ElectronCorp processes personal data in accordance with Law No. 18-07 of 25 Ramadhan 1439 (10 June 2018) on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data, and with the other Algerian laws that apply to us. In practice, we commit to:

6. Who receives your data

Your data is accessible only to the authorised ElectronCorp staff who need it to handle your request. They work through a secured internal tool that requires a personal account, and every action they take is recorded.

We also use service providers who process data only on our instructions and for the purposes above:

  • the infrastructure supplier of the servers that store the site and its database; these servers are administered and managed by Electron Corp;
  • our email delivery service, which sends the verification codes, confirmations and newsletters;
  • Google LLC: reCAPTCHA protects our forms against bots; for meeting bookings, Google Calendar and Google Meet create the meeting, and Google sends you the invitation (your name, email, company, reason and message are included in the calendar event);
  • with your cookie consent only: Google LLC (Google Analytics 4), Google LLC (Google Tag Manager), Google LLC (Google Ads), Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (Meta Pixel);
  • for a .dz domain registration you order from us, the data required by the registry (CERIST, which manages the .dz domain) is transmitted to it.

We may also disclose data when required by law, at the lawful request of a judicial or administrative authority.

7. Transfers outside Algeria

Some providers listed above (Google and, if you accept the corresponding cookies, the advertising and measurement providers) may process data on servers located outside Algeria. These transfers are limited to what each service needs and are carried out in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 18-07 on transfers of personal data to foreign countries.

If you prefer that your data is not processed by these providers, refuse the optional cookies and contact us by email (contact@electroncorp.dz) instead of using the online forms.

8. How long we keep your data

Security logs (IP address, browser, attempts)12 months

At the end of these periods, data is deleted automatically, unless a legal obligation requires us to keep it longer. You can ask us to delete it earlier (see section 10).

9. Security and confidentiality

As a cybersecurity company, we apply the protection we recommend to our clients:

  • all exchanges with the site are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS);
  • verification codes are stored only as keyed hashes;
  • access to your data is limited to authorised staff with personal accounts, and every action is logged;
  • the forms are protected by rate limiting, anti-bot checks and automatic blocking of abusive behaviour;
  • our staff are bound by confidentiality.

No system is completely risk-free. If a security incident affected your data, we would take the necessary measures and inform you and the competent authority as required by law.

10. Your rights

Under Law No. 18-07 of 25 Ramadhan 1439 (10 June 2018) on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data, you have the right to:

  • information: to know how your data is processed (this policy);
  • access: to obtain confirmation that we process your data and a copy of it;
  • rectification: to have inaccurate or incomplete data updated or corrected, and to have data erased or blocked when its processing does not comply with the law;
  • objection: to object, for legitimate reasons, to the processing of your data, and to object at any time, free of charge, to its use for prospecting;
  • withdrawal of consent at any time.

To exercise them, email privacy@electroncorp.dz with the subject "Personal data", stating your request and the email address you used on our site. We may ask for proof of identity to protect your data. We answer free of charge and within one month at the latest.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can lodge a complaint with the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (ANPDP).

11. Newsletter and prospecting

We send our newsletter only to people who subscribed and confirmed their address with a code. Each email contains an unsubscribe link that works immediately. We never send commercial emails or messages to people who did not consent to them.

12. Automated security measures

We do not make any decision about you based solely on automated processing, with one exception for security: an IP address that repeatedly triggers our anti-spam protections is automatically blocked from the forms for a limited time (24 hours by default). If you think you were blocked by mistake, contact us by phone or email.

13. Minors

Our services are intended for businesses and adults. Persons under 19 (the age of civil majority in Algeria) must not send us personal data without the consent of their legal representative. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, in particular when our services or the law change. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. If a change affects how we use your data, we inform you on the site and, for cookies, ask for your consent again.
