Who do we share your data with?
By default, we do not share personal data related to the use of our services with other organizations for commercial purposes.
Some personal data, for reasons of support and operation of our services and platforms – such as, for example, storing information, sending communications, among others – may be processed by partners and suppliers in Brazil or abroad. We contractually guarantee that they follow our security and confidentiality standards.
In events held by RNP, we may also share your exclusively contact data with our partners and sponsors for the purpose of promotional actions, marketing and offer of products and services relevant to your profile.
We will guarantee you total control over the receipt of these communications, assuring you, whenever requested, of the interruption of sharing and the removal of your contacts from our databases.
How long do we store your data?
We are committed to storing personal data for the time strictly necessary to fulfill the defined purposes, but also not failing to comply with the legal and regulatory determinations to which RNP is subject.
The period of storage of this information may vary according to the service used and the characteristics of each case. For example, the data collected from the RNP System service registration forms may be kept during the evaluation process and, in case of approval, during the accession term.
The personal contact data processed by RNP to solve doubts and queries are stored even after the requester's service has been completed, for history and follow-up purposes.
In the case of products and services provided by RNP and to which the Institutions adhere, processed data are stored for the duration of their provision and will be deleted when accession is discontinued, or in the event that you request the deletion of these data - with the exception of those data necessary for the fulfillment of obligations, such as in cases where it is necessary to provide data to public authorities.
