We make sure that people who process personal data on a regular basis or who have permanent access to it, as well as those who work on developing technologies for processing personal data, are instructed on their duties and are aware of their rights.

We have put in place the necessary security procedures and certifications to safeguard your personal information and guard against unauthorised access.
