This document governs the Privacy Policy of the MIU CITY UNIVERSITY, INC Website (hereinafter, “MIU” or “Website”), together with the information on data protection to which the data subject may have access.

MIU shall be governed by the provisions of EU Regulation 2016/679 (hereinafter, GDPR) in all matters concerning the personal data processing of the data subjects. This decision was made based on the fact that Florida lacks specific legislation in this regard and there is also no federal law by the U.S. government in existence regarding the processing of personal data of citizens or resident in the EU (under the terms stipulated in article 3.2 of GDPR). Thus, given its nature as a Proeduca Group company, centralizing data processing will be handled by the Group’s parent company, which is established in the European Union.
