Privacy Policy
1) Introduction
At Springtime, data protection is a top priority. We strictly adhere to the data protection laws of all countries where we operate. To ensure a uniform and high standard of data protection across our entire organization, we have implemented comprehensive internal data protection policies. Our employees are legally and contractually required to follow both statutory and internal data protection regulations and to handle your data confidentially.
We have extensive operational, technical, and organizational security measures in place to safeguard your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. These security measures are regularly reviewed and continuously updated to keep pace with technological advancements.
In accordance with the principle of data minimization, we will only process personal data if it is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or for the fulfilment of a purpose you have requested. There is no disclosure of your personal information to third parties (including third countries and international organizations), unless this is necessary and not without your consent.
