Our data protection notice

The new law limits how companies may use natural persons’ personal data by strengthening some existing requirements.

We have therefore published a data protection notice, which you can find below.

The notice sets out the principles, processes, and governance structures that we have established at AVENA to meet the requirements of the new data protection law.

If you have any questions, your relationship manager will be happy to assist you.

We invite yout to discover the Foudation's 2022 annual report.
