1. Why this privacy statement?
Every person who uses the Website and every customer (hereafter the "User") discloses a certain amount of personal data. These personal data are information which allows us to identify you as a natural person, regardless of whether we actually do this. You are identifiable as soon as it is possible to create a direct or indirect link between one or more personal data and you as a natural person.
We use and process your personal data in accordance with the GDPR and other relevant legal provisions. Every reference in this Privacy Statement to the GDPR is a reference to the Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation).
Through this Privacy Statement, every User of the Website is informed of the processing activities KT-Group may carry out with his or her personal data. KT-Group reserves the right to modify this Privacy statement at all times. Every substantial change will be clearly communicated towards the User. We advise the User to consult this document regularly.

KT-Group is responsible for the processing and decides alone or in cooperation with others which personal data are being collected as well as the purpose and the means with regard to the processing of those personal data.
2.2. Processor(s)
KT-Group is free to rely on data processors. A processor is a natural or legal person who processes personal data upon request or on behalf of the data controller. The processor is required to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal data. The processor shall always act on the instructions of the data controller.
The categories of « processors » on which KT-Group relies on are companies that we rely on for hosting purposes and administrative purposes.

Furthermore, the data that we collect via the contact form on the Website are only used to respond to your question and are not kept longer than necessary.
