10. Protection of Personal Data

Personal data is safeguarded using the highest-level technical and organizational measures, following gold-standard practices. These measures effectively prevent the destruction of data by unlawful or accidental events, as well as its loss or alteration.

Although we apply the highest level of care and follow gold-standard data protection practices as required by law, it is not possible to guarantee in all circumstances that your personal data will remain error-free. Accordingly, we cannot be held liable if personal data is disclosed or suffers incidental, intangible, or consequential damage. This includes situations beyond our control, such as disclosure caused by transmission errors, unauthorized third-party access, or any similar cause.

If we receive a lawful request from regulators or other competent authorities, we may be required to disclose your personal data to them. Once disclosed under a legal obligation, we cannot control how those authorities handle, store or protect it.

Anything transmitted over the internet, including personal information, carries a risk of interception and is not 100% secure. The Company cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted online.

11. Links to third-party websites

On this website, you may encounter links to third-party applications and websites. Please note that these are not affiliated with or controlled by our company, and our privacy policy does not apply to them. They maintain their own policies and practices for collecting and processing personal data, and we are not responsible for those activities. Use at your own discretion.

Always review the privacy policy of any company or service when you visit its website before providing personal data. Ensure that its data collection, use, and processing practices align with your preferences and priorities. Any information you choose to share should be provided directly to the service provider.

Your personal data is protected under the rights described herein. By sending an email to the address below, you may immediately exercise those rights.

Accessing Your Rights

If the personal data you have provided to us is accurate, you may access it at any time. Any of your personal data we process is accessible to us and therefore verifiable.

You may request your personal data at any time for verification, and we will provide it to you in electronic form. If you request additional copies of the data we process, beyond the initial copy provided, a reasonable fee may be charged.

Rights granted by law and under the Privacy Policy must not violate the rights of others. The company reserves the right to deny or restrict access to personal data if such access would infringe the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Rectify Errors

Any errors in your personal data, whether due to omissions or inaccuracies, may be corrected by you or by the Company to ensure it can be processed properly.

Erasure Rights

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in the following circumstances. 1) If your personal data has been processed without your consent or in violation of applicable law. 2) When you ask for its removal and the Company has no legal obligation to retain it. 3) If you no longer consent to or accept any processing by us, even when lawful and based on our or a third party provider’s legitimate interests, and finally 4) If we are required by law to delete your data.

The right to deletion may be overridden by legal obligations under EU law or the laws of any Member State. Likewise, this applies where data is required for the exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to Restrict Data Processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted if you believe it contains inaccuracies.

Upon your request to restrict the processing of your personal data, it will be deleted except in the following circumstances: 1) where European Union or Member State law prevents deletion. 2) With your consent, when required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. 3) To protect the rights of another natural person.

Data Portability Rights

You have the right to access and review any personal data you have provided, if you have consented in any manner to its collection and its processing is performed by automated systems.

You have the right to request the transfer of any or all personal data to another company or organisation, where technically feasible. This does not affect your right to have your data deleted. This right cannot be exercised if doing so would infringe the rights or freedoms of another natural person.

Right to object to data processing

Notwithstanding the Company’s right to pursue its legitimate interests, and those of third-party service providers, you have the right to object to the processing and request that it cease. This right does not apply where there is a compelling legal need to continue processing, whether to defend against legal claims or to assert them. In such cases, we may continue processing your personal data.

You may at any time request that your personal data not be processed for any direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw or Refuse Consent

You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time, with immediate effect where feasible. This does not apply retroactively to processing carried out before you withdrew consent.

If you are dissatisfied for any reason, you have the right to lodge a complaint with any legal, regulatory, or other supervisory authority.

If you believe your rights and freedoms have been violated in relation to the processing of your personal data, each European Union Member State has established regulatory and supervisory authorities to address such issues. You may file a complaint with these authorities at your discretion.

Section 13 describes the circumstances in which your personal data rights may be limited under European Union or Member State laws.

Upon receiving your request concerning your personal data and its processing, we will provide access to the information you have requested, as outlined in Section 13 of this policy. We may extend this timeframe by up to two months, depending on the number of requests and the complexity of your request. If an extension is required, we will notify you of the extended deadline within one month of receiving your request.

We will provide the requested information electronically at no charge, unless doing so conflicts with applicable law or the provisions of Section 13. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse requests that are unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

We reserve the right to request additional proof of identity whenever there is reasonable doubt about the individual making a personal data request, for the purposes of data protection and security.
