Data of Aikon's websites users are collected in applications and information systems used by Aikon and are used solely for the purpose of efficient and correct administration of Aikon's websites. Data of Aikon websites users is stored for a period of 20 years. This means that we do not seek to identify users of Aikon websites, transfer any personally identifiable information to any third party or use the information obtained for any other purpose. According to the practice accepted on most websites, we store HTTP queries directed to our server. Browsed resources are identified by URLs.

Data of employees, co-workers and candidates is collected in the information systems used by Aikon as well as at Aikon's headquarters on paper media.

The data provided will be processed for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of providing access, unless the law regulations provides otherwise.
