1.         Objective and legal basis

As many other webpages, we collect limited anonymous information concerning users and their systems. When users access the “Timeline” of HELLENiQ ENERGY Group’s Facebook page, no personal data are collected, other than the aggregate data provided to us by Facebook, which are metrics, such the number of visitors, clicks, “Likes” or “Reactions”, “Posts”, “Comments”, etc. This type of information is anonymised and is not related to specific users or information from public or private user profiles. We collect this data to serve the Group’s legal interests, namely to analyse user habits, improve page features and provide more useful information to page visitors.

2.         Data collected and collection sources

When you decide to follow our page or interact with us, (e.g. when you “Like” or react to a post, when you “Share” it or post a “Comment”), we gain access to your name, age and gender. We do not store your personal data nor do we extract it to store it in another database. Your data is used by the Company solely to enable the interaction between you and the Company via the specific social medium. We may delete your comments if they do not comply with our social media policies (e.g. if your comments are insulting, unlawful or made in bad faith), but we cannot amend your comments or use your data in any other way whatsoever.
