How do we collect information from you?
You can provide your personal data if you wish. We only collect personal data that you want to provide to us or that is needed to provide the service you have requested.

We collect personal information about you in several ways. In this section we explain the different ways personal information may be collected when using www.catalisgroup.com or when contacting us.

In this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” refers to the types of information we may collect, store, and use.

Information from your online interactions
We use cookies on our websites. “Cookies” are small text files that websites save onto your device via your web browser. They have been around since the mid-1990’s and are one of the most widely used technologies on the internet.

The information we collect includes the internet protocol (IP) address of the device you are using, the browser software you use, your operating system, the date and time of access, the internet address of the website from which you link through to our website and information on how you use our websites.

We use this information so that we can see how long our websites take to load, how they are used, the number of visitors to the different sections of our websites, and what information visitors look at most. It also helps identify any part of our website that is not working as well as it should – so we can fix things and make our website better for you and other users.

Any personal information that is collected will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By continuing to use our websites, you accept that cookies may be set on your device.

Third Party Tools
Google reCAPTCHA
“Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) is implemented on our websites. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

Based on our legitimate interest in the prevention of spam and abuse, we also use the invisible reCAPTCHA feature of Google on our website. This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an input is made by a natural person or abusive by automated processing. reCHAPTA analyzes various information of the respective visitor (e.g. IP address, mouse movements of the user, length of stay on the website). By using reCAPTCHA, data is transferred to Google, which is used to determine whether the visitor is a human being or a (spam) bot.
