Data Controller shall give its users clear, noticeable and unambiguous warning before capturing, recording or handling any of their data (privacy statement) to provide them with information on the method used for capturing their data, for what purposes and in accordance with what principles. Furthermore, the Data Controller shall call the user’s attention to the voluntary nature of data disclosure. Data Subject shall be informed about the purpose of data processing, as well as the identity of the person(s) who manage and process the data. The Data Controller’s entire staff and senior officers are entitled to the access data processed by the Data Controller. The requirement to provide information on data processing is also deemed fulfilled when applicable laws govern data to be captured by transfer from an already existing data processing pool or by linking existing databases. Whenever the Data Controller intends to use provided data for purposes other than determined when the data was originally captured, it shall inform the User of those purposes accordingly and obtain the User’s prior express consent; the Data Controller shall also ensure that User may opt to prohibit use of its data for such other purposes.

Data Controller shall, without fail, adhere to the restrictions stipulated under Basic Principles when capturing, recording, and processing data, and it shall keep the Data Subject informed of its activities via electronic correspondence, at the Data Subject’s request. The Data Controller shall refrain from imposing any sanctions against users who decline to provide requested non-mandatory information.

The Data Controller shall keep the data it processes secure and adopt technical and organisational measures and formulate procedural rules as may be necessary for ensuring that the data captured, stored, and processed is protected;

The Data Controller shall prevent destruction, unlawful use and unlawful alteration of the data it processes.

Data Controller shall notify any third party to whom it may transfer or disclose data, as the case may be, of their obligations to the above.

Whereas N …. does not offer any services designed for individuals aged under 18, it represents and warrants that it does not collect or handle personal data on individuals aged under 18.

As a general rule, users visiting our website are not obligated to disclose their identity and provide personal data of any kind. When providing their name and email address, users may, as a matter of course, opt not to enter their real name but provide an alias instead. Data and information suitable for personal identification shall be construed as personal data of natural persons that can be used to identify an individual, to communicate with them, or to identify their physical location, including but not limited to their name, residential address, postal address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address.

Anonymous information collected by eliminating personal traceability does not constitute personal data as it cannot be linked to a natural person, nor does demographic data constitute personal data when it is collected without linking it to personal data of identifiable individuals, and therefore no connection can be made to natural persons. As a general principle, whenever we ask our visitors for personal information, they are free to decide whether they want to provide the requested information after having read and interpreted the necessary written information. However, it must be noted that, if an individual decides not to share their personal data, they may not be able to use a service that is conditional on the disclosure of personal data.

This Privacy Policy is in regard to protecting the personal data of visitors provided to the Data Controller, i.e. not in regard to their data intended for the public domain. Should an individual voluntarily decide to make all or some of his or her personal data public, then such information shall not be covered by the scope of this Privacy Policy. We always make it clear which information fields are ‘mandatory’ to complete during the registration process, for what purpose and under what terms and conditions such information will be used. The term ‘mandatory’ in this case refers not to the mandatory nature of providing the requested data but indicates that there are certain records without the completion of which registration will not be successful, in other words, leaving certain fields blank or not completing them properly may lead to rejected registration.

Without authorisation, under no circumstances shall we transfer to third parties any personal data provided by our users. If the service provider is requested by any competent authority to provide any personal data in line with applicable laws (e.g. in connection with a suspected crime, or under an official court resolution ordering the confiscation of data), the Data Controller will hand over the requested and available information in accordance with its statutory obligation.

Whenever our users make available their personal data to us, we shall take all necessary measures to keep those personal data safe both during the course of network communication (i.e. online data processing) and during the course of data storage and safekeeping (i.e. offline data processing). It is the Data Controller’s responsibility to ensure that visitors can access, correct and supplement their own personal data through the same communication channels and by using the same means through which they shared their personal data with us in the first place. This is meant to ensure that the personal data of our users are always up-to-date, accurate and current. Should any of our users ask us to remove their personal data from our systems, we shall promptly oblige (on the understanding that thenceforth that user will, in some cases, no longer be able to use the service to which the data was relevant, or not in the same way as before).

By registering and by using the service, users grant their consent for … to view the conversations carried out on the communication channels it provides (chat) and to know the conversations and statements made by users therein. In case of online payment, the Data Controller may, for the purpose of providing customer service assistance to users, confirming transactions, and to analyse cases of fraud, disclose the email address, name, and telephone number linked to the user profile to the payment service provider.
