Whether you are a resident of the European Union or not, if you use our Charlie platform, your data is processed in accordance with the strict requirements of the GDPR. We ensure transparent data collection by obtaining your explicit consent before any data processing and clearly informing you of how your data is used.
User Rights and Data Security: The GDPR strengthens your data protection rights, and Emerit Science ensures you can fully exercise these rights. You have the right to access your data, rectify it, request its deletion, and restrict its processing. Our Charlie platform incorporates advanced security measures, such as data encryption and strict access controls, to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information.
