We implement appropriate physical, technological and organizational protection measures to prevent the loss, misappropriation or modification of data under our responsibility. For example:
We train our employees to comply with this Privacy Policy and conduct monitoring activities to ensure ongoing compliance and evaluate the effectiveness of our privacy management practices.
We also reduce the amount of data accessible, transmitted or disclosed to partners to the amount necessary to achieve the partner’s objectives or perform the partner’s specific tasks. We ensure that your data is accessible and usable only by partners, and that it is transmitted or disclosed only to partners who need to know that data.

Printed copies of any documents containing your Data (if any) are also kept in a secure environment.
We destroy printed copies of documents containing your data that are no longer required. When destroying data recorded and stored in the form of digital files that are no longer useful, we take care to use an erasure technique (e.g. low-level formatting) that prevents them from being recovered. Laptops, USB sticks, cell phones and other wireless electronic devices used by our employees who have access to your data are secured. We encourage employees not to store your data on these devices unless reasonably necessary to perform a specific task as described in this Privacy Policy.
Any subcontractor we use is contractually obliged to maintain and protect your data using measures similar to those described in this Privacy Policy or required by applicable data protection legislation.
Where required by applicable law, any breach of security resulting in the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or accidental or unlawful access to data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, will be notified to you and the relevant data protection authority as required (for example, unless the data is unintelligible to anyone or the breach is not likely to jeopardize your rights and freedoms and those of others).
