Website Data Privacy Policy
AMIID Inc. (AMIID) is dedicated to making your online experience informative and
beneficial to your business. We truly appreciate your presence on our site and understand
that you are our guest at all times and should be treated accordingly. To ensure this, we
have listed the components of our Website Privacy Policy below.
AMIID abides by the provisions of the European Union General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). To earn and maintain your trust, we are committed to protecting the
privacy and security of the personal data we have about users of our website, our clients,
and our clients’ accounts. This notice is intended to help you understand our practices for
collecting, using, maintaining, and disclosing your personal data.
A. Collection and Processing of Information
I. We are processing personal data. Personal data are any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is
one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier
such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or
more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or
social identity of that natural person. However, information which cannot be directly tied
to an individual, such as aggregated information, or anonymized information, is not
considered personal data.
II. The legal basis for the collecting and the processing of personal data depends on the
purpose for which we use the personal data. In some instances, the basis for processing is
your consent. However, in many cases, the legal basis for processing will be AMIID’
legitimate interest specifically relating to the administration of our website. Note that
should you believe that your interest outweighs AMIID’ interests, you may object to such
processing as described in this Policy. Finally, AMIID may process personal data
pursuant to the performance of a contract.
III. We limit the collection and processing of personally identifiable information to that
which is necessary to deliver services to our clients. We collect personal data in a number
of ways. This can be done directly from you or your custodians, either via telephone,
Web form or email, or via automated tools which are embedded in our technology
platform (e.g. this website). Some of the automatically collected information is personal
data, some of it is not.
IV. The information we generally automatically collect is technically related to the use of
our website. This information is gathered through our servers’ log files. These log files
record information such as:

the types of browsers and operating systems used
time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
requested site or file
date and time of your request
web page where the request originated
status of this request (file transferred, file not found etc.)
amount of data transferred
This log file information allows us to improve out website, created better content, and
deliver a more personalized service. To this end, the legal basis for this kind of
processing is our legitimate interest as described by GDPR Article 6(1)(f).
V. You may be required to register in order to be granted access to certain information,
services and/or products on this website. At the time of registration, you may be
