Below is an overview of the personal data we process:

Work-related information, such as job title or education information;
Account information, such as passwords and other security information for authentication and access to your account on our website. Your password is stored and encrypted, so we will not be able to retrieve it;

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data on website visitors who are under 16 years of age. Unless they have permission from parents or guardians.

We therefore recommend that parents be involved in their children’s online activities, in order to prevent the collection of data about children without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data on a minor without that permission, please contact us at [email protected], and we will delete this information.
