Article 6. Who uses the data?
Your data is communicated to authorized people employed by GEEV (post-sales, marketing, and IT development) for the purposes stated in Article 4: Purposes of the processing.
Some of the personal data collected by GEEV will be shared with subcontractors to help GEEV carry out its activities.
These providers only have access to the data necessary to perform tasks on behalf of GEEV. They are contractually obliged to protect it and use it only for the purposes instructed and in accordance with this policy.
GEEV is committed to making sure that your personal data is not disseminated, communicated, exchanged or transferred to third parties, on any medium.
