We use the Yandex.Metrica service, available at http://api.yandex.com/metrika/, which allows various user services and applications to interact with the Yandex.Metrica service.

Information stored in such cookies (browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL, computer host name, time of the server request) is generally transmitted to and stored on Yandex’s servers.

Due to the activation of IP anonymization (IP masking), Yandex will truncate and thereby anonymize the IP address of your device within the European Union or the European Economic Area.

We have entered into a contract with Yandex for the analysis of your use of this website in order to prepare reports on activity on our website and to provide additional services related to the use of our website and the internet in general.

The operator takes all technical and organizational security measures necessary to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized disclosure, or other forms of misuse. Data is stored in a secure environment that is not open to the public. In certain cases, your personal data may be encrypted prior to transmission (for example, when processing login data). This means that, if supported by your browser, the connection between your device and our servers will include recognized encryption measures. Our employees have received training in privacy matters and handle the data and information they access responsibly. Please note that if you contact us by email, the confidentiality of the information in the message cannot be guaranteed. Third parties may have access to the content of emails.

The operator may transfer your data to:

• Service providers, to help or facilitate the services we provide to our clients, but only where we have contractually appointed them to process data on our behalf and, both we and any subcontracted service providers, comply with all data processing requirements under the legislation of the Russian Federation, the European Union, and the European Economic Area;
• Companies that we control, and subsidiaries of such companies, for the performance of our contractual obligations, provided that such companies are subject to this Privacy Policy or to privacy guidelines that provide at least an equivalent level of protection for your data;
• Government authorities, on the basis of mandatory national legislation.

We do not transfer data to third parties without your consent.

If the operator is acquired by or merged with a third party, we reserve the right, in any such circumstances, to move or transfer the information we have collected from you as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your information is processed, transferred, or used.

• The right to rectification;

• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

You can exercise your statutory rights by contacting us by email at info@advcake.com. In compliance with applicable privacy legislation, we delete your data without any action on your part once retaining it is no longer necessary for the purpose pursued, or once retention is no longer permitted for any legal reason. We may restrict processing instead of deleting your data where this is not permitted by law (for example, legal obligations to retain your personal data).

We may amend this Privacy Policy and our data security provisions at any time, in particular if it becomes necessary to comply with new laws and regulations, or if we consider the amendments to be reasonable.
