Company staff is authorized to access the user’s personal data according to their job function, position, and responsibilities, and such access requires approval. Access rights to non-time-based production environments are reviewed at least semi-annually. An employee’s access to the personal data of our users is immediately revoked upon the termination of their employment. To access the production environment, an authorized employee must have a unique username and password.
