As a result, we would like you to understand how we collect, process and use personal data.

Special Notice - if you are under 18 years old
Our website is not aimed at children under 18 years old and we will not collect, use, provide or process in any other form any personal data of children under the age of 18 deliberately. We therefore also ask you, if you are under 18 years old, please do not send us your personal data (for example, your name, address and email address). If you are under 18 years old and you nevertheless wish to ask a question or use this website in any way which requires you to submit your personal data, please get your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf.

If at any time you wish us to stop using your personal data for any or all of the above purposes, please contact us as set out below. We will stop the use of your personal data for such purposes as soon as it is reasonably possible to do so.
In addition, the collected personal data may be transferred to selected third parties, which may be located outside of the Economic European Area (“EEA”) as part of the services offered to you through our site. By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EEA or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of the EEA. These third parties will be obligated not to use your personal data for any other purposes than what we have agreed with you. We request those third parties to implement adequate levels of protection in order to safeguard your personal data. We respect your personal data and therefore, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected if we transfer your personal data outside of the EEA in this way. In addition, if you use our services while you are outside the EEA, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with those services.
Except as set out in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose any personally identifiable data without your permission unless we are legally entitled or required to do so (for example, if required to do so by legal process or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime) or if we believe that such action is necessary to protect and/or defend our rights, property or personal safety and those of our users/customers or other individuals. Please be assured that we will not use your personal data for other purposes or in a way you have indicated that you do not wish us to use when the data are submitted or when updated at a later date.
The personal data we collect will only be used for the purpose of supplying you with requested services, or for other purposes for which you have given your consent, except where otherwise provided by law.
We aim to keep your personal data as accurate as possible. If you would like to review, change or delete the details you have supplied us with, please contact us as set out below.
We have implemented technology and policies with the objective of protecting your personal data from unauthorized access and improper use and will update these measures as new technology becomes available, as appropriate.
We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary for us to render a service you have requested or to which you have given your consent, except where otherwise provided by law (e.g. in connection with pending litigation).
