Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit www.growthtale.com (the “Site”). The ELENI D.

The Company that is based in Greece, is the one that controls the processing of Personal Information on the Site.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT.

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you fill in the contact form, book a meeting or subscribe through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name and email address. We refer to this information as “Contact Information.” We collect personal information from you when you voluntarily provide it by (1) booking a meeting for more information about our services on our Website; (2) contacting via the contact form to obtain information relating to our services; (3) signing up to receive newsletters or other literature; (4) signing up as a member (i.e to comment under a blog post).

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Contact Information.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Contact Information that we collect generally to fulfill any request placed through the Site (including processing your email address). Additionally, we use this Contact Information to:

- Communicate with you;
- Screen our requests for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). We may share Device Information with third parties for any number of reasons, including advertising, promotional and/or other purposes. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies; however, you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent or you can flush your browser of cookies from time to time. If you choose to disable cookies or refuse to accept a cookie, you may not be able to utilize all features of the Site.

We also reserve the right to access and/or disclose any information as required by courts or administrative agencies and to the extent necessary to permit us to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, the Site rules or policies, or the rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected conduct which the Company deems improper.

We use the “Custom Audience pixel” of Facebook on our website. With its help, we can keep track of what users do after they see or click on a Facebook advertisement. This enables us to monitor the effectiveness of Facebook ads for purposes of statistics and market research. Data collected in this way is anonymous to us, which means we cannot see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is saved and processed by Facebook. Facebook can connect this data with your Facebook account and use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
