Privacy Policy

We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to Kitesurf Adventure. The use of Kitesurf Adventure's websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as a data subject's name, address, email address, or telephone number, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Kitesurf Adventure. With this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.

As the data controller, Kitesurf Adventure has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for personal data processed via this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Kitesurf Adventure is based on the terms used by the European legislator when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data to limit its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Data Controller
The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data within a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

j) Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and those who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, through a statement or a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and Address of the Data Controller

The controller, in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other data protection-related provisions, is:

Kitesurf Adventure e.K.
Gartenstraße 24
89564 Nattheim
Germany

Phone: +49 (0)7321 4880800
Email: info(kwfat)kitesurf-adventure(kwfdot)com
Website: www.gardasee-kiteschule.de

 

3. Cookies

The websites of Kitesurf Adventure use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to a specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific Internet browser can thus be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Kitesurf Adventure can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make the use of our website easier for users. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials each time they visit the website, as this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time through a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

Each time the website of Kitesurf Adventure is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a series of general data and information is collected. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following data may be collected:

1. The browser types and versions used,

2. The operating system used by the accessing system,

3. The website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

4. The subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system,

5. The date and time of access to the website,

6. An Internet Protocol address (IP address),

7. The Internet service provider of the accessing system, and

8. Other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, Kitesurf Adventure does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to:

1. Deliver the contents of our website correctly,

2. Optimize the contents of our website and advertising for it,

3. Ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and

4. Provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

Therefore, Kitesurf Adventure evaluates this anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The specific personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes.

The controller may arrange for the transfer of personal data to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for an internal purpose attributable to the controller. In the case of a reservation request for accommodation at the Bella Vista campsite or Hotel Drago, forwarding data to our accommodation partners is necessary for processing the booking. The data subject must explicitly consent to the transfer of their data to the respective operator by selecting a checkbox before submitting the input form. The data is only forwarded to the following operators:

• Camping & Apartments Bellavista, Via Gardesana 4, 37018 Cassone di Malcesine (VR)

• Apartment Hotel June Stay, Via Gardesana 56, 37010 Assenza di Brenzone (VR)

Additionally, by registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration, are stored. The storage of this data is necessary to prevent misuse of our services and to ensure that these data allow investigation in case of criminal offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is required for the protection of the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or if it serves law enforcement purposes.

The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify or completely delete the personal data provided during registration at any time.

Upon request, the controller provides any data subject with information about what personal data is stored about them. Furthermore, the controller corrects or deletes personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no legal retention obligations. The data protection officer named in this privacy policy and the entire staff of the controller are available as contact persons in this regard.

6. Contact Option via the Website

The Kitesurf Adventure website contains legal information that enables a quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us. This includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the responsible party via email or through a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the responsible party will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. These personal data will not be shared with third parties.

7. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The responsible party processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the responsible party is subject.

When the storage purpose no longer applies or a prescribed storage period according to European or other relevant legislation expires, the personal data will routinely and according to legal requirements be blocked or deleted.

8. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the responsible party as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they can contact an employee of the responsible party at any time.

b) Right to Access

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request free information about the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this information. In addition, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

• The purposes of the processing

• The categories of personal data being processed

• The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, especially for recipients in third countries or international organizations

• The planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration

• The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as per Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and - at least in such cases - meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

To exercise the right to access, the data subject may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the responsible party at any time.

c) Right to Rectification

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the completion of incomplete personal data - including by means of a supplementary statement.

To exercise the right to rectification, the data subject can contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the responsible party at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies and processing is not required:

• The personal data were collected or processed for purposes that are no longer necessary.

• The data subject withdraws their consent, on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and no other legal basis for processing exists.

• The data subject objects to the processing according to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing according to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

• The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

• The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under EU or Member State law to which the responsible party is subject.

• The personal data were collected in relation to the offered services of the information society according to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If any of the above reasons apply and the data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Kitesurf Adventure, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the responsible party at any time. The Data Protection Officer or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is promptly followed.

If the personal data were made public by Kitesurf Adventure and the company is responsible for erasing the personal data according to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, Kitesurf Adventure will take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, as long as processing is not necessary. The Data Protection Officer or another employee will take the necessary steps in each case.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the restriction of processing by the responsible party if one of the following applies:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period that enables the responsible party to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

• The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.

• The responsible party no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject needs them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

• The data subject has objected to the processing as per Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the responsible party override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and the data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Kitesurf Adventure, they can contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee at any time. The Data Protection Officer or another employee will initiate the restriction of processing.

9. Data Protection for Applications and the Application Process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. This processing may also occur electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits application documents electronically, for example via email or through a web form on the website. If the data controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in accordance with legal regulations. If the data controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision has been communicated, unless there are other legitimate interests of the data controller that prevent deletion. Other legitimate interests in this context include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

10. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Deployment of Facebook

The data controller has integrated components from Facebook, Inc. on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online platform that allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allow the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users to create personal profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.

