Privacy Policy GymnaUniphy

1. General

GymnaUniphy N.V., having its registered office at Pasweg 6a, 3740 Bilzen and registered in the CBE with number 0434.768.252 (hereinafter referred to as " GymnaUniphy") finds the protection of privacy extremely important.  GymnaUniphy wants to inform, respect and give control to customers as much as possible about what happens to their data.  GymnaUniphy wants to manage and use its customer data in a secure and respectful way and as a good administrator to provide a better service to its customers and offer them the best possible experience.  GymnaUniphy therefore departs from the principle that everyone should have control over his or her personal data.  Below you will find information about which data GymnaUniphy collects, why, how long and how you have control over this.

GymnaUniphy invites its customers to take their time to read through this Privacy Policy, together with the Managed Hosting & Cloud Services General terms and conditions and any other conditions that may apply to its products and services.
