This notice explains how personal information is handled when you visit the Washix website or contact Aphelion Lavis Group by email.
1. Who to contact
Aphelion Lavis Group is the contact for the website and correspondence described in this notice. For questions about your personal data or to exercise your rights, write to legal@aphelionlavis.com.
This notice concerns the Washix website. Other group websites and services may have separate privacy information.
2. Information we process
- Website visits. Technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as an IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps and security events.
- Email enquiries. Your email address, name and business contact details if provided, together with your message, attachments and subsequent correspondence. We receive this information directly from you or from someone corresponding on your behalf.
- Privacy requests. The details needed to understand and respond to your request. We may ask for proportionate additional information if necessary to verify your identity.
The website does not offer user accounts, online purchases or a newsletter subscription. Providing information by email is voluntary, although we may be unable to address an enquiry without sufficient details. Please send only what is relevant and avoid unnecessary sensitive information about yourself or others.
3. Purposes and legal grounds
We use information to respond to enquiries, manage related business correspondence, operate a reliable website, investigate misuse and handle privacy requests.
- Operating and protecting the website: our legitimate interest in making corporate information available and preventing abuse.
- General enquiries and business correspondence: our legitimate interest in responding and managing professional relationships. Where an enquiry concerns a potential contract with you, processing may also be necessary to take steps at your request before entering that contract.
- Legal requirements and rights requests: compliance with applicable obligations, and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims where necessary.
Sending an enquiry does not subscribe you to a marketing list. If a separate activity requires your consent, we will explain that activity and obtain consent separately; it may be withdrawn without affecting processing lawfully carried out beforehand.
4. Hosting and service providers
Cloudflare. The website is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes technical request and network information to route traffic, provide content and help protect the service. Its privacy policy explains its processing of information relating to website visitors.
Email and professional support. Email and technology providers process information as needed to deliver their services. Relevant correspondence may also be shared with the people handling your enquiry, professional advisers where necessary, or authorities where disclosure is required by law.
Cloudflare and other service providers may process information outside Andorra, including in the United States. Provider privacy information describes their international processing arrangements. Where a transfer requires safeguards under applicable data protection law, those safeguards must apply. You can contact us for information about the arrangements relevant to your enquiry.
5. Cookies and tracking
This website does not use advertising cookies or behavioural tracking tools. Cloudflare may use technical cookies to manage traffic or verify security challenges, depending on the protection features that apply to a visit. These functions are described in Cloudflare’s cookie documentation.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking technical cookies may affect access when a security check is required. If optional tracking is introduced in the future, this notice and the relevant choices will be updated before it is used.
6. Retention and security
Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to address the enquiry and manage any resulting relationship. Information that needs to be retained for legal obligations or potential claims may be kept for the relevant period, with access limited to that purpose. Retention depends on the nature of the enquiry, the relationship and the applicable requirements.
Technical records are subject to the retention arrangements of the services used to deliver and protect the website. Where a provider processes information for its own purposes, its privacy information explains the corresponding practices.
The website uses HTTPS to protect data in transit. No method of internet transmission is completely secure; please contact us before sending particularly sensitive documents so that an appropriate means of sharing can be agreed.
7. Your rights
Subject to the conditions of applicable law, you may request:
- Confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and access to that data.
- Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Erasure of information or restriction of its processing.
- Objection to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Portability where the relevant legal conditions apply.
- Withdrawal of consent where processing relies on it.
Send your request to legal@aphelionlavis.com, explaining the right you wish to exercise and the information or correspondence concerned. Please do not send identity documents unless we specifically request proportionate verification. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and explain any limits or exceptions that apply.
You may also raise a concern with a competent data protection authority, including the Agència Andorrana de Protecció de Dades (APDA), or the authority in your place of residence where applicable.
8. External websites and changes
Following a link to another group website or an external website takes you to a separate service. Please read its privacy information before providing personal data.
We may revise this notice when our services or processing practices change. The date at the top of this page identifies the latest version. For further information about the Washix website, see our legal notice.
