Privacy Policy

❓ What is this notice all about?

We want to be completely transparent about how we collect and use your personal data and this privacy notice exists to tell you exactly how we do this.

This notice covers the personal data we process when you use our services. Occupop is primarily a Data Processor under data protection law for the service provided to its clients.

Our privacy notice tells you the journey of your personal data from the moment it enters our systems up until it's time for us to remove it, as well as the various stops it makes along the way.
