  • Processed in a way that guarantees data’s safety, including protection against its unauthorized or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss, destruction or damage, implementing appropriate technical or organizational measures.

Data processing carried out by SOGRAPE is lawful when at least one of the following situations occurs:

When the processing of the User's data is carried out by SOGRAPE based on the User's consent, the User has the right to withdraw consent at any time.

The period of time during which the data is stored and preserved varies according to the purpose for which the information is processed. Effectively, there are legal requirements that require data to be kept for a minimum period.
