Data processing principles
We are committed to ensuring that your personal data will be processed in a fair and transparent manner, according to the legal framework, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In plain terms, this means that:
- We process your data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes (purpose limitation)
- We process only data which are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes set (data minimisation)
- We make every effort in order to ensure that your data are accurate (accuracy)
- We keep your data in a form which permits your identification for no longer than is necessary for the purposes set (storage limitation).
- We make every effort in order to ensure the security of your data (integrity and confidentiality).
In order to ensure the protection of your data, the Company takes all appropriate technical and organisational measures, trains its staff and uses technologies which ensure the security of your data (for example SSL certificate, encryption, certified hosting providers).
We monitor the security measures on a regular basis and, if deemed necessary, we align them with the new best practises.

Typically, access is permitted to authorized members of the Company staff, who process your data in a strictly confidential manner, and only to the extent and in the context of the purposes which you have already been informed about.
