Secrecy and security of personal data

STUDY ABROAD undertakes to adopt the technical and organizational measures necessary, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, to ensure the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed, as well as unauthorized disclosure of or access to such data.

In accordance with Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach is understood as any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and ensure, through a legal or contractual obligation, that such confidentiality is respected by employees, associates, and any person to whom the information is made accessible.
