In development and compliance with the law, BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC is responsible for safeguarding and properly handling personal data of natural persons that are stored and processed in databases intended for legitimate purposes, seeking compliance with applicable regulations in Colombia. The entity is designated as the RESPONSIBLE party for the processing of personal data, referring to a natural or legal person, public or private, who alone or in association with others decides on the database and the processing of the data. The PROCESSOR is the one who performs the processing of personal data on behalf of the RESPONSIBLE party.

The personal data that BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC captures and stores, either as RESPONSIBLE or PROCESSOR as applicable, will be processed in compliance with the principles and regulations outlined in Colombian laws and those established in this policy, the existing national legislation applicable to associated companies located outside Colombia, and best practices related to personal data protection regulations.

For the purposes of responsibility in data management, we have defined as stakeholders, among others, and without limiting them: natural and legal persons who, despite having their own objectives (employees, ethnic communities, suppliers, investors, business partners, sponsors, and any other type of data subject), are directly or indirectly related to the development of BIOFIX’s corporate purpose. Thus, the achievement of these is currently or will be in the future linked to the actions of the company.

The databases in which BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC acts as RESPONSIBLE will be processed according to the following general purposes:

For compliance with obligations and commitments arising from relationships, contractual or not, existing with each type of audience.
For compliance with legal obligations involving personal data of its stakeholders.
For commercial management and relationships with its stakeholders.
For prospective analysis of trends and preferences of its stakeholders concerning its goods and services.
To understand the future needs of its stakeholders in order to innovate and satisfy them.
To communicate to its stakeholders information about its publications, plantings, registrations, events, business activities, environmental fairs, and advertising related to its business activity, whether goods or services.
To carry out corporate social responsibility activities for its stakeholders.

In each business process, depending on the personal data collected and the processing to be carried out, the specific purposes of such processing will be informed in advance in the respective privacy notice, without prejudice to the processing authorized by law.

For personal data in which BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC acts as PROCESSOR, these will be processed according to the following general purposes. From now on, we will refer to the company, natural or legal person who has contractually granted BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC the processing of the database as THE DATA SUBJECT:

For compliance with obligations and commitments arising from relationships, contractual or not, existing with each type of audience of THE DATA SUBJECT.
For compliance with legal obligations involving personal data of the stakeholders of THE DATA SUBJECT.
For commercial management and relationships of THE DATA SUBJECT with its stakeholders.

To communicate to its stakeholders of THE DATA SUBJECT information about publications, plantings, registrations, events, business activities, environmental fairs, and advertising related to their business activity, whether goods or services.
To carry out corporate social responsibility activities for the stakeholders of THE DATA SUBJECT.

In any case, in our role as PROCESSORS, the policy on data processing and privacy that will govern the processing of such data will be that of THE DATA SUBJECT.

The navigation systems of the websites of BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC or THE DATA SUBJECT collect personal data, and due to the nature of this, the information received, captured, or collected may allow association with third-party data.

Obtaining authorization from THE DATA SUBJECT is crucial to exercise the actions recognized by law in the area of personal data protection and habeas data. For the exercise of habeas data, the holder of personal data or anyone who demonstrates a legitimate interest according to the applicable regulations may do so by contacting BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC via email at [email protected], visiting the website www.biofix.co, or sending a physical communication to: Cra. 45 # 108A-50 Edificio Bosch in Bogotá D.C., Colombia.

Once BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC receives the request, it will respond within the legal term of ten (10) business days, which may be extended by an additional five (5) days, with prior communication to the individual exercising this right. The processing of personal data conducted by BIOFIX CONSULTORÍA S.A.S. BIC, in accordance with this policy, will be based on the regulations, procedures, and instructions adopted by the company to comply with the applicable legislation on personal information protection.

This Policy will be in effect as of November 2023.
