We understand that the security of your personal data is important.

Your personal data are stored on servers located within the European union and are not transferred outside the European Economic Area. [DM1] [BM2]

In this case, we put in place contractual measures and controls regarding technical and organizational measures in accordance with the regulations to ensure that personal data is processed with the same level of security as required by the European regulations.
Therefore, you agree and accept that if you provide us with your personal data, you consent on the transfer of your personal data as described herein.
Personal Data retention period
We will only retain your personal data for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which we collected it, including to comply with any legal or accounting requirement.
