The Company has developed this Policy taking into account the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The Company may request the User to provide additional documents or to complete additional procedures to make sure that he/she is already 18 years of age. If the Company has reasonable doubts about the User’s age, the Company may also contact his/her parents or guardians for the purpose of obtaining the consent or approval for the processing of the User’s personal data if he/she has not reached the appropriate age. In the course of clarifying the circumstances or obtaining consent or approval from the parents or guardians, the Company may restrict the processing of the User's data by temporarily blocking the account.

The Company receives the User’s personal data in several ways:

The Company may use the information provided in the messages to contact the User and provide him/her with a reply.
