Exceptional and/or sensitive personal data that we process
It is not our intention to collect data via our website and/or service on website visitors who are younger than 16 years of age. Unless they have permission from their parents or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is over 16 years of age. We therefore recommend that parents are involved in their children’s online activities in order to prevent data from being collected about children without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal information about a minor without such consent, please contact us at contact@progresscommunications.eu. We will then delete this information.
