PRIVACY POLICIES
SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
This policy describes the processing of information provided or collected on the sites and applications on which it is published, whether on our digital properties or in applications that we provide through third-party sites or platforms. It also describes the processing of information belonging to our call centers. We adhere to this privacy policy in accordance with applicable laws in the locations in which we operate. In some cases we may provide additional data privacy notices specifically for certain products, practices or regions. Such terms should be read in conjunction with this policy.
Please note that when you provide information to us on a third party site or platform (for example, through our applications), the information you provide may be collected independently by such site or platform. The information we collect is covered by this privacy policy, while the information collected by a third-party site or platform is subject to the privacy practices of that site or platform. Any privacy decisions you make on a third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of information we collect directly through our applications. Please note that our sites and apps may contain links to other sites that we do not own or control, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our sites or apps and to read the privacy policies of other sites that may collect your personal information.
