Our commitment is to provide clear and concise information regarding the types of data we gather, the purposes behind it, and the duration for which it remains in our systems.
Should you decide to inquire about the deletion or restriction of data stemming from cookie usage, our processes are designed to verify your identity and fulfill your request promptly, within the legally mandated timeframes.
