The collected data is processed as described in this Privacy Notice and according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable legislation.
Business Mill’s services can be offered on various technical platforms, and the services may include links or access to other operators’ websites or services. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with such third-party data protection policies and terms of use. Business Mill is not responsible for third-party data protection policies or terms of use.
What personal data do we collect?
We collect and store only such personal data that is required to carry out expert work, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, or other information that is essential for the purposes stated in this Privacy Notice.
Where does the collected data come from?
We collect personal data from the registered persons themselves or from other general sources available to us, such as the user data from our social media channels.
Why do we process personal data?
The primary basis for processing personal data is the use of Business Mill’s services, a person’s other relevant connection to our services, or the person’s consent. In all cases, we aim to collect minimum identifying data.
We process your personal data for one or several of the purposes specified below.
1. Provision of services

Those services may be provided by an operator located outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). In these cases, too, privacy is protected according to the GDPR regulations.
Register protection principles
The register is maintained and used with due diligence and care. The data processed in data systems is protected appropriately. When register data is stored on web servers, proper measures are applied to secure that the hardware fulfils the requirements of physical and digital data security. The controller ensures that the stored data, permissions to access the servers, and other critical data related to privacy protection are processed in confidence and only by the employees whose job duties require them to access such data. The persons who have the right to access our clients’ personal and other data are under obligation of confidentiality.
