What is Personal Information?

Personal information refers to information that identifies or relates specifically to you, for example, your name, age, and identity number. In short, any information that we know about you will be regarded as your personal information.

How We Collect Your Personal Information

We collect your personal information via our registration process on our website or WhatsApp. We may also ask you for further information via email or telephonically.

Why We Collect This Information

In order to make your experience as successful and pleasurable as possible, it is necessary for us to find out exactly what you need and want from us. The following are reasons why we would collect your personal information:

• To identify you;
• In order for us to process your instructions or requests;
• To ensure that we meet your needs, we may collect and analyze your personal information and combine all the information that we have about you to compile a profile to personalize and tailor our services to meet your specific needs;
• Once we have collected and analyzed your personal information, we may send you promotional material or details that we think may be of interest to you. If any of this promotional information relates to products, promotions, news, or services of an affiliate party, and if you indicate that you would like more details, we may inform the affiliate party to contact you directly, provided you have agreed to this.

Your privacy is important to us. We will therefore not sell, rent, or provide your personal information to unauthorized entities or third parties for their independent use, without your consent.

If at any stage, after you have given us your consent, you no longer wish us to use or share your personal information with an affiliate party, you may withdraw your consent.
