The vendor will only collect data from users, if that data is neccessary to offer the services under the terms in this agreement and if it's legal to collect that data, or if the vendor is obliged by law to collect that data.

The vendor will treat the user's personal information confidentially according to the provisions of the applicable data protection laws, and not disclose it to third parties.

Above this, the provider uses the personal data of the user only if the latter has expressly consented. The user's consent can be revoked at any time.

The following statement gives the user an overview of how the provider ensures the protection and what type of data is collected and for what purpose:

2. Email address

When registering, the user has to give his email address. This email address is used for the "password reset" functionality, because there is no other way to recover from a lost password which would leave the user's account inaccessible.

Furthermore, the vendor will use the user's email address to inform the user about new features of the platform or amendments in licensing terms.

Users can object to that use by sending an email to info@AmboCarta.com, stating their login (NOT the password!) and their objection.

5. Data processing 

a. Browser data

All web browsers provide several pieces of information to each web site server for technical reasons. Due to the fact that that data is adjustable by a user, the vendor uses that data to adjust his portal to the preferences of the user, for example setting the preferred language of the user.

In server log files, the vendor automatically stores data which is sent by the user's browser. Namely: browser type and version, operating system, flash version, referrer URL, and an abbreviated (crippled) version of the user's ip address, as well as the timestamp of the request.

These pieces of information are not related to a specific person, after a statistic analysis, these pieces of data are deleted when older than 12 weeks.
