CITSAP collects Personal Information about you that is limited to the kind of information that can be found on a typical business card: first name, last name, job title, employer/company name, work address, work email, and work phone number.

Generally, we will use your personal information where we need to answer your enquiries, to confirm your identity, to perform the contract we enter into with you and to process payments, to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and when your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. With your consent, we may also use your information to advertise our products and services to you, and to optimise your experience on our Site.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal data).
