OUR CLIENTS MEDIA MATERIAL

We take the processing and handling of our client's media material very seriously and we only use their media in accordance with the terms of this EU Digital Single Market Copyright directive.

OUR CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS

Our interactions and relationships with our clients and partners are based on trust, and most of our clients, suppliers and partners will have met with us personally in real life, at events, conventions, trade shows, business meetings, at hotels, on tours, expeditions, or on the road, where we have exchanged business cards and contact information. When they send their media material to us for publishing, promotional services, event development, route or product development or other purposes (e.g., by emails, phone calls, tweets, messenger, etc.), we retain such media and information as well as our interactions with them in the records of their client account.
