STATEMENT
At QUANAM, the protection of personal data for all individuals with whom we engage is of utmost importance. We have implemented all necessary measures to ensure that rights and freedoms related to privacy are fully protected.
Accordingly, we comply with applicable local regulations (Law 18.331 on Personal Data Protection and related decrees) as well as the widely recognized international framework: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which serves as the foundation for relevant local and regional legislation.
WHY DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA?
All personal data processing conducted by QUANAM is either necessary to fulfill the requested services, satisfy a contractual obligation, or conducted with the explicit consent of the data subject. The personal data we manage are strictly proportional and minimal, considering the intended purpose of each data processing activity.
WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?
Personal data is any information about an individual that can directly or indirectly identify them, such as a name, ID number, location data, or an online identifier. It also includes specific identifiers related to the individual’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity. Particularly sensitive information, known as “special category data” (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information, etc.), is not collected or processed by QUANAM under any circumstances.

QUANAM adheres to and guarantees the following principles of personal data protection:
- Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Data is collected and processed legally, fairly, and transparently.
- Purpose Limitation: Personal data provided is used solely for the specific purposes communicated at the time of collection, described in clear, simple language, and is adequate and proportional to those purposes.
- Accuracy: QUANAM ensures that all personal data it processes is accurate and has appropriate mechanisms for any required corrections.
- Data Minimization: Data processed is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary to provide the requested services.
- Storage Limitation: Data is retained only for as long as is necessary, in line with applicable legal requirements.
- Integrity and Confidentiality: Measures are in place to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
- Proactive Responsibility: QUANAM uses robust technical and organizational information security measures to ensure the secure processing of all information, particularly personal data.
