Evergreen Line and its related partnerships, affiliates and global agencies (hereinafter all together referred to as "Evergreen Line", "we", or "us") respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

The "personal data" referred in this Policy has the same meaning as in the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679/EU (GDPR). Essentially, it means information which is connected to a natural person, who can be identified from that information, either by itself or when combined with other data likely to come into our possession. It does not include data where the identification has been removed (anonymous data).

This Policy explains how we collect, process, store, transfer and use (together "processing") the personal data of our clients, suppliers, client’s and supplier’s representative, shareholders, users of our websites, apps and other services (together "you".)

The Privacy terms may be revised from time to time. Please regularly check back changes and updates.
