Welcome to GETO’s Privacy Policy
Hi there, we’re GETO and welcome to our privacy policy. This policy sets out how we handle your personal information if you’re a GETO user or visitor to our apps/sites. It applies across all GETO Elements.
When we say ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘GETO’ it’s because that’s who we are and we own and run the apps/sites.
