Data Protection:

Our organization is dedicated to adhering to data protection laws, ensuring the security and confidentiality of any personal information we possess. Here are the principles we follow:

• We use personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
• Data is collected solely for legitimate purposes explicitly communicated to you.
• Data is used only for the specified legal purposes for which it was obtained.
• Data is kept accurate and regularly updated.
• Data is securely stored.

Types of Information Collected:

As an individual, your data encompasses any information that can be used to identify you. Anonymous data that doesn't reveal your identity is excluded. Sensitive personal data requires heightened protection. We may collect, store, and utilize personal information such as your name, title, addresses, phone numbers, personal email addresses, date of birth, gender, marital status, next of kin and emergency contact details, National Insurance or TAX ID number/PESAL, bank account information, payroll records, tax status details, driver's license, and information regarding your use of our information and communication systems.

How Your Private Information is Gathered:

We acquire personal information through various means, including landing pages, websites, and registration processes.

Landing Page Terms:

We offer free counseling services through our landing pages and websites.

How Your Information Will Be Used:

We will only use your personal information when legally permitted. Typically, we utilize it in the following scenarios:

1. When necessary to fulfill our contract with you.
2. When compliance with a legal requirement is mandated.
3. When our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) do not override your interests and fundamental rights, which need protection.
4. When you have expressly granted us permission to do so.

Additionally, though uncommon, we may use your private information in the following circumstances:

• When essential to safeguard your (or another person's) interests.
• When government authorities require information, or for official purposes, the public good, or both.

As a registered member, you will receive important updates and notifications via WhatsApp.

We may employ your personal information in these situations:

All data categories listed above are essential for fulfilling our agreement with you and complying with the law. On occasion, we may use your personal information to serve our or third parties' legitimate interests.

• Accounting and auditing, as well as business management and planning.
• Resolving complaints.
• Preparing for contract termination.
• Resolving legal disputes.
• Meeting health and safety obligations.
• Preventing fraud.
• Monitoring your use of our information and communication systems to ensure compliance with the law and our global IT policy.

• Conducting data analytics reviews to thoroughly understand customer needs and satisfaction.

The grounds for processing mentioned above may overlap in some cases. There might be instances where providing certain information is necessary to fulfill our contract with you, and failure to do so could impede our ability to meet legal obligations (e.g., ensuring health and safety or providing proof of citizenship).

Change of Purposes:

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with the original one. If we need to use your data for a different reason, we will inform you and provide the legal justification. Please note that, when required or permitted by law, we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, following the aforementioned guidelines.

How We Utilize Highly Sensitive Personal Data:

Exceptional care is essential when dealing with "special categories" of particularly sensitive personal information. Additional justification is required for collecting, storing, and utilizing this kind of personal data. We may process specific categories of personal information under the following circumstances:

• Only with your express written consent and under specific conditions.
• When fulfilling our legal obligations.
• In the public interest, such as responding to requests from government authorities or the police. Less frequently, we may process this type of information when necessary for legal claims, defense against legal actions, protection of your interests (or another person's), your inability to provide consent, or when information has already been made public.

Principles of the GDPR:

Your personal information will be handled according to the following principles:

• Legitimacy, fairness, and transparency.
• Purpose limitation.
• Data minimization.
• Accuracy.
• Storage limitation.
• Integrity and confidentiality. This principle specifically addresses security. According to the GDPR, personal data must be processed while ensuring appropriate security, protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using suitable technical or organizational measures. As technology and best practices evolve, the GDPR requires more explicit guidelines on the steps businesses should take. Businesses should pseudonymize and encrypt personal data whenever feasible and explore other viable methods.

Cookies:

Web browsers use cookies, small text files stored on your device, to offer customized content, store login information, and remember account preferences. When you visit specific pages on the Site and subsequently browse specific third-party websites, Think Europe Services employs cookies and similar technologies like tracking pixels and web beacons to gather usage and analytical data. This data enables us to provide our Site, Software, and Services. We also utilize these technologies to deliver ads related to pertinent Think Europe Services products and services to you. Presently, our products must comply with Do Not Track requests.

Do We Require Your Consent?

We do not require your permission to use specific categories of your personal information as per our established policy to fulfill legal obligations or protect certain rights. In particular cases, we may seek your written consent to process sensitive data. If we do so, we will fully disclose the required information and the reasons behind it, allowing you to make an informed decision. Your agreement to any consent request from us is not mandatory for your relationship with us.

Automated Decision-Making:

Automated decision-making refers to when an electronic system utilizes personal data to make decisions without human intervention. Currently, we do not plan to make decisions about you through automated processes. However, if this changes, we will notify you in writing. We will disclose your personal information to third parties when required by law.

Data Protection:

We have implemented measures to ensure the security of your data. We have instituted necessary security measures to prevent accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or misuse of your personal information. Moreover, we grant access to your personal information only to employees and agents with a legitimate need-to-know basis. They are bound by confidentiality obligations and will process your personal information exclusively as directed. In case of a suspected data security breach, we will notify you and relevant regulatory authorities, as required by law, and have established procedures to address such situations.
