This policy is mandatory for the Company, its administrators, employees, and officials, underscoring its significance in our operations.

2. PRINCIPLES FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA.
The processing of personal data must be carried out in compliance with the general and special regulations on the subject and for activities permitted by law.

2.1 Principles Related to the Collection of Personal Data.
Principle of Freedom: The collection of data is a process that respects the individual's rights. It may only be carried out with the prior, express and informed authorization of the Owner. Personal data may not be obtained or disclosed without the prior consent of the Owner or in the absence of a legal or judicial mandate that waives consent. The Owner of the data must be informed in a clear, sufficient and prior manner about the purpose of the information provided. Therefore, data may not be collected without a precise specification of the purpose thereof.
The principle of freedom must be observed both for the case of data collected through forms and those that are part of the annexes or documents that the data owners provide to RETORNO S.A.S.
Principle of Limitation of Collection: Only the personal data that is strictly necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes of the treatment must be collected in such a way that the registration and disclosure of data that is not closely related to the objective of the treatment is prohibited. Consequently, everything reasonably possible must be done to limit the processing of personal data to the minimum necessary. That is, the data must be (i) adequate, (ii) pertinent, and (iii) in accordance with the purposes for which they were intended.
2.2 Principles Related to the Use of Personal Data.
The principle of purpose in data use is a fundamental aspect of data processing. It stipulates that the treatment must obey a legitimate purpose in accordance with the Constitution and the Law, which must be informed to the Owner. The data subject must be informed in a clear, sufficient, and prior manner about the purpose of the information provided, and data may not be collected without a specific purpose.
The principle of temporality in data retention is crucial. It states that personal data will only be kept for the reasonable and necessary time to fulfill the purpose of the processing and the legal requirements or instructions of the surveillance and control authorities or other competent authorities. The data will be kept when necessary for the fulfillment of a legal or contractual obligation. To determine the term of the processing, the rules applicable to each purpose, as well as the administrative, accounting, fiscal, legal, and historical aspects of the information, will be considered.
2.3 Principles Related to the Quality of Information.
Principle of Truthfulness or Quality: the information subject to processing must be truthful, complete, accurate, up-to-date, verifiable and understandable. The processing of partial, incomplete, fractioned or misleading data is prohibited. Reasonable measures must be taken to ensure that the data is accurate and sufficient and, when requested by the Owner or when RETORNO S.A.S. determines it, it is updated, rectified or deleted when appropriate.
2.4. Principles Related to the Protection, Access and Circulation of Personal Data.
Security Principle: Each person linked to RETORNO S.A.S. must comply with the technical, human, and administrative measures established by the entity to secure personal data and avoid its adulteration, loss, consultation, use, or unauthorized or fraudulent access.
Transparency Principle: The treatment must guarantee the owner's right to obtain information about the existence of data that concerns him/her at any time and without restrictions. This principle ensures that the Owner is always aware of the data being collected and processed, empowering them to make informed decisions about their personal information.
Restricted Access Principle: Only the following persons will be allowed access to personal data:
2.4.1. Persons authorized by the Owner of the data
2.4.2 A las personas que por mandato legal u orden judicial sean autorizadas para conocer la información del titular del dato.
Principle of Restricted Circulation: Personal data may only be sent or provided to the following persons:
1. The data owner
2. Persons authorized by the data owner
3. Public or administrative entities in the exercise of their legal functions or by court order

Any new project within the Company that involves the Processing of Personal Data must be consulted with THE INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER, who is the person and department in charge of the data protection function to ensure compliance with the policy and the measures necessary to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Data.
