however, that we may still be entitled to process your Personal Information if we have another legitimate reason for doing so. For example, we may need to retain Personal Information to comply with a legal obligation;
• in some circumstances, the right to receive some Personal Information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit those data to a third party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to Personal Information which you have provided directly to Baves;
• the right to request that we rectify your Personal Information if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
• the right to request that we erase your Personal Information in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your Personal Information but we are legally entitled to retain it;
• the right to object to, or request that we restrict, our processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of your Personal Information but we are legally entitled to refuse that request; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection regulator if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.
