It is however certified through the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and subscriber data is processed securely and appropriately in line with the legal requirements of the European Union.
No third parties have access to your personal data unless the law allows them to do so.
We have a Data Protection policy in place to oversee the effective and secure processing of your personal data.
