The servers hosting the portal and subscriber databases are located in controlled environments with physical and logical access controls. Communications between your browser and our servers travel encrypted via TLS certificates, so that the information cannot be read by third parties during transmission.
Despite these measures, no system connected to the internet can be considered completely invulnerable. If a security incident affecting your personal data were to occur, we will act in accordance with Ecuadorian regulations, including notification to the competent authorities when appropriate.
Disclosure to third parties
