Where a project concerns delivery in the DRC, relevant information may be shared with Africa Smart Investment DRC S.A.S. or a verified local partner only where necessary for the requested service.

  • Some technology providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers are protected by an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another safeguard recognised by the GDPR.
  • We do not sell personal data.

5. Retention

Ordinary enquiries are normally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. Data connected with a contract, invoice, dispute or legal duty may be kept for the applicable statutory period. Data is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed.

7. Is providing data required?

Providing data is voluntary, but the fields marked as required are necessary for us to identify and answer your request. We do not use website enquiries for automated decision-making or profiling.

8. Cookies and local storage

The website currently does not use advertising cookies or analytics trackers. It may use strictly necessary technical storage and local storage to remember a language choice and support essential interface functions. These mechanisms are not used to build advertising profiles.

  • You can clear or block storage through your browser settings, although this may reset language or interface preferences.
  • If analytics or advertising technology is introduced later, it will not load before a valid choice and this notice will be updated.

9. Embedded media

Videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. A connection to YouTube/Google is made when you choose to play embedded content; their own privacy rules may then apply. External links, WhatsApp and other third-party services are governed by the policies of their respective providers.

10. Contact

Questions, objections or requests concerning personal data may be sent to biuro@africasmartinvestments.eu or by post to ASI African Smart Investments Sp. z o.o., Rynek 2, 32-640 Zator, Poland.
