Grounds for Data Collection

Processing of your personal information (meaning, any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means; hereinafter "Personal Information") is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you and providing you with our industrial welding services, equipment, and parts, to protect our legitimate interests and for compliance with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject.

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods are determined by the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
