In order to provide services to you as a customer, we are required to obtain and process certain information related to persons ordering and receiving the service.

Will Cisilion Ltd. share my personal data with anyone else?
Except where required to fulfil a contractual obligation to you as a part of a service, we will not pass your personal data on to any third-party service providers.
Where your data is required to be processed by a third party, we will only do so once we have obtained your consent, unless we are legally required to do otherwise.

Cisilion Ltd. will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs.
Under what circumstances will Cisilion Ltd. contact me?
Our aim is not to be intrusive, and we undertake not to ask irrelevant or unnecessary questions. Moreover, the information you provide will be subject to rigorous measures and procedures to minimise the risk of unauthorised access or disclosure.
