Last Updated and Effective Date: DECEMBER 22, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how TOR IT LLC ("TOR IT", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, protects, and discloses personal data when you visit our website or contact us through our inquiry form (https://tor-it.com/ and all related web features) (the "Service"). It forms part of the Terms of Use you accepted (the "Contract").

This Privacy Policy is based on the provisions of the data protection laws applicable in your country of residence.

1. Controller
The "Controller" of your personal data under this Privacy Policy is Limited Liability Company "TOR IT".

If you have any questions about how we process your personal data under this Policy, you can contact us at:
E-mail: bkv@tor-it.com 
  • If you reside in another jurisdiction, please consult the specific channels at the end of this Privacy Policy or contact the Data Protection Officer responsible for your jurisdiction.

2. Personal Data We Collect
We collect the personal data that you provide to us directly and some data automatically when you use our website. Specifically, we collect:

  • Contact and identification details:
Your full name, email address, telephone number, and company name (from your inquiries or subscription).
  • Inquiry contents:
Any message or content you submit via our contact form.
  • Technical data:
Your IP address, browser type and version, and device information (to help ensure site security and optimize performance).
  • Cookies and usage data:
We use cookies and similar technologies to track website activity (e.g., Google Analytics). Cookies are small text files placed on your device that record information such as pages visited and IP address. You can control or delete cookies via your browser settings (please note that disabling cookies may affect website functionality).

All the above categories of data are collected only when you voluntarily provide them (e.g., by filling out our contact/purchase request form) or by using our site. We do not collect sensitive data (such as health or racial data) or payment card details (no payments are processed on our website). 
We do not obtain personal data from third-party sources.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes, as described below. We only use data in ways that are compatible with the purpose for which it was collected. Our main purposes are:

Responding to inquiries and providing services:
We process your contact details and inquiry content to respond to your questions and help you with purchasing our system. This processing is necessary to perform our contractual or pre-contractual obligations with you (e.g., discussing product purchase) or our legitimate interests in communicating with you and providing customer service.

Improving our website and security:
We use analytics data (browser, device, IP, cookies) to understand how visitors use our site and to maintain its security. This is done based on our legitimate interests (to optimize our site and prevent fraud) and does not override your privacy rights.

Marketing and newsletters:
If you consent, we may send you marketing emails about our products and services. This is done with your explicit consent (which you can withdraw at any time). We do not send unsolicited marketing; you must opt in.

Legal compliance:
We may use your data to comply with applicable laws or respond to lawful requests (for example, keeping records for tax or accounting purposes). In such cases, processing is necessary to fulfill our legal obligations.

We will never use your personal data for purposes that are not described above or incompatible with the context in which it was collected.

4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:

4.1. Performance of the Contract
Processing necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract (e.g., discussing or fulfilling a purchase of our system).
4.2. Legitimate Interest
We may process your personal data when we (or a third party) have a legitimate interest in using it in a certain way, provided that such processing is both necessary and balanced against any potential impact on your rights and freedoms. Where the data protection laws of your country of residence recognize "legitimate interests" as a lawful basis for processing, we rely on this legal basis to:
  • Enhance and personalize our Service;
  • Prevent and detect fraud;
  • Protect our legal rights and property;
  • Improve security and user experience.
If you reside in a jurisdiction that does not recognize "legitimate interests" as a valid legal basis, we will instead rely on any alternative legal bases provided under that country’s data protection laws.
4.3. Consent
Where required by law (e.g., for sending marketing emails), we process data based on your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal (see below).
4.4. Legal Obligation
If we must process your data to comply with a legal requirement (for example, accounting or tax laws), we do so on the basis of that obligation.

By using our website or submitting your data, you acknowledge these purposes and legal grounds. GDPR requires that we inform you of both the purpose and the legal basis for each processing activity.

5. Cookies
As outlined in our Cookie Notice, we use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, ad tags and local storage to improve your experience, provide convenience and maintain security. For simplicity, we call all these tools "cookies." In practice, cookies support functions like authentication, security, feature enablement and analytics.

