In this privacy policy BUSINESSEUROPE (also hereafter ‘we’) provides a clear
understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle personal data.

Should you have any questions, complaints or queries with regards to how we use
your information, we encourage you to contact us at privacy@businesseurope.eu
