  1. Privacy

RNKGI manages personal information in compliance with relevant law. On the RNKGI website a Privacy Policy is specified. This Privacy Policy is part of these conditions and an agreement with these conditions is an agreement with the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy can be changed by RNKGI unilaterally. If the Privacy Policy is changed this will be published on our website.
