Privacy Overview

By browsing this website, we may collect data that is used to administer, improve, and diagnose problems with this website. The information we collect includes the date and time you access the website, the link you used to access the website, your IP address, and the type of website browser you used when you accessed the website. This information is not used to identify you personally.

We may also collect data that you send us via forms on the contact page and other pages on this website. In addition, you may provide us with personal information when you contact us using other methods.

We will only use the data for the purpose for which it was intended. This includes administration, marketing, processing job applications, etc.

The data we collect may need to pass through or be handled by a third-party in order for us to communicate with you. However, we will never distribute or sell your data or personal information to any person, company, or organisation.

What We Collect

There are two types of data we collect. The first is aggregated data based on your usage of this website. We collect this data using cookies, tags, pixels, and other standard tools. None of this data can identify you personally.

The second type of data that we collect is personal information. This is collected when you submit a contact form through this website, register to receive our newsletter, or contact us using another method.

How We Use Your Information

Any data that we collect is only used for its intended purpose. For example, the aggregated data that we collect helps us understand how people use our website, so we can make improvements. We may also run interest-based advertising campaigns on third-party platforms.

When you send us personal information, we use it to respond to your query when you send us a contact form, send you our email newsletter when you register to receive it, or respond to your message when you contact us using another method.

Sharing Your Data with Third-Parties

It may be necessary, as part of our normal business operations and processes, to share your information with third-parties. Those third-parties act as data processors on behalf of E-Cubers and can include technical support providers, external consultants, suppliers, and professional advisors. We only provide third-parties with information that is necessary for them to deliver their service.

The third-parties we work with must all follow the same standards of data protection that we do. In addition, they can never use the data we provide them with for their own purposes. The above also applies to third-parties outside the European Economic Area as we ensure they also comply with GDPR.

Altering or Requesting the Removal of Your Personal Data

One of the rights you have under GDPR is the right to request the alteration or removal of the data we hold on you. In addition, you can also object to our processing of your personal information. This includes your name, phone number, address, and email address. To get a copy of the personal data we hold, please send an email c/o info@slcontrols.com. You can also write to E-Cubers, c/o SL Controls, IDA Industrial Park, Collooney, Co. Sligo. If you are not happy with how your personal information request is handled, you can, under GDPR, register a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner.

Security

Security is a top priority for us, and we take a range of steps to ensure we have appropriate security measures in place. Those measures are aimed at protecting against loss as well as the alteration or misuse of personal data. That said, we cannot guarantee or ensure the security of the information or data that you send to us.
