We are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our website. We want you to know that we are not in the business of selling, renting, or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes.

In this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

Data Collected On Our Website

Our website provides contact forms for the purpose of obtaining information about our services, arranging a consultation, or requesting support for bureau or software solutions.

Please rest assured that your information will not be used for any other purpose and will be removed from our systems as soon as it is no longer required for us to provide a service to you.

Will You Ever Disclose My Information To A Third Party?

Yes. Providing the applicable identity checks can be met (to assure us that we are dealing with a genuine request), Adept will disclose the data we hold about you.

Right To Be "Forgotten"
