Privacy and Cookie Policy

This privacy policy is intended to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with this data. This is important not only to ensure the security of your personal data but also to ensure that Carl C. A/S complies with all conditions regarding the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into effect on May 25, 2018.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

GDPR establishes new frameworks for how personal data is processed and how we address the right to privacy. The purpose of the GDPR is to strengthen and unify data protection rules and rights for the benefit of EU citizens. It applies to all EU organizations and organizations outside the EU (of any size) that provide goods and services to the EU or use tracking technologies (such as cookies or tracking pixels) to monitor the behavior of EU users.

This website, like many others, uses cookies. Cookies ensure that we can provide a better user experience in the website's features. Many features on the website depend on the use and storage of cookies, and therefore, you cannot expect the website to function properly if you disable cookies.

Similarly, we treat combined information as personal information in connection with this privacy policy to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information.
