ALCMEON does not transmit any personal data to a third party likely to use it for their own purposes, in particular for a commercial or advertising use, without having requested the prior consent of the User.

It is possible that ALCMEON may transfer certain personal data to third-party partners in a temporary way and secure way to ensure the proper execution of the services it offers.
