7. Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the website’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We collect a number of cookies from our users for various reasons, not least to track our own performance, but also to let us serve you content tailored to your own specifications, hopefully improving your overall experience of the website. Amongst other things, the cookies we use allow users to register to make comments, allow us to calculate how many visitors we have and how long they stay on our website.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

If you turn cookies off, some of the features that make your website experience more efficient may not function properly. We believe that your experience of the website would be adversely affected if you opted out of the cookies we use.

8. Securing personal information

We are committed to ensuring the security of client personal information in order to protect it from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal or similar risks. For this reason, it is also important that you also use safe passwords, without sharing them with other people and that you update them regularly. This is why:

• We only provide articles and information. We never ask for credit card numbers.
• We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for secure transmission of all your sensitive/credit information.
• We use appropriate encryption of stored data
• We use regular Malware Scanning.
• Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.
• We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

If you have any concerns regarding our security, please contact us at info@ansvery.com.

Should Ansvery experience a data breach and your information be involved, we will contact you if there is a risk of your data being misused and if we are legally obliged to do so. In some instances Ansvery will also be legally obliged to contact (data protection) authorities when a breach of private information occurs.

9. Data transfers, storage, and processing globally

Ansvery operates around the world and may transfer your Personal Data to other offices or third-party locations around the world, which may be outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for the purposes that have been set out in this Privacy Policy. In some countries outside the EEA, data protection laws may provide lower safeguards than those in the EEA, which is why we take specific additional measures to keep this Personal Data safe as determined by GDPR, such as transferring to countries that have deemed adequate by the European Union or using standard contractual clauses (as approved by the European Commission).

10. Changes to this privacy policy

Ansvery may periodically update this Privacy Policy without prior notice to reflect changes in our practices. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Ansvery website. Your use of the Ansvery website or your provision of Personal Data to us following these changes means you acknowledge you have read and accept the revised Privacy Policy.
