We place great importance on your right to privacy and always aim to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, especially the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In this Privacy Policy, we explain how we collect your personal data, how and for what purposes we process it, and to whom it may be disclosed.

This Policy also contains important information about your rights in relation to your personal data. We therefore encourage you to read it carefully.

How long do we retain your personal data?

We do not keep your data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Afterwards, it may be archived or stored in backups, but no longer actively processed.

We take appropriate administrative, technical and organisational measures to ensure a security level suitable to identified risks.

This protects your data against destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or unauthorised access.

We also aim to keep your data accurate and up to date. Please inform us of any changes (e.g. updated contact details).
