MIG is committed to the responsible handling and protection of personal information. Personal information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.
We collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store personal information when needed to provide our Services and for our operational and business purposes as described in this Statement. We want to be clear about our privacy practices so that you can make informed choices about the use of your information, and we encourage you to mail at info@energymarketprice.com at any time with questions or concerns.
We collect personal information from you, for example, if you request information, purchase or use our Services, or request customer support. We may ask you to provide information such as your name, phone number, email address, user name and password, and information about your device. We also collect personal information from third parties such as our partners, service providers, and publicly available websites, to offer Services we think may be of interest and to help us maintain data accuracy and provide and enhance the Services.
In addition, our servers, logs, and other technologies automatically collect certain information to help us administer, protect, and improve our Services; analyse usage; and improve users' experience. We do not share personal information with others.
We process personal information for these Service- and business-related purposes:
Account setup and administration: We use personal information such as your name, email phone
number, and information about your device to set up and administer your account, provide technical and customer
support and training, verify your identity, and send important account, subscription, and Service information.
Personalization: We use personal information to deliver and suggest tailored content such as
news, research, reports, and business information and to personalize your experience with our Services.
Marketing:
We use personal information to deliver marketing to you via email and online. If we send you a marketing email,
it will include instructions on how to opt out of receiving these emails in the future. We also maintain email
preference centres for you to manage your information and marketing preferences.
Please remember that even if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, we may still send you important
Service information related to your accounts and subscriptions.
MIG shares or discloses personal information when necessary to provide Services or conduct our business operations as described below. When we share personal information, we do so in accordance with data privacy and security requirements. We may occasionally share non-personal, anonymized, and statistical data with third parties. Below are the parties with whom we may share personal information and why.
MIG is a European organization, and your personal information is stored and processed in Belgium. We take steps to ensure that the information we collect is processed according to this Privacy Statement and the requirements of Belgian law.
We collaborate with third parties such as cloud hosting services. We take appropriate steps to ensure that personal information is processed, secured, and transferred according to applicable law. In some cases, we may need to disclose or transfer your personal information within MIG or to third parties in areas outside of your home country.
MIG takes data security seriously, and we use appropriate technologies and procedures to protect personal information. Our information security policies and procedures are closely aligned with widely accepted international standards and are reviewed regularly and updated as necessary to meet our business needs, changes in technology, and regulatory requirements.

- We take steps to ensure that our employees and contractors operate in accordance with our information security policies and procedures and any applicable contractual conditions
We retain personal information for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or business purposes, which is not more then 36 months after collecting the information, except for actual clients. In determining data retention periods, MIG takes into consideration local laws, contractual obligations, and the expectations and requirements of our customers. When we no longer need personal information, we securely delete or destroy it.
