Why this Privacy Policy?
Every person who visits or uses the Website (hereafter: the “Visitor”) as well as every person who relies on our services (hereafter: the “Customer”) will in most cases disclose a certain amount of personal data. The personal data is information which allows T.S.I. to identify you as a natural person, regardless of whether we actually do this. You are identifiable as soon as it is possible to create a direct or indirect link between one or more data and you as a natural person. The Visitor and the Customer are hereinafter also jointly referred to as the "Data Subject".
We only use and process your personal data in accordance with the GDPR and any replacement legislation, or any similar regulation under any applicable law, and any regulatory requirements or codes of practice governing the use, storage or transmission of personal data. Every reference in this Privacy Policy to the ‘GDPR’ is a reference to the Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of such Data (General Data Protection Regulation).
Through this Privacy Policy, every User of the Website is informed of the processing activities T.S.I. may carry out with his or her personal data. T.S.I. reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at all times. Every substantial change will be clearly communicated towards the User. We advise you to consult this document regularly.
