These clauses mention this Manual and its location on the company's website, for your reference.

In contracts for the provision of external services, when the contractor requires personal data, the company will provide said information provided that there is prior and express authorization from the Owner of the personal data for this transfer. Excluding from this authorization are personal data of a public nature defined in section 2 of article 3 of Regulatory Decree 1377 of 2013 and those contained in public records.

In these cases, third parties are Data Processors and their contracts will include clauses that specify the purposes and processing authorized by the company and precisely delimit the use that these third parties can give to those, as well as the obligations and duties established in Law 1581 of 2012 and Regulatory Decree 1377 of 2013, including the necessary security measures to guarantee at all times the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal information entrusted for processing.

4.8 Transfer and transmission of personal data: For the transmission and transfer of personal data, the following rules apply:

4.9 Video Surveillance Systems: Video surveillance systems (VS) or security cameras implemented to ensure the safety of property or people in a specific location are considered an ideal means for monitoring and observing activities in the business, workplace, and public spheres.

This monitoring and observation task carried out through the SV, involves the collection of images of people, that is, personal data in accordance with the definition contained in literal c) of article 3 of Law 1581 of 2012, "By which general provisions are issued for the protection of personal data", understood as "any information linked to or that can be associated with one or more specific or determinable natural persons."

Consequently, in the handling or processing of data, the company will observe the principles established in the standard, that is, legality, purpose, freedom, quality or veracity, security, confidentiality, restricted access and circulation, and transparency, as well as the other provisions contained in the General Regime for the Protection of Personal Data.

This policy applies to the capture of images of individuals using cameras, video cameras, analog or digital, IP cameras or mini-cameras, closed-circuit television (CCTV) and, in general, any means by which the processing of images of personal data subjects is carried out, especially for surveillance purposes.

4.9.1 Rights of the Personal Data Subject

4.9.2 Processing of Images of Children and Adolescents: For the Processing of images of children and adolescents, the company will respect their prevailing rights and will only collect them when (i) it responds to and respects their best interests, and (ii) it ensures respect for their fundamental rights.

  • In all cases, when the company uses SV that involves the processing of images of children and/or adolescents, it will observe the following rules:
  • Ensure the security and confidentiality of minors' personal data. Obtain the authorization and consent of the minors' parents or legal guardians, taking into account their maturity, autonomy, and ability to understand the matter.
  • Limit the collection and other processing of images to what is proportional and appropriate in consideration of the previously reported purpose.

Only the child's or adolescent's parent and/or legal guardian may access the child's or adolescent's images. Therefore, if images of classes and/or activities featuring other children or adolescents are to be accessed or circulated, authorization from the child's or adolescent's parents and/or legal guardians will be requested.

Whenever the implementation of SV also involves the processing of personal data of other Data Subjects, such as managers, administrative staff, parents, etc., the company will respect their rights and comply with the obligations that such status imposes on them.
