Privacy Policy
Data privacy is of high importance for MEP and we want to be open and transparent with our processing of your personal data.
We therefore have a policy setting out how your personal data will be processed and protected.
Who is the controller of your personal data?
MEP is the controller of the personal data you submit to us and responsible for your personal data under applicable data protection law.
Where do we store your data?
The data is stored within our secure server within the company premises and is stored within the European Economic Area (“EEA”)
Who can access your data?
Your data may be shared within MEP, but we never pass on, sell or swap your data for marketing purposes to third parties outside our business.
Data that is forwarded to third parties, is only used to provide you with our services. You will find categories of third parties under every specific process below.
What is the legal ground for processing?
For every specific process of personal data we collect from you, we will inform you whether the provision of personal data is statutory or required to enter a contract and whether it is an obligation to provide the personal data and possible consequences if you choose not to.
What are your rights?
