• Use strong passwords and do not reuse them across multiple websites
• Keep your passwords private
• Learn about how email scams operate and exercise caution when using email
• Understand the risks of using public WiFi services

We have written this Privacy Notice to do just that, and it is located at https://grillatech.com/resources under GDPR policy statement. If you have any questions or require more specific information, you can get in touch using our contact numbers or the Contact Us section of our website.
