Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 October 2026
Argentina Business Network respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be collected when you visit this website or contact us, why we process it, how long it may be retained and what rights you have under applicable data protection law.
This policy applies to argentinabusinessnetwork.com and the contact options provided on this website.
Who Is Responsible for Your Data?
The controller responsible for processing personal data through this website is:
Argentina Business Network
Legal name of the operator: Olaf Lothar Bonke
Postal address: Sandbuehlstr. 9 / DE-95519 Vorbach
Email: office@argentinabusinessnetwork.com
Website: argentinabusinessnetwork.com
Please replace the bracketed information with the correct legal details before publishing this policy. The controller must be the actual person or legal entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Information You Submit to Us
If you contact us through our website, we may process the information you provide, including:
- Your name
- Your company name, if provided
- Your business email address
- Your country
- The subject of your enquiry
- The contents of your message
- Any additional information you voluntarily include
We use this information to receive and respond to enquiries, understand potential business requirements, communicate with you and, where appropriate, discuss possible business cooperation.
Legal Basis
Depending on the circumstances, processing may be necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract. Where neither basis applies, processing may be based on our legitimate interests in handling business enquiries and maintaining business communications, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Where processing genuinely relies on consent, we will request consent as required by law. You may withdraw consent at any time for future processing without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Server Logs and Technical Information
When you visit this website, technical information may be processed by the website infrastructure or hosting provider to deliver the website and maintain its security and stability.
Depending on the hosting configuration, this information may include:
- IP address
- Date and time of access
- Requested page or file
- Browser and operating system information
- Referrer information, where transmitted
- Technical error and security records
Such information may be processed to deliver website content, diagnose technical problems, prevent misuse and protect the website against attacks.
The applicable legal basis depends on the specific processing activity and may include our legitimate interests in secure and reliable website operation or compliance with legal obligations. Log data should be retained only for the period necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by law.
Contact Form Processing
This website uses Contact Form 7, a WordPress plugin, to provide contact forms.
Information submitted through a form is processed to handle your enquiry. Depending on the website configuration, form submissions may be transmitted by email, stored in website infrastructure or processed by service providers involved in operating the website.
Contact Form 7 does not, by itself, establish that form submissions are stored in a database. The actual handling of submissions depends on the plugins, extensions and server configuration in use.
We aim to limit the information collected to what is reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry. Please do not submit sensitive personal information or confidential business material unless it is necessary and you have considered whether the contact channel is appropriate.
Email and Business Correspondence
If you contact us by email or if we respond to a contact-form enquiry, we process the information necessary to conduct that correspondence.
This may include your email address, name, company details, the contents of messages, attachments and relevant communication history.
We use this information to respond to your request, clarify business requirements and maintain relevant business correspondence. If a contractual relationship develops, additional processing may be necessary to manage that relationship or meet legal record-keeping obligations.
We do not use contact-form information for unrelated marketing purposes merely because you submitted an enquiry. Any separate marketing activity must have an appropriate legal basis and comply with applicable requirements.
Cookies and Website Preferences
This website may use cookies or similar technologies. These can include technologies required for basic website functionality, security or the storage of user preferences.
Whether additional cookies or similar technologies are used depends on the actual WordPress configuration, theme, plugins and any analytics, embedded content or third-party services installed on the website.
Technologies that require consent will only be used after valid consent has been obtained, where required by applicable law. You can manage consent through the website's cookie settings where such a tool is provided.
For information about a specific cookie, its provider, purpose and duration, please refer to the website's cookie settings or the relevant provider documentation.
Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data may be made available to service providers where this is necessary to operate the website or handle your enquiry. Depending on the services actually used, these may include:
- Website hosting and server infrastructure providers
- Email and communication service providers
- Website maintenance, security and technical support providers
- Other providers whose services are necessary to respond to an enquiry or operate a feature you use
Where required, appropriate contractual safeguards will be used when service providers process personal data on our behalf. Personal data will not be disclosed to unrelated recipients without an appropriate legal basis.
The actual recipients depend on the website's technical configuration and the services used at the time of processing.
Processing Outside Your Country
Argentina Business Network focuses on business cooperation between Argentina, Germany and other international markets. This does not automatically mean that personal data collected through this website is transferred to Argentina or another country.
If personal data is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, the transfer will be assessed under the applicable data protection rules. Where required, an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism must be in place.
Where applicable, information about the relevant destination, transfer mechanism and safeguards will be provided in accordance with the law.
How Long Do We Keep Personal Data?
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate requirements for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
- Enquiries: retained for the time needed to respond and manage the enquiry, including reasonable follow-up where relevant.
- Business correspondence: retained for the duration of the relevant relationship and any necessary follow-up.
- Contractual and accounting records: retained for the periods required by applicable law.
- Technical logs: retained according to operational, security and legal requirements.
Actual retention periods depend on the type of information, the purpose of processing and applicable obligations. Data will be deleted or restricted when it is no longer required, where legally appropriate.
Your Data Protection Rights
Subject to the conditions and limitations of applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data concerning you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Request erasure of personal data in applicable circumstances.
- Request restriction of processing in applicable circumstances.
- Object to certain processing activities.
- Receive certain personal data in a portable format, where the right to data portability applies.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
To exercise a right or ask a question about personal data, contact us at office@argentinabusinessnetwork.com.
We may need to verify your identity before responding. Not every right applies in every situation; requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure.
No website, email transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through ordinary contact forms or email unless the channel is appropriate for that information.
External Links and Embedded Services
This website may contain links to external websites. When you follow an external link, the privacy practices of the destination website apply.
If this website uses embedded maps, videos, social media content, analytics tools or other third-party features, those services may process technical information such as your IP address or browser data. Where required, such features will be configured to obtain consent before non-essential processing takes place.
The presence and operation of any such services depend on the actual website configuration.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, our business processes, the services we use or applicable legal requirements.
The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date where appropriate.
