AirFaas processes personal data in the first place to be able to deliver our services to the Users and to run, maintain and develop our businesses. We use the data for example to handle Users´ payments or any refunds (where applicable) and to provide our Customers and Factories with the information necessary for the delivery of Orders. If you contact our customer service, we will use the information provided by you to answer your questions or solve your complaint.

AirFaas processes personal data to contact the Users regarding our services and to inform the Users of changes to our services and products. User data are also used for research and analysis to improve our services and our websites.

For quality improvement and trend analysis

We may also process information about use of the services to improve the quality of our services e.g. by analysing any trends in the use of our services. When possible, we will do this using only aggregated, non-personally (by user or by user representative) identifiable data.
