We do not intentionally collect or process any special categories of Personal Data, also referred to as sensitive data. These include information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as genetic data, biometric data used for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person, and data concerning health, a person’s sex life, or sexual orientation. We do not process data relating to criminal convictions and offences, unless such processing is expressly authorized by Union or Member State law or conducted under the control of an official authority, in accordance with Article 10 GDPR. The processing of such data is strictly prohibited unless one of the exceptions provided under Article 9(2) of the GDPR applies. Any processing of special categories of Personal Data will be carried out with the highest level of protection and in compliance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, and data minimization.

If the processing of Personal Data is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. When processing is based on our legitimate interests, we ensure that such interests are balanced against your rights and freedoms. You can object to such processing at any time.

Some of our service providers and partners may be located outside the European Economic Area. Where we transfer Personal Data to a country for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision (such as the United Kingdom, Canada, or Japan), we rely on that decision as the legal basis for transfer. For transfers to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission, where applicable, additional technical and organizational safeguards (such as data encryption, pseudonymization, and strict access control).

If such a transfer occurs, Users can obtain additional information by contacting the Owner via the contact information provided in the section titled "Contact."
