The storage of data collected by Tupi reflects our commitment to the security and privacy of your data. We employ technical protection measures and solutions to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and inviolability of your data. Additionally, we have security measures appropriate to the risks and access control to the stored information.

6. What We Do to Keep Your Data Secure?

To ensure the security of your information, we employ a variety of physical, electronic, and managerial tools designed specifically to protect your privacy. These measures include physical security systems, such as restricted access control to sensitive areas, as well as advanced encryption technologies to protect data transmitted over the internet. We apply these tools considering the nature of the collected data, the context and purpose of the processing, and the risks that any breaches would pose to the rights and freedoms of the data subjects.

Tupi and BYD do Brasil are committed to adopting the best practices to prevent security incidents. However, it is necessary to highlight that no webpage and/or virtual platform is entirely secure and free from risks. It is possible that, despite all our security protocols, problems solely caused by third parties may occur, such as cyberattacks by hackers, or also due to the negligence or recklessness of the user/client themselves.

In case of security incidents that may generate relevant risk or harm to data subjects, we will notify the affected parties and the National Data Protection Authority about the occurrence, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD).

7. With Whom Your Data Can Be Shared?

Your data may be shared with our affiliated companies. They will receive your data only to the extent necessary for the purposes already related in item 2 above, and all our contracts are guided by the data protection norms of the Brazilian legal system.

Additionally, there are other situations in which your data may be shared, which are:

I – Legal determination, request, requisition, or court order, with competent judicial, administrative, or governmental authorities;
