Introduction

Welcome to the EmerPoll project!

The EmerPoll team ("us", "we", or "our") operates the emerpoll.com website and related services (the "Service"). The Service might be operated also under other emerpoll.* top level domains (TLDs) such as emerpoll.eu or any of such domains' subdomains (i.e. silvanus.emerpoll.com, silvanus.emerpoll.eu or other where the subdomain might be an arbitrary name or abbreviation).

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data.

Data Collection and Processing

We might collect several different types of information for various purposes, such as:

Personal Data: While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

• E-mail address
• First name and last name
• Phone number
• Address, State, Province, ZIP/Postal code, City

Usage Data: We collect usage data to understand how our Service is accessed and used. This information helps us to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements around the site, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The usage data we collect may include:

• The Internet Protocol (IP) address of your device
• Browser type and version
• The pages of our Service that you visit
• The time and date of your visit
• The time spent on those pages
• Unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data

We may also use third-party services such as Google Analytics to collect, monitor, and analyze this type of information in order to improve our Service's functionality and user experience. These third-party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with small amounts of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

We may use session cookies for the operation of our Service and preference cookies to remember your preferences and various settings. We may use security cookies for security purposes, such as to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of login credentials, and protect user data from unauthorized access.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service to you. By using our Service, you consent to the processing of data about you by us and by third-party services as outlined above.

Consent Mechanism

By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and give explicit consent for the processing of your data.

Ensuring the protection of your privacy rights is paramount to us. Therefore, we operate under the principles of transparency and user control, particularly regarding the collection, processing, and use of your personal data. Our Service utilizes a robust consent mechanism to obtain explicit consent from users before collecting or processing any personal information, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.

User Rights and Control

You have the right to access, rectify, and erase your data. For any requests or concerns, contact our Data Protection Officer at (e-mail).

Data Security Measures

We take the security of your personal data very seriously. We have implemented a comprehensive set of technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our commitment to data security is in compliance with industry best practices and relevant data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

• Encryption and Secure Transmission: We utilize encryption technologies, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS), to ensure that data transmitted between your device and our servers remains secure and confidential. This encryption protocol encrypts data during transit, preventing unauthorized interception or eavesdropping.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal data is strictly controlled and limited to authorized personnel who have a legitimate need to access such information for the purposes of performing their job duties. Access controls are enforced through the use of strong authentication mechanisms, role-based access controls (RBAC), and regular monitoring of access logs.
• Data Minimization: We adhere to the principle of data minimization, which means that we only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. We do not store personal data for longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was originally collected, unless required by law or with your explicit consent.
• Regular Security Audits and Assessments: We conduct regular security audits and assessments of our systems, networks, and processes to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities or security weaknesses. These audits are performed by independent third-party security experts to ensure impartiality and rigor in our security practices.
• Employee Training and Awareness: We provide comprehensive training and awareness programs to our employees to educate them about the importance of data security and privacy. Our employees are trained on security best practices, data handling procedures, and their responsibilities in safeguarding personal data.
• Incident Response and Breach Notification: Despite our best efforts, security incidents may still occur. In the event of a data breach or security incident, we have established incident response procedures to promptly detect, respond to, and mitigate the impact of such incidents. We are committed to notifying affected individuals and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
• Third-Party Security: We carefully evaluate the security practices and capabilities of third-party service providers before engaging their services. We require third-party providers to implement appropriate security measures to protect any personal data they may process on our behalf.

By implementing these robust data security measures, we strive to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal data, and to earn your trust in our commitment to protecting your privacy.
