Cookie and Privacy Policy – Privacy Statement

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) concerns the management and security of European citizens’ personal data. Since May 2018, organisations must be able to demonstrate which personal data they collect, how they use it and how they protect it. We keep the data we collect through the website (Premium Membership card, a response via an email form, etc.) to the minimum necessary, solely to provide you with the service offered or the benefit promised. Your data is not shared with other organisations.

Right to access, correct or delete your data

If your request concerns access to personal data linked to a cookie, you must include a copy of that cookie. You can find it in your browser settings.
