LOG FILES, PIXELS
Log Files track actions occurring on our websites or emails and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Sofia Technologies use HubSpot to send newsletters and track emails. By adding some parameters to the URLs of the links used in emails, we know when a member clicks. And by placing a 1×1 pixel at the end of each message, we know if a member opened the message.

WHO CAN ACCESS YOUR DATA?
Sofia Technologies will never pass on, sell or swap your data for marketing purposes to third parties outside our organization. Data that is forwarded to third parties is used solely to provide you with services such as relevant Sofia Technologies’ partners.
We may use third-party cookies such as Google Analytics to compile and store anonymous statistics about browsing patterns or site behavior and build a demographic profile. This data is collected along with other visitor data to form a collective analytics report.
It is important to note that this data is not personally identifiable and is used only for reporting/statistical purposes.
All third parties with which we share this information are required to use your personal information in a manner consistent with this policy.
Sofia Technologies can be bound to share information with legal authorities or local and global law enforcement agencies to complete investigations. Please be aware that such recipients will have an independent right or obligation to process your personal data.
HOW LONG DO WE SAVE YOUR DATA?
We will keep your data for direct marketing purposes until you withdraw your consent.
SAFEGUARDING YOUR INFORMATION
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and nature of the personal information.
E-mails are stored in Microsoft data centers. Other personal data may be transferred to our CRM and ERP system or other systems on our own servers or selected trusted data centers. Data is protected by appropriate organizational and technical security measures such as anti-virus software, firewalls and encryption to avoid unauthorized access.
what about sofia-networks?
We have taken reasonable measures to ensure deletion or anonymity of your personal data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and subsequently processed.

WHERE DO WE STORE YOUR DATA?
The data that we collect from you is stored within the European Economic Area (“EEA”). However, it may also be transferred to and processed in a country outside of the EEA. Any such transfer of your personal data will be carried out in compliance with applicable laws.
Some of our offices are located outside of the EEA, so your information may be transferred to, stored or processed in a country outside the EEA. While the data protection, privacy and other laws of countries outside the EEA might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, we take many steps to protect your privacy. By using our website forms and accepting cookies, you understand and consent to the collection, storage, processing and transfer of your information to our facilities outside the EEA and those third parties with whom we share data as described in this policy.
