1. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of personal data only when you voluntarily provide it:

• Contact information — name, email address, organisation, and any details you include when you contact us via info@gruppenergie.com.
• Technical data — standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) collected automatically for security and analytics purposes.
• Analytics data — anonymised usage data via Google Analytics 4, collected only with your explicit consent through our cookie banner.

2. How we use your information

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries and provide requested information;
• To evaluate potential commercial relationships under non-disclosure agreement;
• To improve our website and user experience;
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

3. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data based on (a) your consent, (b) the necessity of processing to perform a contract or take steps at your request prior to entering a contract, and (c) our legitimate interests in operating and securing our website.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Philippine law. Inquiry correspondence is typically retained for 24 months; analytics data is retained per Google’s default settings (14 months).

5. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We may share information with:

• Service providers — hosting (Hostinger), analytics (Google Analytics 4), and email infrastructure, all bound by confidentiality and data processing terms;

7. Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies required for functionality. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) are only loaded after you provide explicit consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser’s local storage for this site.

8. Security

We implement reasonable physical, organisational, and technical safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website is served over HTTPS with TLS encryption.
