Your privacy matters to Ruris. This policy explains clearly what personal data we collect, for what purpose, how long we keep it and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the "GDPR").

Contact data submitted through the site is kept for as long as needed to handle your request and, unless a contractual relationship follows, deleted within a reasonable period.
