At the data subject’s request (as determined in section 3), we will delete or anonymize their personal data in a way that does not identify them, except in cases where it is legally permitted or required to keep certain personal data, including situations such as:

In a possible situation where we as the controller or operator of personal data breach the protection of such data in a way that poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, we will notify individuals of this as soon as possible.
From time to time, we may make unilateral changes to this Policy. In such cases, appropriate communication will always be sent regarding the changes.
