Why the need for privacy policies?
The Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM) wants to inform our registered users about privacy rules and individual data processing. This data is collected and processed in strict accordance and compliance with the Law for Protection of Personal Data (“Lei de Proteção de Dados Pessoais”).
