The Company processes Personal Data to safeguard legitimate interests, which may include business, commercial, or legal reasons. Such interests must not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of Visitors. Examples of processing activities include:
- Initiating or defending legal proceedings;
- Ensuring IT and system security, preventing crime, and managing access controls;
- Developing and improving the Company’s products and services;

Visitors have the right to request the erasure of their Personal Data under specific circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose, consent is withdrawn, or processing is unlawful. However, this right is not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.
12. Exceptions to Erasure Requests
The Company may refuse erasure requests if the data is processed to comply with legal obligations, perform public interest tasks, or exercise or defend legal claims.
13. Geographical Processing
While Personal Data is typically processed within the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), it may be transferred outside these regions with appropriate safeguards and legal bases. Visitors may request further details about such transfers.
