CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY OF INFORMATION

BIOGÉNESIS BAGÓ adopts reasonable security measures to keep Users’ Personal Data and/or information strictly confidential and to protect it, preventing unauthorized access to their data or any unauthorized modification, disclosure, or destruction thereof.

Access to Personal Data is restricted to those employees, contractors and representatives of BIOGÉNESIS BAGÓ who need to know such data to perform their duties and develop or improve our services, and to whom BIOGÉNESIS BAGÓ requires the same confidentiality standards.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and considering that the Internet is an open, publicly accessible system, BIOGÉNESIS BAGÓ cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties may not eventually overcome the security measures and use Users’ information improperly.

Likewise, it is each User’s personal responsibility to ensure that the electronic device used is properly secure and protected against malicious software, such as trojans, viruses and worms, among others. If the User does not have adequate security measures (including, without limitation, a secure web browser configuration, up-to-date antivirus software, personal firewall software) or uses software of dubious origin, there is a risk that the data and passwords used to protect against access to their information by unauthorized third parties may be exposed.
