Unless the communication occurs at your express request and with your consent, your Data may be disclosed, even without your consent, to supervisory bodies, law enforcement authorities, the judiciary, and competent Authorities upon their explicit request. These entities will process the data as independent data controllers for institutional purposes and/or pursuant to legal obligations during investigations and inspections.

Your Data may also be disclosed to third parties (e.g., partners, professionals, companies managing social networks in cases where consent is given, etc.), as independent data controllers, for the execution of activities instrumental to the purposes mentioned above.

In the case of interaction with social networks such as Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of each data controller regarding the processing of personal data.
