What is the purpose of this Privacy Policy?
This Privacy Policy (hereinafter the “Policy”) explains the practices regarding data processing. This Policy applies to all personal data you provide to Sáas Consultores, as well as any personal data collected from other sources.

Who is responsible for your data?
Throughout this Policy, “Sáas Consultores” refers to Sáas Consultores, Agente de Seguros y de Fianzas, S.A. de C.V. The entity responsible for your personal data (and the one responsible under personal data protection laws) will be the member of Sáas Consultores that initially collects data from you.

Sáas Consultores provides some services as a data processor, which means that the client remains the main responsible party for the data. In such cases, we may redirect inquiries regarding our use of your data to our client.

How do we use your personal data?
Below are the purposes for which we use personal data. More information about the personal data collected for each of our services, along with the purpose and legal basis for its collection, will be provided in separate Privacy Statements or Policies relevant to the services you are concerned with.
For the provision of services to our clients
We process personal data provided by our clients to offer our professional consulting and risk-based advisory services. This may concern you, for example, if you are an employee of our client or a member of one of our client’s pension schemes. The precise purposes for processing your data will be determined based on the scope and specifications of our contract with the client, in accordance with applicable laws, regulatory guidelines, and professional standards. It is the responsibility of our clients to ensure you understand that your personal data will be disclosed to Sáas Consultores.

In all cases, we balance our legal use of your personal data with our legitimate interests, rights, and freedoms, in accordance with applicable laws and provisions to ensure your personal data is not subject to unnecessary risks.
Legal basis
All processing (i.e., use) of your personal data is justified by a “legal basis” for processing. In most cases, the processing will be justified on the grounds that:
-
It is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party or to take necessary steps (at your request) towards the conclusion of a contract (for example, to help an employer comply with labor-related obligations in relation to benefits);
-
The processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation (for example, when we are required to collect certain data about our clients for tax or accounting purposes, or when we are required to disclose data to courts or authorities);
-
The processing is in the favor of our legitimate commercial interests, subject to your interests and fundamental rights (for example, when we use the personal data our clients provide us to offer our services, and such processing is not necessary for a contract you are part of).
In a few circumstances, we will use your consent as the basis for processing your personal data, for example, when we are required to obtain your prior consent to send you promotional communications.
Before collecting and/or using any special categories of data or criminal record data, we will establish lawful exceptions that allow us to use such data. These exceptions are generally:
-
Your explicit consent;
-
The presentation, exercise, or defense of legal claims on our behalf or third parties;
-
A specific exception under local legislation in EU Member States or other countries where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is implemented, such as in relation to special category data for insurance or determining benefits in a pension scheme.
Do we need to collect data from minors?
Our websites are not directed at children, and we do not intentionally collect personal data from children on them. Children are prohibited from using our websites.
How long do we retain your personal data?
The period for which we retain your personal data depends on the purpose for which the data was collected and its nature. We will keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Statement, unless the law permits a longer period, in accordance with Sáas Consultores’ Record Retention Policy.
In certain specific circumstances, we may store your personal data for longer periods, so we have an accurate record of your interactions with us in case of claims, inquiries, or if we consider that there might be litigation related to your personal data or business.

We may share your personal data with other entities, brands, divisions, and subsidiaries of Sáas Consultores to provide services to you, including carrying out previously listed activities.

These service providers are prohibited from using or disclosing the data by contract, unless necessary for the provision of services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

Examples include:
-
IT service providers who manage and support our computer systems and telecommunications networks;

Subject to certain exemptions and depending on the processing activity, you may have rights regarding your personal data. We may ask for additional data to confirm your identity and for security purposes before disclosing the requested personal data. We reserve the right to charge fees when permitted by law, such as when your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
You may exercise your rights by contacting us. Subject to some legal considerations, we will make every effort to comply with your request in a timely manner or inform you if additional information is required to fulfill your request.
We may not always be able to comply with your request, such as if doing so would impact our confidentiality obligations to others or if we have a legal right to process your request differently.
Right of access

Right of rectification
You have the right to request correction of your personal data if it is inaccurate or outdated.
Right to be forgotten (right of deletion)
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. Your data can only be deleted if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and if we no longer have a legal basis for processing it.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data only when:
• its accuracy is in doubt, allowing us to verify it; or
• its processing is unlawful, but you do not wish for it to be deleted; or
• it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or
• you have exercised the right to object, and verification of grounds is pending.
Right to data portability
You have the right to data portability, which requires us to provide personal data to you or another data controller in commonly used or machine-readable formats, but only when the processing of such data is based on (i) your consent or (ii) the performance of a contract you are a part of.
Right to object to processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, but only when the processing is based on our legitimate interests. If you file an objection, we will have the opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests that override your rights and freedoms.
Right to reject automated decision-making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions solely based on automated processing, which have legal or significant effects on you, unless they (i) are necessary for a contract you are a part of; (ii) are authorized by law; or (iii) are based on your explicit consent.
Even when such decisions are permitted, you may object and request Sáas Consultores to exercise human intervention.
Currently, we do not use automated decision-making (including profiling) for processing your personal data. If we were to use automated decision-making in the future, you would have the right to request that decisions not based solely on your personal data are not made using an automated process.
