Privacy policy

With the development of technologies and ways of delivering goods and services, including through the Internet, protection of personal data is becoming more and important.

Personal data is any information with which an individual can be identified (name, email address, phone number, IP address, etc.), which in itself means that there is almost no activity in which personal data is not processed, respectively, that there is no risk to these data.

Personal data protection is important for both users and website owners who are personal data controllers. It is important to mention that it is the primary duty of controllers to respect the privacy of individuals and to inform them about the purpose for processing of their personal data, whether the personal data is provided to third parties, how the data is protected against unlawful processing, etc. In other words, website owners are committed to protecting the personal data of users on the website by applying all the standards under the current legislation, which is reflected both at a national and European level, respectively in the Bulgarian Data Protection Act and Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).

Owners of websites are obliged to implement a Privacy Policy on their website that will further regulate their relations with the users on the website regarding the way the personal data of Users will be processed.
