GENERAL PROVISIONS
General Concepts
Processing of Personal Data
 

The processing of personal data includes: every operation performed with personal data, such as those relating to the collection, production, reception, classification, use, access, reproduction, transmission, distribution, processing, archival, storage, disposal, information evaluation or control, modification, communication, transfer, diffusion or extraction.”

Under the broad legal definition, any action listed above involving personal data constitutes a processing activity. Applying an effective conduct with personal data, or resulting in a different product, is not necessary. Mere viewing, based on the access to personal data, characterizes processing. The Beontag, concerned with the compliance of each processing performed under our responsibility, seeks to raise awareness of our employees and third parties and continuously adopt security measures.

Examples of processing performed by the Beontag:

Collection, reception, use, and storage of personal data to register new customers and keep the base of existing customers;
Use and communication of personal data in official reports to regulatory bodies;
Control of employee information and transmission to public bodies, in compliance with the applicable laws;
Archival of third-party personal data during the law-mandated period;
Deletion of personal data of terminated employees, after the mandatory storage period has elapsed.

Purpose, Suitability, and Need
In all operations, Beontag will process the minimum necessary amount of personal data compatible with legitimate, specific, explicit purposes, reported to the Data Subject, in addition to complying with the applicable legal basis.

Open Access, Data Quality, and Transparency
Beontag will ensure to the Data Subjects easy, free-of-charge query on the processing form and duration, as well as accurate, informative details regarding the processing itself and the agents involved, as long as it does not violate the trade or industrial secret of the institution or a Third Party.

We also ensure the quality of the personal data used, enabling the Data Subjects to update these to improve their accuracy and to bring these in line with the processing.

Security, Prevention, and Accountability
The Beontag adopts security standards commensurate to our operations, especially when they involve the processing of personal data, in order to prevent security incidents.

Rights of Data Subjects
The Beontag ensures compliance with the rights of the Data Subjects when processing personal data, pursuant to the provisions mentioned below:

Right of Access/Explanation: the subjects of personal data processed by the Beontag may have access and request information such as the confirmation that their data is being processed by the company, as well as information on said processing. The replies to such requests will be given in an abridged or full manner, as provided for in law, within fifteen (15) days as of the Data Subject’s request, except for industrial secrets;
Right to Rectification: The subject of personal data may request rectification of the registration of his/her personal data, such as inaccurate, incorrect or outdated data;

SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
 

• International Transfer
  The Beontag adopts a restrictive conduct regarding the international transfer of personal data, performing it only when strictly necessary to carry out its activities or when there is a security standard in place compatible with our guidelines.
  In these cases, the Beontag observes the local laws of the target country of transfer, for due compliance. The Beontag also ensures the prior knowledge of the Data Subjects on the possibility of international transfer of their personal data, based on contractual clauses or specific consent, on a case by case basis.
  The Beontag also complies with the GDPL requirements for the possibility of international transfer:
• Personal data is transferred to countries with an adequate degree of protection, in line with ANPD guidelines;
• Personal data is transferred when the Beontag is able to take responsibility. In this case, in addition to observing the rights and duties provided for in the GDPL, the Beontag will use specific contractual clauses or standards; global corporate standards; and the Personal Data Protection Compliance Program.
• Processing of Personal Data of Minors
   

The Beontag does not, as a rule, process the personal data of minors. However, there are times when processing such data is necessary. In these cases, the data will be processed in the best interest of the minor.

In these cases, the specific and explicit consent of the parents of the subject of the personal data is mandatory, except when the legal basis of the processing includes the regular exercise (defense) in judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceedings, only when referring to the processing of adolescents’ data.

The personal data of children and adolescents, as well as their sensitive data, should be subject to stronger protection compared to other personal data. In this way, sensitive personal data should be prominently classified.

Privacy by Design

Taking into consideration the principle of Privacy by Design, all products and services designed by the Beontag are reviewed from the outset for guaranteed privacy and protection of personal data of the Data Subjects.

The review begins with the area responsible for the innovation completing the Form for Registration of New Personal Data Processing, and is discussed by the Data Protection Committee, which ensures compliance with the principle in question.

FINAL PROVISIONS

This document should be read and construed in conjunction with the other Policies and Procedures used by the Beontag, as well as related laws and regulations.

Any questions regarding this Policy should be e-mailed to the Data Subject Communication Channel (comitelgpd@beontag.com) or to the Data Protection Officer (lgpd@beontag.com).
