PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF GENERAL PERSONAL DATA
Personal Data (PD) refers to any information about an identified or identifiable natural person. A person is considered identifiable if their identity can be determined, directly or indirectly, by linking them to an identifier such as a name, identity number, location data, online identifiers, or other specific factors related to their physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity. This definition also includes more intimate details such as habits, preferences, and biometric data. Every organization handling personal data of living individuals within the EU must adhere to the EU Data Protection Regulation 679/2016, effective from May 25, 2018, which mandates the protection of personal data across all EU Member States. Processing of personal data encompasses activities like collection, storage, organization, structuring, alteration, retrieval, search, use, disclosure, deletion, or destruction. Through its Privacy Policy, a business educates individuals on the handling of their personal data, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding their interaction with the company.
PRIVACY POLICY
Our company gathers personal data (PD) to facilitate our daily operations and services, and occasionally to comply with relevant laws and regulations. Our Privacy Policy asserts our adherence to the EU’s data protection regulations and our commitment to safeguarding personal data privacy and security. The objectives of this policy are to:
Educate individuals about the PD we collect and process, including the purpose, method, and duration of the processing.
Ensure individuals are informed of their rights and our responsibilities regarding accountability and security.
Offer a straightforward method for securing consent, one of the six legal grounds for processing PD, and provide the option to withdraw consent at any time.
This Privacy Policy applies generally to any individual engaging or planning to engage in any form of cooperation with us.
