How do we protect your personal data?

We have established the security in accordance with the GDPR principles. The measures taken are technical and organizational measures relating to data security in order to guarantee an adequate level of protection regarding confidentiality, integrity, availability of the data and resilience of the systems.

Technical measures are those that directly involve the IT system. Organizational measures, on the other hand, are related to the system’s environment and processes; and particularly to the people using it. The combination of both types of measures can prevent data from being destroyed or lost by mistakes, fakes and unauthorized access from occurring.

These measures are part of the life cycle of our organisation and are implemented at every level of the system. Furthermore, security is an ongoing process, not a static element. In this perspective, the technical and organizational measures are subject to technical progress and further development as risks and threats do.
