The IP address only identifies the device used to access our website, mobile apps, or social media platforms, and it does not identify the visitor as an individual.
Data is also gathered when visitors choose to create an account, fill out online forms, participate in offers and promotions, or make a purchase. We will always ask for permission to contact you about products, offers, promotions, and/or other services we think might be relevant to you. This is typically done by ticking the appropriate box in online forms. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time. Data provided by visitors might include:
• Name and surname
• Personal address
• Contact information, including phone number and email address
