This Privacy Policy is published as a stand-alone document and complements Articles 41 to 44 and Annex 4 of the General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") of CortexProp LLC. In case of conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Terms, this Privacy Policy prevails in respect of the processing of personal data.

Applicable data-protection law

If such data is sent to us inadvertently, we will delete it without undue delay unless retention is required by law.
