5. Guidelines

5.1. Classification as a Processing Agent

It is RD’s priority to protect, preserve, and respect the privacy and rights of Personal Data Subjects in accordance with the LGPD.

RD adopts the best business practices and ethical conduct, aiming to maintain and enhance compliance with processes related to the protection of Personal Data in order to meet the needs of Customers, Partners, Suppliers, and RDOERS.

5.2. Acting as a Processing Agent

RD may process Personal Data independently or share it with other Processing Agents. Depending on the processing activity conducted, RD may be classified as either a Controller or an Operator of Personal Data:

As the Controller, RD implements technical security and privacy measures to ensure the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the Personal Data it processes, either independently or in collaboration with third parties. To achieve this, RD maintains a Privacy and Data Protection Program, in which all participants, without exception, are required to engage. 

Corporate processes that manage personal data across all areas are documented and assessed for the risks and impacts they pose to Data Subjects and the Company. Evaluations are conducted periodically by the departments responsible for business processes, under the supervision of the TOTVS Data Governance team and the Legal Department, using the Records of Personal Data Processing Activities (RoPAs). In certain cases, depending on the risk associated with the process or to meet legal obligations, a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is prepared. This report provides a detailed description of the risks and the mitigation measures implemented for the process.

 

As the Operator, RD must comply with all contractual guidelines established by the Controllers (its customers) to process Personal Data while implementing robust security practices verified by independent audits. Additionally, RD incorporates Personal Data protection clauses (through DPAs) in all contracts where it acts as the Operator, clearly delineating RD’s responsibilities. DPAs specify the processing activities that RD performs on behalf of the Controller.

Registration and authentication: For RD Station CRM customers who choose to insert contact data (such as name, email, phone, and job title) from their Google accounts, we use an integration with Google that allows this data to be imported (via Google API). With this tool, it is possible to securely ensure the authentication and reading of the contact data that will be imported from Gmail to RD Station. Users are allowed to remove app usage permissions in their Google account settings.

For users who authorize the import of contacts from their Google account with their email account, the use of the data involved will comply with the additional requirements of Google Restricted Scopes, listed under Google API Services: User Data Policy.

5.3. Collection and Use of Personal Data

As the Controller, RD processes Personal Data in the following ways:

  • Collected from the Personal Data Subjects themselves, either provided directly by them or automatically gathered from their interactions.
  • Received through sharing by third parties, partners, or group companies; and
  • Produced by RD through the processing of other Personal Data.

                                                                                                                                                                          Personal Data may be processed by RD for the following purposes:

  • Offer and market products and services more personalized and aligned with customers’ needs.
  • Provision of services.
  • Meeting customer requests.
  • Operation and management of websites.
  • Compliance with legal and contractual obligations.
  • For the regular exercise of the controller’s rights.
  • Communication and marketing activities.
  • Defense of the rights of Data Subjects.
  • The analysis of statistical data aims to study the improvement of product and service performance while ensuring the de-identification of sensitive and personal information. 

As the Operator, RD uses Personal Data as defined by the Controller (customer) to fulfill contractual obligations.

RD may process data transacted by customers through the use of its products, which can identify data subjects without any direct relationship with RD. Subject to customer guidelines for processing, the purposes and protective measures implemented by RD products are outlined in RD’s Privacy Notice and Terms of Use.

5.4. Sharing Personal Data

RD responsibly manages the Personal Data of its customers, RDOERS, and third-party employees who provide services to RD.

RDOERS may share Personal Data to fulfill: (i) current legal obligations and to defend the rights of Data Subjects; (ii) contractual obligations with RDOERS; and (iii) the benefits provided to RDOERS.

Regarding clients, RD may share Personal Data to fulfill: (i) requests made by the customer themselves; and (ii) legal obligations arising from the business relationship. 

RD may also share Personal Data with Third Parties, in compliance with the LGPD, including: (i) Service Providers; (ii) Partners; (iii) Government Authorities; and (iv) Group Companies.

When sharing is necessary, RD implements appropriate measures to ensure that the shared information is processed solely for specific purposes.

5.5. Protection of Personal Data

RD implements stringent measures to ensure the integrity and security of Personal Data. Access to this data is authorized only for designated areas to fulfill their operational requirements and to facilitate potential support procedures. Additionally, RD has established protocols to guarantee that internal departments and RD Operators process Personal Data in compliance with the protection and privacy guidelines set forth by RD.

In addition, RD invests in awareness programs for RDOERS, Third Parties, and Partners. The Privacy and Data Protection Program aims to promote best practices that should be adopted in the processing of Personal Data. 

Aiming to ensure the privacy and security of its customers’ personal data, RD implements the best information security and secure development practices available in the market. The company designs products and services that enable customers to manage their information directly and securely. 

5.6. Retention of Personal Data

The Personal Data required to comply with the Brazilian Civil Framework for the Internet is stored in a secure and controlled environment for a minimum period of six (6) months, subject to change based on the type of contracts with customers.

Personal Data is stored on third-party servers contracted for this purpose, whether located in Brazil or abroad, in accordance with applicable legislation. Additionally, it may be stored using emerging technologies that may develop in the future, all aimed at enhancing and improving services.

RD processes Personal Data for the duration strictly necessary to fulfill predetermined purposes, including compliance with legal or contractual obligations, requests from competent authorities, or as long as the Data Subject’s registration remains active in its environment. 

Customer account information will be retained for as long as the account remains active. If the customer requests cancellation, the account data will be deleted within sixty (60) days after the request. Even after an account deletion request is submitted, RD will maintain a backup of the customer’s account information for 72 hours for security and compliance purposes. In the case of personal data related to RD contacts (leads), information regarding customer interactions with RD will be stored for a period of five (5) years. 

