GIZE PLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website and the clients, partners, and contacts we work with. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have under applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Information you provide directly: We collect information you provide to us — for example, when you fill out our contact form, request a consultation, or email us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company, and the nature of your enquiry.
Information collected automatically (anonymous): We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool called Umami to collect aggregate, anonymized usage data — such as page views, approximate geographic region (country level), device type, and referring website. Umami is cookieless, does not store identifiable IP addresses, and does not track individuals across sessions or other websites. This data is used solely in aggregate to understand how the website is used and to improve it.
Under the GDPR, we process personal information you provide (such as contact form submissions) on the basis of:
For anonymous analytics data collected via Umami, no personal data is processed (IP addresses are not stored in identifiable form, and no cookies are set), so the GDPR does not apply to this data. If you have enabled “Do Not Track” in your browser, Umami respects this signal by default.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us operate our business (such as the hosting provider for this website and the third-party service that forwards contact form submissions to our email), only to the extent necessary, and under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law. Anonymous analytics data collected via Umami is processed by Umami’s cloud service under their privacy policy, but contains no personal data.
Your information may be processed in countries outside your country of residence, including Ethiopia and the European Union. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, or the recipient is subject to an adequacy decision. Anonymous analytics data is not personal data and is not subject to transfer restrictions.
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Contact form submissions are retained for a period of up to 24 months, after which they are deleted unless an ongoing business relationship exists. Anonymous analytics data is aggregated and retained indefinitely, but cannot be linked back to you.
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at gize@gizeplc.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact us at gize@gizeplc.com or via our contact page.
