12. Information security
Alma Brands will adopt reasonable organizational and technical measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Nevertheless, no system connected to the Internet can guarantee absolute security, and therefore we cannot ensure that external incidents or unlawful access will never occur.
