4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Credita Finance processes personal data based on several legal grounds as mandated by applicable data protection laws. These grounds include your consent, which is required for certain types of processing activities, such as subscribing to our newsletter or agreeing to receive marketing communications. We also process your data out of necessity for the performance of a contract, meaning that we require your information to fulfill our obligations to you, such as processing transactions or providing customer support. Additionally, we may process your data to comply with legal obligations that require us to retain certain information for auditing or regulatory purposes. By clearly outlining these legal bases, we ensure transparency in our data processing activities and reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding your personal information.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We understand the importance of your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. However, there may be circumstances under which we share your data with third parties. We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist us in delivering our services, such as payment processors, IT service providers, marketing partners, and analytics companies. These third parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purposes other than those outlined in our contracts with them. Additionally, we may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, in response to a subpoena, or to protect our rights and the rights of others. In these cases, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that any disclosures are limited to what is necessary and legally required. We strive to maintain transparency regarding our data-sharing practices to uphold the trust you place in us.

6. Data Security

At Credita Finance, we prioritize the security of your personal information and have implemented a range of measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our data security practices include the use of advanced encryption technologies to safeguard sensitive data during transmission and storage. We also maintain strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to your personal information. Regular security assessments and audits are conducted to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems. However, it is important to understand that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely foolproof. While we strive to protect your data to the best of our ability, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to take precautions when using the internet and be mindful of sharing your personal information.

7. Data Retention

We are committed to retaining your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and to comply with legal obligations. Our data retention practices are guided by the principle of minimization, meaning that we will not keep your data longer than needed. Factors that influence our retention periods include the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, and any applicable legal requirements. For example, we may retain financial information for a specified period to comply with tax regulations. Once your data is no longer needed for these purposes, we will securely delete or anonymize it, ensuring that it cannot be accessed or reconstructed. We aim to strike a balance between retaining useful data for operational purposes and minimizing the risk of holding onto unnecessary personal information.

You may also exercise your right to deletion, allowing you to request the removal of your personal information under specific circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Additionally, you have the right to data portability, which grants you the ability to obtain your data in a structured, commonly used format and transfer it to another service provider. If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you also have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, halting further processing of your information.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and to ensure that their children do not provide personal information without permission. By promoting awareness of children's privacy rights, we strive to create a safer online environment for all users.
