In order to provide services to its Users, Advanced Field Solutions Ltd collects certain types of data from them. Furthermore, Advanced Field Solutions Ltd’s Users collect information from Customers when they use our Platform. This section will describe how these two types of data are collected and used by Advanced Field Solutions Ltd.

2.3.1 Collection of User data
During a User’s registration and later on Advanced Field Solutions Ltd’s Platform, they provide information such as names, emails, addresses, company name, telephone, PO numbers and other relevant data.

Advanced Field Solutions Ltd Users can at any time access and edit, update or delete their contact details by logging on with their username and password to Advanced Field Solutions’ Platform, or by contacting AFS. Advanced Field Solutions Users may create more Users with different privilege levels within their account. It is the responsibility of the User that creates other User accounts, to choose the level of access each User should have.
