The categories of personal data collected by DOT NETWORKS as a data controller are strictly related to the services we provide. We may collect the following categories of personal data concerning you:

Identification data and business-related information you share with us when establishing or maintaining a business relationship, such as name and surname, company you work for, position, and other contact information (email address, phone number, fax number, etc.);
Information obtained when visiting our website and sending inquiries/requests;
Information provided when sending a CV or applying for one of our open job positions;
Information collected during the organization of promotional events and projects;
Any other information someone may provide to us in relation to a specific request.

All personal data we collect (including employees of clients or other partners) are subject to risk assessment in line with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standards implemented within DOT NETWORKS, with all available organizational and technical measures taken to ensure their security.

How We Collect Personal Data

We primarily collect personal data directly from you during business cooperation (including pre-contractual data processing), through our website, or when you request additional information about the services we provide.

In certain cases, we may collect personal data from trusted third parties or engage third parties to collect data on our behalf for specific purposes.

Purposes of Processing Personal Data

All personal data collected is used to enable us to deliver the agreed services. Additionally, we collect personal data for recruitment purposes, as well as for responding to your inquiries and requests.

Legal Basis for Processing

DOT NETWORKS processes and uses your personal data for the purposes described in this Policy, on the basis of one of the following legal grounds:

Contract performance. We may process your personal data to fulfill contractual obligations with you or your company, or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Consent. Where required, we will seek your explicit consent to process your data for one or more specified purposes.
Legal obligations. In certain cases, processing of your data is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations.
Vital interests. Processing may be necessary to protect the vital interests of you or another natural person.
Legitimate interest. DOT NETWORKS may process personal data based on legitimate interests, for example:
- Processing after data retention periods expire for the purpose of defending DOT NETWORKS’ interests before state authorities (courts, inspections, etc.);
- Video surveillance of DOT NETWORKS’ premises and surrounding areas for security reasons. Notification regarding surveillance will always be displayed to inform individuals.
- In other cases, when processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, provided such interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of data subjects.

You may choose not to provide personal data (except where collection is mandated by law). However, in such cases, we may be unable to establish, maintain, or terminate a business relationship with you or your company, or provide requested information.

Data Protection

We are committed to keeping your information secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. DOT NETWORKS is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001:2013, confirming our compliance with information security requirements covering HR management, portable media management, incident handling, and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, in accordance with our internal policies and legal obligations.

After the purpose is fulfilled, we will delete your personal data unless required to retain it for compliance with legal obligations or potential dispute resolution.

If data is collected based on consent, processing will cease once consent is withdrawn.

Data Sharing

As DOT NETWORKS is part of a global organization, any personal data you provide may be shared or processed by our affiliates, but only where a proper legal basis exists and adequate technical and organizational safeguards are in place.

In some circumstances, we may share your personal data with third parties under contractual arrangements, in which case we will notify you and ensure compliance with applicable laws. All third parties are required to treat data as strictly confidential and process it solely for agreed purposes.

Where data is transferred to other countries, transfers will only take place to jurisdictions deemed to provide adequate protection levels equivalent to local data protection regulations. If data must be transferred to jurisdictions without adequate protection, DOT NETWORKS will apply Standard Contractual Clauses and inform you about the transfer and related risks. You will always have the right to withhold consent for such transfers.

Personal data may also be disclosed to competent state authorities where required by law.
