When you use our website or contact us, we may process the following information:

• your first and last name;
• your email address;
• your telephone number;
• the content of the message you send us;
• certain technical information required for the security and proper functioning of the website.

Please do not provide sensitive personal information through our contact forms unless it is necessary for us to process your request.

Contact Forms

Information submitted through our contact forms is used solely to respond to your request, provide the information you have requested, prepare a potential quotation or follow up on our communications with you.

The forms available on our website are managed using SureForms.

The information requested through these forms is limited to what is necessary to process your request.

Spam Protection and Cloudflare Turnstile

To protect our forms against bots, abuse and automated submissions, we use Cloudflare Turnstile.

This service helps determine whether an interaction with a form comes from a legitimate user and contributes to the security of our website.

In this context, certain technical information may be processed by Cloudflare in accordance with its own privacy and security policies.

We also use a Honeypot protection mechanism. This is an invisible security measure designed to detect and block certain automated form submissions.

Purposes of Processing

Your personal data may be used to:

• respond to your enquiries;
• provide information about our products and services;
• establish or manage a business relationship;
• ensure the proper functioning and security of our website;
• prevent abuse, attempted fraud and automated submissions;

Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, the processing of your personal data may be based on:

• your request and the steps taken at your request before potentially entering into a contract;
• our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries addressed to BDG Media and protecting the security of our website;
• compliance with our legal obligations where applicable.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.

Requests received through our contact forms may be retained for a reasonable period in order to ensure appropriate follow-up of our communications.

Certain information may be retained for a longer period where required by legal, accounting or administrative obligations.

Recipients of Personal Data

Your personal data is accessible only to persons who require it in order to process your request and to technical service providers necessary for the operation of our website.

These may include our hosting provider, email service providers, form management tools and security providers.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

BDG Media implements reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Our website uses a secure HTTPS connection as well as tools designed to limit automated submissions and malicious activity.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for its operation, security or certain features.

Where non-essential cookies require your consent, such consent must be obtained before those cookies are used.
