We ensure that these necessary requirements are incorporated into any assistive technologies and that third parties supporting the activity or processing have been informed.We keep your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary in order to fulfill the purposes defined from the present Privacy Policy unless longer period is required by the in force legislation.

We clarify that the provision of Data to our Company either may be necessary so as to achieve goals that are defined in the present Privacy Policy or may be optional.

The provision of additional Data to our Company, apart from those defined as mandatory, is optional and does not imply any consequences related to its main
purposes for data collection, however, it is useful for optimizing the quality of the provided services.

For example, these copies may include details on your full name, address, date of birth as well as your photo. If you provide a passport, then, the data will also include place of birth, gender, and nationality. Please keep in mind that if you choose not to share the Data with us or if you refuse certain contact rights, we may not be able to provide certain services requested.
