It enables the specific touchpoint to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies collect only anonymous information about your activity on our website. These cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on your computer.

When you visit our Website, the Partners Network or use the Engineering Calculation Software (ECS), a consent notice is requested via the specific touchpoint.

Authorised third-party service providers may be used to process personal data on behalf of FirePro companies with respect to FirePro´s business needs. Personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA. Such transfers are conducted in accordance with the EC Data Protection Directive and the national personal data legislation implementing the directive. The model clauses approved by the European Commission form the basis for the transfer.

FirePro will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Statement. FirePro reserves the right to transfer personal data when required by mandatory laws or authorities. FirePro may provide aggregate statistics about its customers, sales, traffic patterns, and other related Website information to third parties, but these statistics do not include personally identifiable data.

Business Transitions

In the event FirePro goes through a business transition, such as a merger, or an acquisition by another company, or sale of a portion of its assets, users' personal information will be part of the assets transferred. They will be utilised according to the most relevant law at the time.

Data Safekeeping

FirePro has technical and administrative practises in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use or disclosure of private information. However, no database is 100% percent secure and we cannot guarantee that our defences will prevent every single unauthorized attempt to access, use or disclose personal information. If you become aware of a security breach, email us immediately at webmaster [at] FirePro [dot] com.

Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

FirePro attempts to ensure the accuracy of the personal information collected. We also offer you settings to control and manage the personal data we have about you. You can voluntarily access your information, verify its accuracy and, if necessary, correct it. We might periodically ask you to review some personal information that is on file and to update any information that may have changed. As a data subject, you also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on legitimate compelling grounds, except when it is collected in order to comply with a legal obligation, or is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or is to be used for a purpose for which you have given your consent. If you become aware of any personal data inconsistency please email the webmaster [at] FirePro [dot] com.

How long your data is kept

FirePro merely keeps the data for the time necessary to fulfil the purpose of processing of your services or requests.
