Personal Data Protection and Privacy Policy (GDPR)

 

WHAT ARE PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data are any information, which refers to an identified or identifiable natural person. The different information that, together, can lead to the identification of a certain person is also personal data. Personal data that has been anonymized, encrypted or pseudonymized but can be used to identify a person remains personal data and is covered by the GDPR.
