In some cases, treatment hast legitimate corporate interest, such as prevention of fraud, as long as the interests or rights and liberties of suppliers don’t prevail. In order to contract or render the purchased services, as well as in compliance with certain legal requirements, certain indispensable data must be collected. The supplier is under the obligation to provide personal data (truthful and updated) required by the legal requirement and that which is necessary to execute the agreement. If it fails to do so, we may not manage and perfect the contractual relationship. Upon contracting, they will be informed of which data is mandatory and which is not, so that failure to communicate that which is mandatory will assume the impossibility of carrying out the contract.
