Cookies and other tracking technologies

We use cookies, tags, pixels, web beacons and other similar technologies in order to improve your experience on our website and our applications. On your first visit to our website or our applications, we will ask for your consent to use non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the website to work, do not require your consent. For more information about the specific cookies we use, their purposes and how to manage your preferences, please see our Cookie Policy.

Data security

We give priority to the security of your personal data and put robust measures in place to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, theft and misuse. Our security strategy combines administrative, technical and physical security measures designed to protect your data from unauthorised disclosure, alteration and destruction. Even though we use advanced security measures to protect your data, no system is completely safe from security breaches. The Internet, by its very nature, cannot guarantee complete security in the transmission or the storage of data. While we work hard to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We will, however, constantly assess and improve our security practices in order to strengthen the protection of your data.

Transfer of data outside the EU/EEA

We may process your personal data in countries outside the EU/EEA. When we transfer your personal data to our affiliates or to third parties, we make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place before that transfer, so that your personal data is granted a high standard of protection. This includes transferring personal data only to countries recognised by the European Commission as providing adequate protection, which use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or put other legally recognised safeguards in place.

Change of ownership or control

In the event of a sale, merger or any other change of ownership or control of our company, your personal data may be disclosed as part of the transaction or while preparing for such an event. The new owner or controlling entity will be entitled to use your personal data, but only in accordance with the terms set out in this Privacy Policy, unless you give explicit consent to a different use.
