3. The bases on which we process information about you

The controller of the processing of the personal data is the website operator UAB AIS Consulting.

Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

This privacy notice does not apply to the personal information we process as a “data processor” on behalf of our customers. In those situations, the customer that we provide services to and with whom we have entered into a data processing agreement is the “data controller” responsible for your personal information, ‘and we merely process your information on their behalf in accordance with your instructions.
