Compado takes the protection of personal user data seriously and complies with the applicable data protection regulations. Personal user data is any data that is identifiable to a particular person, for example, name, postal and email address, and usage data on this website. Compado will only process your personal data if the law permits or if you have given your consent.

If you voluntarily choose to provide us with this information, it will only be used within the framework of the respective event, for example, in the context of you sending us a question that needs an individual response, or within the context of an application or its processes. This data will not be passed on to third parties.

All users of our website will remain anonymous. If you find links on our website and sub websites that lead to other companies, it may be that we receive a cash compensation from the company concerned, at no extra charge for you. When using the links, no data about you will be sent, not even your IP address. A referrer identifier will be provided instead to make it apparent that an anonymous user has been referred from our site to theirs. We also do not get any user data from them concerning the referred user. This is to ensure that you remain completely anonymous.

We would, however, like to point out that data transmission over the Internet, for example, when communicating via e-mail has inherent security loopholes. Full protection against the transmission of personally identifiable data via third parties in this case is not possible.
