In our privacy policy we take all measures necessary to ensure the safety of the use of the personal data we collect. Your personal data are processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You can access most pages on our website without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. Our web servers collect anonymous logs during user visits to our website which provide valuable information for improving it in the future.

We may receive information about you if you use any of the other websites operated by us or other communication channels such as our newsletter. In this case, we will have informed you when we collected that data that it may be shared internally and combined with data collected on this website.

3. How do we use your data?

We may use the information about you:

  • to improve our services;
  • to provide you with services, products or information you have requested;
  • to provide you with information about future events and products and services we think may be of interest to you, including third party events, products and services;
  • to notify you about changes to our services, as part of our efforts to keep our site safe and secure.

We may share the information listed in point c of Section 2 with our service providers where necessary for the purposes described above.

We may use personal information you entered in one of our online forms, in order to contact you even if you do not “send” or “submit” the form. We will only do this to see if we can help with any problems you might be experiencing with the form or with our website.

4. Your rights

You have the right to request information about our use of your information or opt-out of certain uses. When we asked for your consent to processing your personal data, you can at any time decide to withdraw that consent.
