Information about database
As every year, we have been alerted to e-mail campaigns from companies offering to purchase « STEP » databases. It is therefore important to point out that RX France group complies with European legislation on data protection (GDPR). RX France does not sell or rent its data to third party companies. The messages you receive from these companies are therefore fraudulent and have no connection with « STEP » and the RX France group.
