Your consent and approval to this privacy policy ("Policy") is deemed effective upon your first use of this Website. EVIQ, at its sole discretion, may amend this Policy with immediate effect and your consent and approval to such amendments is deemed upon your continuous use of the Website.

We use, collect, store and you consent to such in relation to the following data:

Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends to us without identifying individual visitors.

Where the legal basis for us processing your personal data is that you have provided your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. You will not suffer any detriment for withdrawing your consent. If you withdraw your consent, this will not make processing which we undertook before you withdrew your consent unlawful.

Your personal data will not be used in a manner that contradicts with the purpose that it was collected for as stated in this Privacy Policy.

Your personal data will not be kept for longer than is necessary to fulfill the specific purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, and to allow us to comply with our legal requirements. Any personally identifiable information will not be kept longer than required.
