Who has access to your data?

Your data are accessible only to in-house personnel who may need them to perform their duties.

The data collected may be communicated, insofar as needed, to third parties (partners, subcontractors, and service providers).

In the event that we transfer your data to countries where the level of protection of personal data has not been recognized as sufficient by the European Commission, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are applied to protect your personal data (e.g., binding corporate rules or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission).
