Collection and treatment

ASSOCIATION RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of ICA to keep safe and integrate any and all information collected or treated by the company in the course of its functions, respecting and implementing data protection measures in accordance with current legislation.

RESPONSIBILITY OF CUSTOMERS AND USERS

In order to guarantee the security of the data of the partners and clients, ICA has the right to condition the access to the equipment and services available by means of passwords or access codes. It is the responsibility of the client to keep in a safe and non-transferable way the accesses provided by ICA, in order not to allow the loss or harmful use of these by third parties.
As the Internet is considered to be a means of transmitting data that is not secure and is liable to cause loss or violation of the information contained therein, it is the Customer's responsibility to safeguard any sensitive information (passwords, access codes, etc.) provided by ICA or not.
ICA is not responsible for damages caused by third parties or natural causes, so the client is responsible for taking adequate protection measures to its infrastructure.
