Since the Operator works without hired employees, all measures to protect personal data are carried out personally by them:

  • If it is necessary to involve contractors (e.g., hosting technical support) to resolve purely technical issues, access to personal data databases is not provided: contractors have access only to the servers themselves, not to the database contents encrypted with the Operator's own key.

8.2. All listed contractors process personal data exclusively on behalf of the Operator, based on concluded agreements (or user agreements with the respective services), and are obligated to maintain confidentiality, not disclose or use the obtained data for other purposes.
