This is the privacy notice of Alfatron Electronics Inc.

Introduction
This notice describes how we collect, store, transfer, and use personal data. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
In the context of the law and this notice, ‘personal data’ is information that clearly identifies you as an individual or which could be used to identify you if combined with other information. Acting in any way on personal data is referred to as ‘processing’.
Except as set out below, we do not share, sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.
Personal data we process

5. Our use of aggregated information
We may aggregate anonymous information, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated information is not considered personal data in law because it does not reveal your identity.
However, if we combine or connect aggregated information with your personal data so that it can identify you, we treat the combined information as personal data and use it in accordance with this privacy notice.
6. If you do not provide personal data we need
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform that contract.
In that case, we may have to stop providing a service to you. If so, we will notify you at the time.
The bases on which we process information about you
The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal data and to notify you of the basis for each category.
If a basis on which we process your personal data is no longer relevant, we shall stop processing your data immediately.
7. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you
When you create an account, buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
We may use your personal data to:
- verify your identity for security purposes when you use our services
- sell products to you
- provide you with our services
- provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services, and how to obtain the most from using our website
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party.
8. Information we process with your consent
Through certain actions, such as when you browse our website or request more information about our products and services, you consent to us processing personal data.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at info@alfatronelectronics.com. However, this may limit your use of our website or services.
9. Information we process for legitimate interests
We may process information on the basis that it is in our legitimate interest to do so, having considered whether processing (or not processing) might cause harm and if there is a less intrusive way to achieve the same result.

Sometimes, we must process your information to comply with a statutory obligation.
