Personal Data Protection Policy


1. LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Article 15 of the Political Constitution of Colombia enshrines the right of any citizen to access, update and rectify their Personal Data compiled in any Database and/or files of public or private entities. It also orders those who possess Personal Data of third parties to respect the rights and guarantees laid out in the Constitution whenever collecting, processing and circulating this type of information.

Statutory Law 1581 / 2012 (“Law 1581 / 2012”) establishes the minimum conditions conducive to the legitimate processing of Personal Data belonging to clients, employees and any other individual. Item (f) of Article 18 of Law 1581 / 2012 obligates Personal Data Processors to adopt “policies and procedures to ensure due compliance therewith, in particular, vis-à-vis queries and claims from any Data Subject”. Article 25 of Law 1581 / 2012 also provides that compliance with the data processing policy is mandatory and that failure to do so will entail sanctions. This policy must ensure the processing level defined in Law 1581 / 2012 as a minimum.

Chapter 3 of Decree 1377 / 2013 governs aspects relating to the contents and requirements of Information Processing Policies and Privacy Notices.

Resolution 1652 / 2008 issued by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies of Colombia (“MINTIC”), as amended, establishes the policy framework for the (a) promotion, administration and operation of the Colombian Internet Top-Level Domain (ccTLD “.CO”) and (b) the delegation of domain names under the “.CO” domain.

.CO INTERNET S.A.S., as the operator responsible for the operation of the ccTLD “.CO”, with delegation from and supervision over the Registry Services, Promotion and Marketing duties by the MINTIC, undertakes to respect the data privacy rights of its clients, employees and third parties in general, Therefore, .CO INTERNET S.A.S. adopts this Protection Policy, whose application is mandatory in all activities involving Personal Data Processing.

2. MANDATORY ENFORCEMENT

This Policy must be strictly complied with by all employees, contractors and third parties acting on behalf of .CO INTERNET S.A.S.

All employees must abide by and follow this Policy in the performance of all their duties, in pursuance of Paragraph 1 of Article 58 of the Substantive Labor Code, whereby the worker must “abide by the provisions laid out in the rules, follow and comply with the orders and instructions that may be given by the supervisor or his/her representatives”.

In the absence of a labor relation, a clause must be included in the contract so that those acting on behalf of .CO INTERNET S.A.S. are forced to follow this Policy.

Failure to comply with this Policy may entail labor or contractual liability sanctions, as may be the case. The foregoing does not preclude those who fail to comply with this Policy from being financially liable for the damages caused to the Data Subjects and/or to .CO INTERNET S.A.S., for violating this Policy or for unduly processing the Personal Data.

    Principle of Temporality

    Personal Data will only be kept for the time necessary to achieve the processing purpose and to comply with the legal requirements or instruction of the supervision and control authorized or other competent authorities. In order to establish the processing term, the laws applicable to each purpose and the administrative, accounting, fiscal, judicial and historical aspects of the information, must be taken into account. Once the purpose or purposes have been achieved, the data will be eliminated.

Second, upon the delivery of the information, the public or administrative entity will be informed that it must comply with the duties and obligations set in Law 1581 / 2012 as the Data Controller. The recipient administrative entity must fulfill the protection and guarantee obligations enshrined in the said Law, in particular, compliance with the principle of use, legitimate use, restricted circulation, confidentiality and safety and security.
