Privacy Policy

The privacy of our visitors is one of our top considerations. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that SmartElectroHub collects and records, as well as how we use it.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional concerns or seek extra information about our Privacy Policy.

What legal foundation do we use for processing?

We must have a legal reason for processing your personal data before we can do so. The GDPR establishes six legal basis for organizations to collect, use, and store personal data. We rely on four legal foundations.

Contract Performance

If you are a customer of ours, such as a magazine subscriber or a participant at one of our events, we will handle your personal data on the basis that it is required for us to provide you with our products and services.

Consent

In some cases, we need your explicit consent to process your personal data. You have deliberately agreed and opted in to receive marketing emails from us, for example, and you have the right to withdraw your agreement at any time.

Observance of laws

We may be required to process and share your personal data to comply with legal obligations or to protect our or others’ rights. For tax or financial reporting purposes, we must gather certain information from you when processing your membership payment.

Legitimate objectives

In some cases, we gather and utilize your personal data based on our legitimate business interests. We completed a balancing test in these cases to carefully examine the impact of the processing on your interests, rights, and freedoms. We will only proceed with the processing if we are confident that there will be no negative consequences for you.

Privacy Policies of Third Parties

Other sponsors or websites are not covered by SmartElectroHub’s Privacy Policy. As a result, we recommend that you read the Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more information.

Information for children

Adding protection for youngsters when accessing the internet is another of our top priorities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to observe, participate in, and/or supervise and manage their children’s online activities.
SmartElectroHub does not intentionally collect Personal Identifiable Information from minors under the age of thirteen. If you believe your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to notify us immediately so that we can erase such information from our database.

Social Media Declaration

We have accounts on a variety of social networking sites. When you visit one of our social media accounts, we can normally only see information from your public profile on the social media platform if you are logged in to your profile at the time you visit our social media account; however, we may process data that you submit to us when you contact us (for example: if you create a post, or send us a private message via Facebook).

Other Websites’ Links

Links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and programs may appear on our websites. Third parties may collect or share data about you if you click on those links or enable those connections. We have no control over these third-party websites, and we recommend that you read the privacy notices of any website you visit after leaving ours. Some of these links may be monetized through third-party affiliate programs. These affiliate links assist in defraying the costs of maintaining our websites and ensuring that the material is available to you for free.
