How do we maintain the security of your personal data?
We use a variety of security measures, including authentication tools, encryption, and digital certificates to help protect and maintain the security, integrity, and availability of your personal information.

Among others, we have implemented the following:
•Protection of information technology systems through firewalls, in order to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data

For the purposes described in this Privacy Policy (marketing and customer service), your personal data will be retained from the collection of your consent or the last contact made (whichever occurs last) and if, within this period, you have not withdrawn your consent. Your personal data is stored on the protected servers of our suppliers/service providers, being accessed and used exclusively under our policies and standards (or equivalent policies and standards of our suppliers/service providers).
How to change or remove your consent?
At any time, you may change or withdraw your consent, with effect for the future. Upon complete removal of your consent statements, you will no longer be contacted and receive communications for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