With respect to data processing conducted based on the Data Subject’s consent, RD will conclude the processing of Personal Data, when applicable, if the Data Subject objects to or revokes their consent. If you have any questions regarding the duration for which RD will process Personal Data following the termination of the contractual relationship, please contact our DPO at [email protected] to obtain information relevant to your specific case.

To establish the appropriate retention period for personal data, we evaluate several factors: the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data; the potential risk of harm arising from unauthorized use or disclosure; the purpose of processing the data; and whether these purposes can be achieved through alternative means. Additionally, we take into account the relevant legal requirements.

5.7. Rights of the Data Subject

The Subject of Personal Data has rights and guarantees concerning their personal information. The mechanisms outlined below are available at RD to ensure that the Data Subject has clarity and transparency regarding the exercise of these rights. Whenever necessary, the Data Subject may contact RD to request information about their rights through our Help Center, where they can obtain information and submit requests related to their rights: 

Confirmation of Processing: RD processes the Personal Data of its customers, RDOERS, visitors, Suppliers, Partners, and others, ensuring that this data is stored in secure and controlled environments. The Data Subject may request confirmation regarding the processing of their Personal Data.

Access to Data: At any time, the Data Subject may request that RD inform them of which Personal Data is being processed.

Correction of Incomplete, Inaccurate, or Outdated Personal Data: If the Data Subject discovers that the information is incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated, they may request the correction or addition of the missing or inaccurate Personal Data, as applicable.

Anonymization, blocking, or elimination of unnecessary, excessive, or improperly processed Personal Data in non-compliance with the LGPD: The Data Subject may request the anonymization, blocking, or elimination of Personal Data that RD is processing when there is no legal basis justifying such processing. However, if RD has a legal or regulatory justification for retaining the data, it will be kept for the duration necessary to fulfill the legal obligation or to uphold the right of defense in judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceedings. Additionally, in certain situations, RD may retain the data in pursuit of its legitimate interests, such as preventing violations and fraud.

Portability of Personal Data to another service or product provider upon the express request of the Data Subject: The Data Subject may request that RD transfer their Personal Data to another service or product provider. If applicable, RD will fulfill the Data Subject’s request as promptly as possible.

Obtaining information about the public or private entities with which RD shares the Data Subject’s Personal Data: The Data Subject may contact RD through the designated rights service channel to obtain information regarding the entities with whom their Personal Data has been shared.

Information regarding the possibility of the Data Subject not providing consent for the processing of Personal Data, as well as the consequences of such a refusal: If the Data Subject chooses not to consent to the specific processing required by RD, RD will clarify whether it is feasible to provide the requested services or software without processing their Personal Data. Additionally, RD will inform the Data Subject of the implications of their decision not to consent.

Revocation of Consent: When the processing of Personal Data is based on the consent of the Data Subject, the Data Subject may revoke their consent and request the deletion of their Personal Data at any time. Revocation of consent may result in the Data Subject being unable to use the services provided by RD. The interruption of the processing of Personal Data will not be effective if the Data is: (i) anonymized; or (ii) necessary for RD and/or Third Parties involved in the provision of services for judicial, arbitral, or administrative defense purposes, as well as for compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.

 – Deletion of Data: In certain instances, the Data Subject may request the deletion of their personal information. 

RD, acting as the Operator, is not responsible for defining data processing activities. This responsibility lies with the customer, who acts as the Controller, as stipulated in the contract. The customer must ensure that all instructions directed to RD comply with Data Protection and Privacy Legislation concerning Personal Data Subjects.

RD is dedicated to fulfilling all requests from Data Subjects as promptly as possible, in accordance with the deadlines established by the ANPD.

5.8. International Data Transfer and Collection

Personal Data processing activities conducted by RD may involve the international transfer of data, particularly to the United States. 

For the provision of services that involve the international sharing of Personal Data, RD prioritizes processing conducted in countries that provide protection for personal data equivalent to that of the LGPD. Alternatively, RD may establish standard contractual clauses suitable for facilitating this transfer. Additionally, RD requires the involved providers to ensure that Data Subjects receive the expected level of protection. In exceptional circumstances, RD may conduct International Data Transfer through other means authorized by the LGPD.

Likewise, the potential International Transfer of RDoers’ Personal Data is outlined in their employment contracts. 

Some RD products may be marketed and made available by partner companies overseas. In such instances, International Data Collection may be applicable. The RD framework extends the protections afforded to Data Subjects under the International Data Transfer guidelines.

In instances where RD processes personal data that is not protected by the LGPD—either because it falls outside the legal territorial limits or because it meets one of the exclusion criteria defined in the law—RD commits to ensuring the security and protection of the involved Data Subjects’ Personal Data and privacy. Furthermore, RD will comply with the exercise of rights established by the LGPD, within reasonable limits and capabilities, if such requests are made through its official data subject service channels.

5.9. Partners

RD establishes partnerships with companies to leverage technologies and processes that enhance its range of services. These Partners must adhere strictly to all contractual security guidelines outlined in this Policy, ensuring that all customer and employee Personal Data is treated as confidential.

5.10. Companies acquired by RD

As part of its inorganic growth strategy, RD may acquire other companies that process Personal Data. These companies may have operating structures, methodologies, and safeguards for protecting Personal Data that differ from those employed by RD. In such cases, RD must ensure that the guidelines outlined in this Policy are strictly followed throughout the integration process. Additionally, RD may need to implement practices that provide enhanced protection for the Data Subjects, depending on the specific circumstances.

5.11. Inquiries
