Welcome to our Privacy Policy! Here we will explain who we are, how we take care of your information, and what protection measures we adopt to ensure the highest possible security in our relationship.

Our goal is for you to make the best financial decisions, with transparency and security. It is important for you to know that we protect your information just as we protect our own, and we always respect your privacy.

We also aim to clarify how your data is handled by companies in our group. For this, we present our Privacy Policy, or “Policy,” which complies with international and national data protection standards.

This Policy explains how your personal data will be used on our website to promote not only our services, products, and publications but also those of third parties.

It is important to emphasize that these guidelines do not apply to websites or other related services over which we have no control, and therefore, we are not responsible for the relationships established between you and the products and services of third parties that may be recommended to you.

To start, let’s answer a very common question:

What is data? What data are we talking about?

Answering this question is very important, so we will explain some words or terms that will be used from now on:

Personal Data: means any information provided and/or collected by Estoa and/or its affiliates, by any means, even if public, that directly identifies you, or that, when used in combination with other information treated by Estoa, is capable of identifying you. Remember that your Personal Data can be in any media or format, including electronic or computerized records, as well as paper-based files.

Non-Personal Data: are those that do not allow your identification, such as which pages of the site were visited by the user, when they were visited, which hyperlinks were clicked, which content or services were requested or indicated, among other data that do not provide personal information, i.e., do not allow your identification.

User: any natural or legal person who accesses or uses, by any means, including mobile devices, cell phones, tablets, personal computers, internet browsers, and other means of access that may be developed.

The user of a website is also known as the Data Subject. In this “Policy,” you may also be referred to as a user.

How can we access your data?

The amount and type of information collected by Estoa can vary according to your will, authorization, and the use you make of our websites and our tools.

Let’s explain how we can access your data:

Data provided by you: are the data you provide when you register and/or fill out forms offered by Estoa, to access free content on our websites and platforms (e-books, quizzes, and similar) or to participate in the personnel selection process. For example, these are data such as email, full name, phone number, address, and date of birth.

Data from third parties: we may also collect data about you from publicly available sources, service providers, and partners who provide us with your data in accordance with applicable law and respecting your privacy rights. Other websites, such as Facebook, Google, and Instagram, may provide us with some data, provided you have previously authorized them, so that Estoa can enhance your experience by providing you with the best products and services.

Navigation data: are the data we obtain even when you do not fill out forms or request any free content from Estoa. Navigation data, by themselves, cannot be considered personal data, therefore, they are non-personal data that indicate, for example, which pages of the site were visited, when they were visited, on which hyperlinks you clicked, which content or services were requested or indicated by you, your approximate location (latitude and longitude); your IP address; information from your access device (such as unit identifier, advertising identifier, name and type of operating system); and information about your internet connection, among others.

How do we use your data?
