Who we are

What data we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you fill in our contact form — specifically your name, company name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect any data automatically beyond standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) which are retained for a maximum of 30 days.
How we use your data
The information you submit via our contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to manage our business relationship with you. We do not use your data for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except where required by law.
Legal basis for processing
We process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (to respond to business enquiries) and, where applicable, your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at contact@bawan.io.
Data retention
We retain your contact information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by applicable law. If no business relationship is established following your enquiry, we will delete your data within 12 months.
Your rights
Under applicable data protection law (including the GDPR where relevant), you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@bawan.io.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or destruction. Our website is served over HTTPS.
