6. HOW WE KEEP DATA SECURE

CBMM uses reasonable market and legally required means to preserve the privacy of the Personal Data collected. This way, it adopts various technical and administrative security measures capable of protecting Personal Data from unauthorized access and from accidental or unlawful situations of destruction, loss, alteration, communication or any other form of inappropriate or unlawful processing.

In addition to the technical efforts, CBMM also adopts institutional measures aimed at Personal Data protection, so that it maintains an information security and privacy governance program applied to all its activities and governance structure, which is constantly updated.  

Although CBMM makes its greatest efforts to preserve privacy and protect Personal Data of Data Subject, no information transfer is totally secure. Therefore, CBMM cannot fully guarantee that all information it receives and sends will not be subject to unauthorized access perpetrated through methods developed to improperly obtain information. 

For this reason, we encourage Data Subject to take appropriate measures to protect themselves, such as, keeping confidential all access credentials (usernames and passwords), being certain that such information is personal, non-transferable and of the sole responsibility of the Data Subject.
 
7. RETENTION OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

In order to protect the Data Subject privacy, Personal Data processed by CBMM will be deleted (i) after the expiration of the retention period established for the processing of those Personal Data; (ii) when the data are no longer useful for the purposes for which they were collected; or (iii) the Data Subject requests its deletion, unless its maintenance is expressly authorized by applicable law or regulation, or when its maintenance is based on a legal basis that justifies its retention.

However, information may be kept for complying with legal or regulatory obligation, transfer to a third party - provided that Personal Data Processing requirements are respected - and exclusive use by CBMM, including for the exercise of its rights in lawsuits and administrative proceedings.
