General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our Privacy Policy

The European regulation GDPR 2016/679 is the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of personal data. 

This regulation is an essential step to strengthen the fundamental rights of individuals in the digital age and facilitate business by clarifying the rules for companies and public bodies in the digital single market. A single law will also eliminate the current fragmentation between different national systems and unnecessary administrative burdens.

a.  Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; all reasonable steps should be taken to ensure that personal data which are inaccurate, in relation to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay;

b.  Retained in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be retained for longer periods insofar as the personal data are processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes, provided that appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the GDPR are implemented to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals; and

c. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures."
