RUNIC OY ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and your rights. We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws.
Data We Collect
We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, primarily via our website’s contact form. This includes your name, email address, company name, and any other information you submit. We may also collect certain technical data automatically (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for site administration and security.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance functionality and analyze usage.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the site’s web server. They help us recognize your browser and remember your preferences (for example, language or login) and improve your user experience. As noted by GDPR guidance, cookies that can identify users are treated as personal data under EU law. We classify our cookies as follows:
• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for basic site functions (security, network management, form submission, etc.). These cookies do not require your consent because they are essential for the website to operate.
• Performance/Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are visited, time spent). They help us analyze site traffic and improve performance. For example, we use Google Analytics, which sets cookies (such as _ga) to report on website usage without personally identifying visitors.
• Marketing/Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by external advertisers or embedded content providers to track user behavior for advertising or promotional purposes. For instance, we use Facebook (Meta) Pixel to track ad conversions and target marketing campaigns, and this involves marketing cookies.
Legal Basis and Consent:
Under the GDPR and the EU "cookie law," we rely on your informed consent for all non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are covered by our legitimate interest in operating the site and do not require consent. Before setting any non-essential cookies (performance or marketing cookies), we obtain your explicit consent. We implement a cookie consent banner on our site. This banner appears on your first visit and clearly explains the types of cookies used. You can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies on this banner. By continuing to use our website after seeing the banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
Your Choices — Cookie Management:
You have control over cookies:
• On your first visit, the cookie banner gives you the option to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.
• You can change or withdraw your consent at any time.
The banner includes a preferences link to allow this, and we make it as easy to withdraw consent as it was to give it.
• You may also disable cookies in your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies (see your browser’s "Help" section).
If you disable cookies, please note that some website features may not function correctly. By using our website after reviewing this information, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described.
How We Use Your Information
We use personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent way to provide and improve our services. In particular:
• Service Fulfillment: We use your data to respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request.
• Site Improvement: We analyze usage data (from analytics cookies and server logs) to understand how our site is used and to enhance its content and features.
• Communications: This may include contacting you to discuss potential orders, providing quotes, or arranging logistics.
• Security and Compliance: We use data to protect our website and users (for example, monitoring for and preventing fraud or abuse), and to comply with legal obligations (such as record-keeping and responding to lawful requests). We do not sell or rent your personal information. We will not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the ones stated here.
Sharing Your Data with Third Parties
We will share your information only as necessary and as described here:
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or by a court order, we may disclose your data to governmental authorities, law enforcement, or courts. This is done only to comply with legal obligations (Article 6© GDPR) or to protect vital interests.
• Affiliated Companies: We may share data with our affiliates and subsidiaries within the RUNIC OY corporate group for internal business purposes. All affiliates are bound by confidentiality and GDPR-compliant data protection.
• Service Providers: We engage third-party service providers (e.g. email/IT providers) who process data on our behalf. These processors are contractually obligated to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.
• Business Transfers (M&A): If RUNIC OY or any of its business units are merged, acquired, or sold (or in the event of any other corporate restructuring or asset sale), the acquirer or successor will be allowed to access your data as part of due diligence or integration. We will ensure that any such transfer is governed by data protection safeguards.
We do not sell or market your data to unaffiliated third parties.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above or as required by law. When data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes using secure servers and encryption where appropriate.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data: the right to access the data we hold about you, to correct or update it, to request its deletion, and to withdraw consent where we rely on consent. You may also have the right to restrict or object to processing and to request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions about our data practices, please contact us at the address below. We will respond to your request in accordance with GDPR requirements.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, if new tracking technologies are added or laws change). The date at the top of the policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed of how we protect your information.
