1. General Data Protection Overview

GIFSQ acts as both a Data Controller and Data Processor. Our processing of personal data is guided by the principles of legality, transparency, security, and data minimization. We collect and process your information only when we have a legitimate legal basis, such as contract execution, compliance with legal obligations, or with your explicit consent.

5. Security of Your Data

We secure your data using modern administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. All web connections are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). Personal profiles, quiz scores, and credentials are protected by hashed passcodes and internal access filters.

6. Data Retention
