• Contact data

  In order to make contacting you possible, the Website enables collection of certain personal data: name and surname, your e-mail address. Aside from your personal data, Afrivest also collects basic statistic data, e.g. location. Afrivest is the controller of your personal data and takes appropriate steps to ensure security of your data.

• Registration data

  Afrivest also collects your personal data during the registration process, through the form available at https://afrivest.app. At registration, we request that you provide us with the following personal data: first name and e-mail.

• Other data collected by us through the registration form, which may constitute personal data, are collected and processed on behalf of acquirers, who act as data controllers and entrust us with the processing of personal data for purpose of concluding agreement between you and the acquirers. In such cases, we act as data processors.

• As data controller, we process your data for the purpose of providing our services to you and for general marketing purposes: (i) responding to your query; (ii) sending you tailored offers; and (iii) sending you marketing e-mails and contacting you telephonically, provided that you consented to such forms of communication. Together with marketing information and offers regarding Afrivest products and services, we may at times approach you with information on compatible products and services, which are offered together with ours.

• In processing your data, we pursue our legitimate interest in responding to your query, concluding contract with the entity you represent and direct marketing of our services (the legal basis for processing of your data).

• Provision of your personal data is voluntary, but if you choose not to provide us with your basic contact information, we may not be able to respond to your query or provide services to the entity you represent.

• Where we act as data controller, you have the right to object to the processing of your data by us and to request that we correct or delete your data. If you file such a request we will stop processing your data and delete it, unless there exists an important overriding legal interest (e.g. defense of claims or existence of a legal obligation to retain the data) which will entitle us to keep your data for a longer period. You also have the right of access to your data, as well as the right to data portability and to restriction of processing.

• We process your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes, for which it was collected. In establishing the retention period for your personal data, we take into account, among others, the following criteria: (i) whether you express continuous interest in our services, (ii) if you have become our customer/the entity you represent entered into a contract with us, (iii) if you told us during the call or in a message that you would like us to contact you in the future.

• We entrust the processing of your personal data to entities, which act on our behalf and solely based on our instructions (data processors).

• We may have to share your personal data with competent authorities (in particular the police or prosecution service), if they approach us with such a request, provided that there exists an appropriate legal basis for making your personal data available to them (e.g. a court order).

• If you have any questions with regard to the processing of your data by us or if you wish to exercise your rights, you can contact our data protection contact@Afrivest.com. You also have the right to file a complaint to data protection authority
