The request to collect this data is always made clearly and unequivocally.
Below is a description of the type of data we collect, how it is processed and how it is useful for the products/services we provide. At the end of the text you can also consult your rights to information, correction and deletion of data.

ADF has invested in technical and organisational security measures to protect the personal data collected against inadvertent or intentional manipulation, loss or destruction and against access by unauthorised persons. Your personal information is stored on secure networks, in encrypted files that can only be accessed by a limited number of people who have special access rights and undertake to respect and maintain the confidential nature of such information. Notwithstanding these measures, when you provide personal information on the Internet, there is always a risk that it may be intercepted and used by third parties outside of ADF’s control. Whilst we make every effort to protect your personal information and your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you provide over the Internet.

4. Cookies
A cookie is a unique text file that a website sends to your browser software on the Internet. Our website may use cookies to personalise the information presented to you. This data contains no personal references and is automatically deleted when you close your browser. Please note that most web browsers are pre-programmed to accept cookies. If you want to visit our website without using cookies, you should change the appropriate setting in your browser options. However, if you set your browser to reject all cookies, this may limit the use of some features of our website.

5. Links to external sites
Our Privacy Policy applies exclusively to our website. However, the ADF website may contain links to partner websites. The link to these websites always presupposes a click by the user on the respective link, and the link is never automatic. It is absolutely impossible for ADF to guarantee that the data protection practices of these organisations comply with the law and our ethical requirements. Therefore, ADF cannot be held responsible for the content or privacy policy of other external websites, and their owners are solely responsible for any damage or unlawful situation that consultation of these websites may cause.
