Privacy Policy
We are delighted that you have shown interest in the Global Institute of Management Excellence (GIME). Data protection is of particularly high priority for Focus Scale Ltd. The use of our website is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if you wish to use special services via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
