Thus, for example, personal data includes the following: first and last name; home address or residence; email address; phone number; personal identification number (CNP); medical services accessed (sensitive data); established diagnosis (sensitive data); genetic data (sensitive data); biometric data (sensitive data); geolocation data. The categories of personal data we process relating to you are listed above.
