Therefore, anonymous information, information that has been anonymized, and other data that cannot be linked to a specific person are not considered personal data within the scope of this Privacy Policy. Data processing refers to any operation that can be performed on personal data, such as obtaining, recording, storing, preserving, modifying, reorganizing, disclosing, transferring, acquiring, making available, classifying, or preventing the use of personal data, whether wholly or partly automated or non-automated, provided that it is part of a data recording system.

Compliance with the law and rules of fairness,
