Privacy Policy

PORTOCANNA has always focused its concerns on the customers’ interests. Therefore, and so that you can be informed about how your personal data are processed – namely, name, address, telephone / fax numbers or e-mail address, etc. which you could provide us, – we have created this Privacy Policy.

In this regard, we intend to explain how we will use your data, as well as the mechanisms adopted to ensure its safety and keep it strictly confidential.
