Server Log files
Our Internet Service Provider collects and stores the following information each time you visit this website: Web browser; operating system used; website from which you visit us (referrer URL); website visited; requesting provider; date and time of access; amount of data transmitted and IP address (Internet Protocol). These so-called server log files are only used for internal and system related statistical purposes. Nevertheless, we reserve the right to check this log data afterwards if there is a concrete suspicion of unlawful use of our website.
Contact us
If you contact us, for example via our contact form, by e-mail or by telephone, the personal data that you voluntarily provide to us will be collected and stored by us for the purpose of processing your request and for the execution and processing of the agreements concluded with you. We only use the data that you voluntarily provide to us. A comparison with other data determined by us as well as a transfer to third parties does not take place.
The personal data will be deleted, unless this is necessary and there are no legal storage obligations. If you do not provide us with all the information we need to assess your request, we will not be able to process it.
Special and/or sensitive personal data
DuraCert does not process any special and/or sensitive personal data. Our website and/or service does not have the intention to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years of age. Unless they have permission from parents or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is over 16 years old. We therefore recommend that parents are involved in their children's online activities in order to prevent data from being collected about children without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal information about a minor without that consent, please contact us at info@duracert.com and we will delete that information.

To ensure that the request for inspection has been made by you, please enclose a copy of your identity document with the request. We ask you to blacken your passport photo and identity number in this copy. This is to protect your privacy. DuraCert will respond to your request as soon as possible, but within four weeks.
Security
