OUR APPROACH TO DATA BREACHES
A data breach is any activity that exposes your personal data to entities that should otherwise not be able to attain your personal data (entities to which you did not consent the processing of your personal data). A data breach can be an act of accessing or
providing data by unauthorized entities or an omission to provide the security systems that should provide adequate security against unauthorized data.
We take data breaches very seriously! Where a data breach comes to our attention, you will be notified within 72 hours of our knowledge of the breach. In addition, an investigation will be conducted to assess where the breach happened and why to ensure that a repetition does not occur.
PERSONAL DATA OF MINORS
Leal ‘GROUP’ will not knowingly collect, process or store the personal information of any person below the age of 16 without the express consent of the parent or legal guardian.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR DATA
