Sim Local Privacy Policy

‍

Sim Local is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you during and after your relationship with us.

The privacy notice below explains what information we gather about you, what we use that information for and to whom we give the information. It also sets out your rights and who you can contact for information or queries.

We respect individuals’ right to privacy and to the protection of personal information.

Sim Local data protection officer

Whenever Sim Local collects, uses or transfers your personal data for its own purposes, Sim Local acts as a data controller of your personal data.

​

To better ensure the security of your personal data, Sim Local has appointed a data protection officer (the “DPO”). You may contact the DPO, if you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy and how Sim Local processes your personal data, by sending an e-mail to dataprotection@simlocal.com.
