Right to object – you have the right to object at any time to our processing of your personal data if you have a valid reason. Unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for further processing, we shall stop processing your personal data. This right also enables you to require from us that we stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Complaints – you may make a complaint to the relevant data protection regulator under the conditions from GDPR.
Since your privacy is very important to us, therefore, if you have any question regarding your rights or the circumstances in which these rights are applicable, please contact us here.

- PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We take security seriously and take numerous precautions to protect the security of personal data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies which do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the Site, and are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.
8.1. Protection of personal data under EU legislation
If you are located in the European Union, the following safety measures are also provided for securing your personal information.
Security measures: Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented to ensure that, by default, the only personal data processed are those, which are necessary for each specific purpose of processing. This applies to the quantity, the extent of the processing, the period of storage and the accessibility of the collected personal data. With such measures, we try to ensure that personal data are not made accessible to an indefinite number of persons without your intervention.
In case of a personal breach: If a personal data breach occurs we shall without undue delay, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the supervisory authority. This does not apply when the personal data breach is unlikely to resolve in risk to your rights and freedoms. In case of a risk to your rights and freedoms due to a personal data breach, we shall also inform you without undue delay. This does not apply to situations where we have implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures that were applied to the personal data affected by the breach or if our subsequent measures ensure that the risk is no longer likely to materialize. It also does not apply when it would involve disproportionate effort. In the described cases we shall inform you through public communication or similar way in an equally effective manner.
