This document is an integral part of Pagadito's Terms of Use and Conditions of Use. User consents from the time of registration on the website, to the use of his/her information pursuant to these Policies.
 
Pagadito has always considered the processing of personal data to be a valuable privilege, and its main concern is to ensure that this information is duly protected while respecting the principles of honesty, lawfulness and transparency. On May 25, 2018, the EU Regulation 2016/679 on the processing of personal data and the free circulation of such data (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR") will become directly applicable in all European Union Member States.
 
Pagadito's business model requires the collection and disclosure of Users’ information in some cases. Pagadito believes that privacy of its User's information is highly important. Therefore, precautions are taken to safeguard such information by means of effective computer security systems.
 
This section includes a detailed description of how Pagadito manages such information for User to know beforehand of such circumstances.
