Personal data is only available to authorised employees who hold a position that requires them to process personal data in order to carry out their work. Personal data is not processed longer than is required for the purpose in question. We comply with legal obligations and our internal retention guidelines. Skippo has taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data so that only authorized persons have access to the personal data.

Our international transfers of personal data are based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which you can find here.
