Basic principles

The Company undertakes to process personal data in accordance with the regulations applicable to the protection of personal data and privacy, in particular in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 adopted on April 27, 2016 relating to the protection of individuals when it comes to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (hereinafter “the Regulation”). We are committed to the following principles:

• you have no obligation to provide us with the personal data we request from you. However, some of this data may be required to access certain services. As such, if you decide not to provide us with this data, you may not have access to some of our services;
• we collect and process your data solely for the purposes described in this Policy or for specific purposes that we have informed you about and/or for which you have given your consent;

• if the personal data in our possession is no longer useful for the personal data processing that we carry out, and no legal obligation requires us to keep it, we will do everything in our power to remove, destroy or anonymize it.Information collected
