This is the Privacy Statement and Policy (“Privacy Policy”) for WUC Technologies LLC (“WUC Technologies”, “us”, “we”). At WUC Technologies, we are fully committed to the privacy of the users of our website. That’s why we have drafted this Privacy Policy – so you can understand how seriously we take your privacy and the protection of your personal data. By reading this Policy, you will be able to understand how we handle the personal data we may collect when you use our website, and make informed choices about how we may process your personal data – in particular, reading this Policy will allow you to provide your consent in an informed manner, where this is needed.
All personal data we collect on the users of our website is handled in a lawful, fair and transparent manner. We follow internationally recognized principles on this, such as the principles of purpose limitation, storage limitation, data minimization, data quality, and confidentiality.
We are a data controller of all personal data that is collected and processed through our website.
For any questions related to this Privacy Policy, please contact: 1800-541-8982 ext 5 or send email to legal@wuctechnologies.com.
When you visit our website, we collect and process some personal data related to you, both when you decide to actively provide it to us (such as when you sign up to subscribe to our newsletter), and by analyzing your behavior on the website.
Name, contact details and other Personal Data
In various sections of our website (such as when you request a quote), we require you to send us some of your personal data, such as your name, phone / mobile number, e-mail address and other identifying information.
When you participate in our promotions and forums, as well as when you communicate with us using our provided contact details on the website, we may also collect additional personal data of yours, if you choose to provide it to us.
Special categories of personal data
Our website includes free text fields so you can send us messages, as well as sections where you can post various types of content. You might include (whether on purpose or not) some of your own personal data within those messages or posts, including special categories of personal data.
We ask you to not disclose any personal data in the messages that you send to us or in any posts you make (particularly special categories of personal data), unless you feel that this is strictly necessary. If you decide to do so, we will collect and process those personal data only where we believe we are legally allowed to do so, in order to address your message or post.
Just as we explained above, the free text fields on our website can be used to send us messages or post various types of content. You might also include (whether on purpose or not) personal data related to other persons within those messages and posts.
If you disclose personal data of other people to us through our website, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding those personal data. This means you will be held fully responsible for ensuring that you are allowed to disclose those personal data to us (for example, because the other people have agreed to this, or because you are legally required to do so). If you are not allowed to disclose those personal data to us, then you may be required to compensate us in full for any damages or costs we suffer because of this – for instance, as a result of complaints brought against us, or lawsuits filed against us.
Browsing data
Our website uses computer systems and software procedures that collect browsing data about users of the website, which includes your IP address, location, and more. We don’t collect this information to link it to specific users (though it is possible to identify specific users, using browsing data alone or by matching browsing data with other information we have). These browsing data are used to compile statistical information on the use of our website, make sure it works properly, and make sure that our website is not abused.
