What type of personal data do we collect?

In the scope of its activities, CMA collects and processes the personal data necessary to provide services and/or products, processing data such as your name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, education level, tax identification number, and other data. These details may be requested when you register or fill out contact forms on our websites, whether as an employee, job applicant, trainee, trainer, supplier, visitor, partner, or other, or when you send or receive emails, or for services that require registration or subscription. All personal data related to these stakeholders and others using CMA’s websites will be processed in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law (GDPR).

When and how do we collect your data?

CMA collects your data by phone, in writing, or via its website, with your consent. Typically, personal data is collected when a customer subscribes to one of our products or services.

Some personal data is mandatory, and if such data is missing or insufficient, CMA may not be able to provide the product or service in question, and the CMA will inform you of the mandatory nature of the data provision.

If you are not a CMA customer, your data will only be processed if you provide it to the CMA, for example, by subscribing to newsletters, in which case the rules of this Privacy Policy will apply.

The collected personal data is processed electronically and in strict compliance with personal data protection legislation, stored in specific databases created for this purpose, and under no circumstances will the collected data be used for any purpose other than that for which consent was given by the data subject.

How long do we keep your personal data?

The length of time personal data is stored and retained depends on the purpose for which the information is processed.

There are legal requirements that mandate data retention for a minimum period. Thus, and whenever there is no specific legal requirement, data will be stored and retained only for the minimum period necessary for the purposes that motivated their collection or subsequent processing or for the period authorized by the National Data Protection Commission, after which they will be deleted.

How can you access, correct, or object to the processing of your personal data?

Under the Personal Data Protection Law, the data subject is guaranteed the right to access, update, correct, or delete their personal data, which can be done through the various contact points provided by CMA.

If you wish, you can cancel your registration or use at any time, opt not to receive any email messages, and also choose to delete all your personal information from our database.

The data subject also has the right to receive a copy of their personal information held by us. CMA reserves the right to charge a small fee for administrative and technical costs for any request made.

If you are a user of our websites through user registration, your data will be stored in a specific user control database. However, the Data Subject may request its deletion at any time by sending a written request to our official address listed on the website.

How do we keep your data secure?

• Restricted personal access to your personal data based on the “need to know” principle and only within the scope of the communicated purposes;
• Encrypted transfer of collected data;
• Storage of highly confidential data;
• Protection of IT systems through firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to your personal data;
• Permanent monitoring of access to IT systems to prevent, detect, and prevent misuse of your personal data.

How can you object to receiving marketing contacts?

CMA may promote actions to inform its Clients about new products or services via phone, email, SMS, MMS, or other electronic communication services, unless the Client objects when the data is collected.

If you do not wish to receive these communications, you can object at any time to the use of your data for marketing purposes, sending informative communications, or inclusion in lists or information services.

What measures has CMA adopted to ensure the security of your personal data?

CMA is committed to ensuring the protection of the security of the personal data provided to us, having approved and implemented stringent rules on this matter. Compliance with these rules is an undeniable obligation for all those who legally access them.

Given the significant concern and effort CMA shows in defending privacy matters, several technical and organizational security measures have been adopted to protect the personal data made available to us against dissemination, loss, misuse, alteration, processing, or unauthorized access, as well as against any other form of illegal processing.

In this regard, personal data collection forms require encrypted browser sessions, and all personal data provided to us is securely stored in CMA’s systems.

Despite the security measures adopted by CMA, we must alert all those who navigate the Internet to take additional security measures, such as ensuring they use an updated PC and browser with appropriately configured security patches, active firewalls, antivirus, and anti-spyware, and ensuring the authenticity of the websites they visit, avoiding websites with questionable reputations.

How can you learn about changes to CMA’s privacy policy?

CMA reserves the right to make adjustments or changes to this Privacy Policy at any time, with those changes being duly advertised on the respective website.
