Our employees and business partners assign great importance to the protection of your personal information and have adopted this privacy policy, which has been drafted to comply with current legal standards regarding the protection of personal information.

In particular, the following measures are in place to ensure your information is protected:
1. Collecting, using and retaining personal information

Either before or when we collect information about you, we will explain how we intend to use it. We will limit the information we collect to what we need for those purposes, and we will use it only for those purposes. We will obtain your consent before collecting information about you from third parties, such as from your accountant, lawyer or from financial institutions. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you may do so at any time by advising us in writing.
We retain your information only as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected.
