If a User unsubscribes from the service or requests the deletion of his/her personal data, the automatically generated data will not be possible to use in identifying them.

 

VIII. Changing personal data

Any request to change to personal data, if the User cannot change it him/herself in his/her account, as well as the request to delete data, can be submitted in written form, in an e-mail or a letter. Unsubscribing from newsletters is possible on the website.

This only serves the purpose of uninterrupted use of the services by registered users, and must not result in a disadvantage or the implementation of a privacy policy less favourable from the User’s point of view than the present Policy.

 

XI. Changes in the Policy

Archaeolingua can change its Privacy Policy at any time, on its own discretion. If the Privacy Policy changes, all registered users must be informed. If a User continues to use the website, it means that he/she gives his/her consent to the changed Privacy Policy.
