 Welcome to our privacy policy. This is our plan of action when it comes to protecting your privacy. We respect your
 privacy and take the protection of personal data very seriously. The purpose of this policy is to describe the way that
 we collect, store, use, and protect data that can be associated with you or another specific natural or juristic person
 and can be used to identify you or that person (personal data).
