In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this privacy policy complies with the following regulations.

Personal data must be:

2. collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes shall not be considered incompatible with the initial purposes, in accordance with Article 89(1) (purpose limitation);
3. adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (data minimization);
4. accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that inaccurate personal data are erased or rectified without delay (accuracy);
5. kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as they are processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1), subject to appropriate technical and organizational measures (storage limitation);
6. processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality).

Processing shall be lawful only if, and to the extent that, at least one of the following applies:

1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
3. processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
4. processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
5. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
6. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

For residents of the State of California, this privacy policy is intended to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If there are any inconsistencies between this document and the CCPA, state legislation shall apply. If we identify any inconsistencies, we will amend our policy to comply with the relevant law.
