We first assign a group and then outsource to the service providers we work with to show our ad to that group. We do not process personal data, as it has initially become anonymous. To better identify the groups we care about, we categorize users and place different ads on different websites.

Who do we work with and share your data with?
We never provide your data to unauthorized third parties. However, in the course of our work, we receive services from service providers giving them limited and strictly controlled access to some of our data. However, before we transfer personal data to these processing companies on our behalf, each individual company is audited. All data recipients must meet the legal requirements regarding data protection and demonstrate the level of data protection by appropriate technical and organizational means.
Service providers
We use different data processors for our day-to-day processing activities. They process your personal data in accordance with the requirements of Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation, only in accordance with our instructions and have no claim to it.
We monitor the processors and only work with those who meet the high privacy requirements we set. Because we use different data processors that we may change from time to time, it is not possible to identify specific recipients of personal information. However, if you are interested, we will share the details of the processor (s) used in the given period, upon request.
Third parties
In addition to the data processors, we also work with third parties, to whom we transmit your personal data, but are not bound by our instructions. These are, for example, our consultants, lawyers or tax experts who take your information from us on a contract basis and process this data for legal reasons or to protect our interests. Under no circumstances do we sell or rent your personal data to third parties. This will never happen without your explicit consent.
Prosecution authorities and legal proceedings
Unfortunately, some of our users and service providers may misbehave and wish to harm us. In these cases, we are not only obliged to provide personal data under legal obligations, it is also in our interest to prevent damages, strengthen our claims and reject unjustified claims.
Ευθύνη
We and the respective operators of social networking platforms act as jointly responsible for processing. When two or more controllers jointly define the purposes and means of processing, they are designated as joint controllers.
Facebook and Instagram social networking platforms are operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
We are responsible for all interactions with our platforms. Social media operators are themselves responsible for processing data for general interactions and interactions outside of our profiles. The only exception is the data processing described below for usage analysis (Page Info). We are jointly responsible with Facebook for this.
How long do we store your data?
Generally, we delete your data after fulfilling the purpose for which it was collected. Precise deletion rules are set out in national data retention provisions. Different deletion rules apply depending on the purpose of the processing. Through these deletion rules we have defined various categories of data and classified them into deletion rule periods. The data collected is characterized by a deletion rule. At the end of the retention period, the stored data will be deleted accordingly.
We will delete your personal data if you wish and let us know at info@profinder.com.cy.
In addition to the deletion rules we have set, there are other legal retention periods that we adhere to. For example, tax records must be kept for a period of between six and ten years or even longer in some cases. These special retention periods vary according to national legal requirements.
Therefore, despite your request to delete your data, we may need to save some of the data due to legal requirements. In this case, however, we will restrict your data from further processing.
In addition, we will continue to store your data if we have the right to do so in accordance with Article 17(3) of the General Data Protection Regulation. This is especially true if we need your personal information to make, exercise or defend legal claims.
How to Make a GDPR Complaint?
If you have a complaint about the way in which your personal data is being processed, please contact us. In the event that you are not satisfied with our handling of your complaint, you have the right to report your concern to the Data Protection Commissioner at 1, Iasonos Street, 1082 Nicosia, P. O.
