• We ensure that all our agents, independent contractors, and employees accept the non-disclosure agreements that maintain explicit confidentiality protection. Any individual violating such security and/or privacy policies is liable for possible termination and criminal and/or civil prosecution.
• EI Design’s software is linked to individual servers, and we do not disclose your personal data to any social media platforms. However, please note that no communication on the Internet is guaranteed confidential and, in essence, you give out information at your own risk.

Users who exhibit their personal data on our website can exercise several data protection rights free of charge, which are subject to statutory exemptions. There may also be limitations to these rights. For example, using another person’s personal data to fulfil your request or asking us to deleting information that we are supposed to maintain by law. Users also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority where they live regarding any unresolved concerns. But, we encourage users to approach us first to resolve any queries.

We rely on your consent with regard to your data. You may withdraw your consent at any point by contacting us. You will also have the right to review, rectify, and access your personal data.  If you wish to correct your information, such as your name, email address, or any other preferences, you are permitted to ask us for a copy of your information.