The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For the processing of personal data, the responsible entity is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, if the affected person resides outside the USA or Canada.

Every time a page of this website that is operated by the data controller and includes a Facebook component (Facebook plugin) is accessed, the internet browser on the affected person's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the relevant Facebook component from Facebook. A general overview of all Facebook plugins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. As part of this technical procedure, Facebook becomes aware of which specific page of our website is being visited by the affected person.

If the affected person is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website and throughout the entire duration of the visit, which specific page of our website the affected person is visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the affected person's Facebook account. If the affected person clicks one of the integrated Facebook buttons, such as the "Like" button, or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the person's personal Facebook user account and stores the personal data.

Facebook receives information that the affected person has visited our website every time the affected person accesses our website while logged into Facebook, regardless of whether the person interacts with the Facebook component. If the affected person does not want this data to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent it by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.

The Facebook data policy, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the privacy settings that Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the affected person.

11. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Deployment of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis involves the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about which website a visitor came from (so-called referrer), which subpages were accessed, or how often and for how long a particular subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and to perform a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" add-on for web analysis through Google Analytics. This add-on shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the affected person's internet connection when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the usage of our website, compile online reports showing the activities on our website, and provide additional services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the affected person's IT system. As explained above, cookies are used to enable Google to analyze the use of our website. With each visit to a page on our website that contains a Google Analytics component, the respective Google Analytics component prompts the internet browser on the affected person's IT system to send data to Google for online analysis. In this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the affected person's IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and to enable commission billing.

Through the cookie, personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which access occurred, and the frequency of visits to our website by the affected person, is stored. These personal data, including the IP address of the affected person's internet connection, are transmitted to Google in the USA every time our website is visited. These personal data are stored by Google in the USA. Google may share this personal data with third parties.

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies on our website at any time by adjusting the settings in their internet browser and thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. This would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the affected person's IT system. In addition, any cookie already placed by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Further, the affected person has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the affected person must download and install the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded as an objection by Google. If the affected person's IT system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the affected person must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the affected person or someone under their control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable privacy policies of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. More detailed information about Google Analytics is available at https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/analytics/.

12. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Deployment of Google AdWords

The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to predefine certain keywords that will trigger the display of an ad when a user queries a relevant search result on Google. Ads in the Google advertising network are displayed on relevant websites using an automated algorithm based on the predefined keywords.

The operator of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying relevant ads on third-party websites and in Google's search engine results, as well as displaying third-party ads on our website.

If an affected person reaches our website via a Google Ad, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on the affected person's IT system. As explained above, cookies are used for this purpose. A conversion cookie expires after 30 days and does not identify the affected person. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie tracks whether specific subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online store, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a person who arrived at our website via an AdWords ad made a purchase or aborted the transaction.

The data and information collected by the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to generate visit statistics for our website. These statistics are used by us to determine the total number of users who were directed to us via AdWords ads, in order to evaluate the success or failure of individual AdWords ads and to optimize our future AdWords ads. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could identify the affected person.

Through the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the subpages visited by the affected person, is stored. Therefore, each visit to our website results in the transmission of personal data, including the IP address of the affected person's internet connection, to Google in the United States. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States. Google may share these personal data with third parties.

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies on our website, as described above, by adjusting the settings in their internet browser and thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. This would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the affected person's IT system. Furthermore, any conversion cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Moreover, the affected person has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the affected person must visit the link www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings.

Further information and the applicable privacy policies of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

13. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use of YouTube

The data controller has integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips for free, and other users to view, rate, and comment on these videos. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, including full-length films, TV shows, music videos, trailers, or videos created by users themselves, which can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operator of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

When a user visits one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and contains a YouTube component (YouTube video), the internet browser on the user's IT system automatically downloads the representation of the respective YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During this technical procedure, YouTube and Google become aware of which specific page of our website the user visits.

If the user is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube can recognize with each page view which specific page of our website the user visits. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the user's respective YouTube account.

YouTube and Google always receive information about the user visiting our website if the user is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the user clicks on a YouTube video. If the user does not wish to transmit such information to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides details on how personal data is collected, processed, and used by YouTube and Google.

14. Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing activities where consent is obtained for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing activities that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, personal data processing may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case if, for example, a visitor were to be injured in our premises, and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information would need to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations may be based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal grounds if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing activities are specifically allowed by the European legislator, who considered that a legitimate interest could be presumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

15. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

16. Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The criteria for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the retention period expires, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, unless it is still necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

17. Legal or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for Contractual Performance; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Potential Consequences of Not Providing Personal Data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (e.g., details of the contracting partner). In certain cases, it may be necessary to provide personal data for the conclusion of a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, they must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contractually necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and what consequences would result from the failure to provide personal data.

18. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