We collect marketing and analytics cookies based on your consent obtained via the cookie banner. If you've granted consent for cookies, you may modify or withdraw that consent at any time via the "Manage Cookies" option on our website.

6. Disclosure and Third-Party Services
We do not sell your personal data. We share your personal data only with third parties that perform services on our behalf or as required by law. These include:

Service Providers: Trusted vendors that provide IT, hosting, analytics, and marketing services. For example, we use Hetzner (Germany) for hosting and data storage, and Google for analytics. These providers act as data processors and are contractually bound to protect your data.
Affiliated Entities: If applicable, other companies within the TOR IT group may access your data solely to provide services.
Legal and Financial Advisors: Third parties such as accountants or lawyers, but only to the extent needed for legal compliance or business operations.
Public Authorities: We may disclose personal data to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., a valid court order, tax authority request, or investigation by a government agency).
Business Transitions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving TOR IT, your personal data may be transferred to the new owner or successor. Any such transfer would be subject to confidentiality and security commitments.

All third parties listed above are required to use your personal data only for the purposes we specify and in compliance with GDPR.

7. International Data Transfers
Currently, we store and process your personal data in the European Union (Germany). Under GDPR, transfers of personal data outside the EU/EEA must be done with appropriate safeguards. If in the future we transfer data to another country (for example, if we expand operations to the US or elsewhere), we will ensure compliance by using one of the following safeguards as required:

  • Adequacy Decisions:
Transfer only to countries recognized by the EU as providing adequate protection.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs):
Legally approved contract terms to protect your data.
  • Consent:
We may obtain your explicit consent for specific transfers if no other basis applies.

If any international transfers occur, we will disclose them here and ensure that your data remains protected according to GDPR standards.

8. Data Retention and Security
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above (for example, to respond to your inquiry or to comply with a contract). In general, we will delete or anonymize your data when it is no longer needed. For instance, inquiry records might be kept for a period (e.g., up to 5 years) to meet legal or business requirements, after which they are securely deleted. Specific retention periods are determined based on legal and business requirements.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. These measures include secure servers with access controls, encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest where possible, firewalls, regular security updates, and strict access policies. We restrict data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. Despite these safeguards, no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed 100% secure; however, we strive to protect your data in accordance with industry best practices.

9. Your Privacy Rights
According to the GDPR, you have certain rights as a data subject, including the right to access, right to data portability, right to rectification, right to withdraw consent, right to object, right to erasure, right to restriction of processing, right to lodge a complaint, and right to contact a Data Protection Authority (DPA). Please be aware that there may be limitations or exceptions to these rights, depending on the specific circumstances and legal requirements. If anything is unclear, please don’t hesitate to contact us and ask any questions. Below, you can find more information about these rights and how you can exercise them.

  • Right of Access
You may request access to the personal data we hold about you. We’ll provide details about how and why we process your data, the categories of data involved, any recipients, and other relevant information.
  • Right to Rectification
If you believe your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it.
  • Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You may request deletion of your personal data unless processing is necessary for freedom of expression and information, compliance with a legal obligation, public‑interest tasks, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
  • Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we suspend processing of your personal data if:
— You contest its accuracy;
— The processing is unlawful, and you oppose erasure;
— We no longer need it, but you require it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or
— You have objected to processing pending verification of our legitimate grounds.
  • Right to Object
You can object to our processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing. We will stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds or a legal requirement to continue. Objections to direct marketing are always honoured.
  • Right to Data Portability
You may receive the personal data you’ve provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format, and you can request that we transmit it directly to another controller where technically feasible.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent
If we process your data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint
You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe our data processing violates your rights. You can find a list of local data protection authorities here; for Armenia — https://pdpa.am/en.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at bkv@tor-it.com. Once you submit a request, we will review and respond promptly — typically within 30 days. In certain cases, we may need additional time to investigate and fulfil your request. Once completed, we will confirm via the email address you provided.
By submitting a request, you confirm that you are the individual to whom the data relates and that you have the legal capacity and authority to act on your own behalf. We may verify your identity using the information you supply if there is any doubt. Additionally, where required by law, we may need to share your request and our response with third parties, including regulatory authorities.
