We focus on the security of your data in order to protect our users from unauthorised access, alteration or destruction of data or unauthorised disclosure of your information which is in our possession.

Your data will be processed within the European Union.

The Frulact Group’s business activity may imply the transfer of your personal data to third countries, located outside the European Union or which do not belong to the European Economic Area, even if only sporadically and always within a relationship established with other services used by the Group.

In such situations, all the necessary and appropriate measures will be adopted to ensure your personal data are protected.

One of these situations concerns the presence of the Frulact Group on the social networks, where we have a limited influence on the processing of data carried out by the operators of these networks (e.g. relative to the management of members and management of the general information – profile). In situations where we have influence, we try to ensure, as far as possible, that the operators of the social networks act in accordance with the data privacy and protection requirements established by the GDPR. However, in many cases, we have no influence on the processing of the data carried out by operators and we have no clear knowledge of the data that are being processed in certain situations.

The operators of the social networks manage the entire IT infrastructure of the service, applying their own data safety, privacy and protection rules, and also maintain their own relationships with the users (insofar as the users are registered in their social network). Furthermore, the operators are fully responsible for all questions related to the data of the user profiles that the Frulact Group does not have access to.

For more information about the data processing that is carried out by the operator of the social networks, read the respective Privacy Policies:

• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/our-commitments/protecting-user-data/
• Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/privacy

In relation to the use of the social network platforms, your personal data shall be processed and stored in servers located in third countries, especially in the USA. For this processing, the operators of the social networks in question shall be the sole controllers, as established and defined in the above-mentioned policies.

• Learning about the performance of our website, allowing us to update and improve it to meet the expectations of our users/visitors. Each visitor corresponds to an individual cookie, thus guaranteeing the privacy and security of the data. The presentation of statistical data is carried out in aggregate form, so as not to enable the identification of individual visitors.

For more detailed information, please read our Cookie Policy.
