Privacy Policy and Cookies

Who we are

Our website address is: https://umers.eu.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

When you contact us using the contact form, we collect the information you submit, typically your name, email address, and message content.

This data is used only to respond to your inquiry and for any necessary follow up related to your message. We do not use contact form data for marketing purposes unless you explicitly request or consent to it.

Anti spam and security measures

To protect the website and contact forms from spam, abuse, and unauthorized access, we use security and anti abuse mechanisms.

These may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device characteristics, timestamps, and interaction patterns for security and fraud prevention purposes.

Media

The website does not allow public media uploads by visitors.

If media uploads become available in the future, users should avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors could download and extract this information.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, or external articles.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged in to those services.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functionality, enhance user experience, measure website traffic, and protect forms from spam.

You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie banner or cookie settings available on the website.

Types of cookies used

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot be disabled through the cookie settings.

They include cookies required for basic site functionality, security, and consent management.

Analytics cookies

We use analytics services through Site Kit by Google to understand how visitors interact with the website, such as page views, approximate location, device type, and traffic sources.

Analytics cookies are used only if you provide consent where required by applicable law and according to your cookie preferences.

Security and spam protection cookies

Our contact forms use Google reCAPTCHA to protect against spam and automated abuse.

reCAPTCHA may set cookies and collect information such as IP address, browser and device data, and user interactions to determine whether a visitor is a real person. This processing is carried out to ensure the security and integrity of the website.

Cookie consent cookies

We use CookieYes to store your cookie preferences. These cookies remember your consent choices so that you are not asked repeatedly.

Third party services

Depending on your cookie consent choices, the website may use third party services including:

• Google services via Site Kit by Google, such as analytics
• Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention on contact forms

These providers may process personal data according to their own privacy policies and may transfer data outside the European Union using appropriate legal safeguards.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

We may share limited data only with service providers that help us operate the website, such as analytics and security services, or when required by law or to protect the security and integrity of the website.

How long we retain your data

Contact form submissions

Contact form messages are retained only for as long as necessary to handle your request and for reasonable record keeping and security purposes.

The website does not allow user accounts or public comments, so no long term account or comment data is stored.

What rights you have over your data

Depending on applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to:

• request access to your personal data
• request correction of inaccurate data
• request deletion of your personal data
• object to or restrict certain processing
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, you may contact us using the contact information provided on the website.

Where your data is sent

Contact form submissions and security checks may be processed through automated spam and abuse prevention services such as Google reCAPTCHA.

Analytics data may be processed by Google services depending on your cookie consent settings.

How we protect your data

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including access controls and security tools designed to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy and Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or website functionality. The latest version will always be available on this page.
