The legal basis for processing personal data is consent. CONVASA SA undertakes to obtain the User’s express and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The User shall have the right to withdraw consent at any time. It shall be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent shall not affect the use of the Website.

Whenever the User is required or able to provide data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they shall be informed if the completion of any field is mandatory because it is essential for the proper execution of the requested operation.


Purposes for Which Personal Data Are Processed

Personal data are collected and managed by CONVASA SA for the purpose of facilitating, expediting, and fulfilling the commitments established between the Website and the User, maintaining the relationship established through the forms completed by the User, or responding to requests or inquiries.

Likewise, the data may be used for commercial purposes related to personalization, operational and statistical activities, and activities inherent to the corporate purpose of CONVASA SA, as well as for data extraction, storage, and marketing studies in order to tailor the Content offered to the User and improve the quality, operation, and navigation of the Website.

Secrecy and Security of Personal Data

CONVASA SA undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the collected data, in such a way as to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

However, because CONVASA SA cannot guarantee the absolute security of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others fraudulently accessing personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to inform the User without undue delay when a personal data security breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

In accordance with Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach means any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
