PRIVACY POLICY

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The THIMUN Foundation respects the privacy of all participants of our conference and considers that the proper handling of personal data is vitally important and is aware of the privacy legislation and complies with the European laws of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
