Users may withdraw this consent at any time and delete their registration, by the means indicated above, without, however, affecting the legitimacy of the previous processing of their data.

The processing of personal data for the purpose of processing orders, returns and communication with customers, processing requests for information and any complaints is based on the need for such processing for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for pre-contractual steps at the request of the holders. In these cases, the processing of data is essential to allow the conclusion and execution of the contract, as well as to comply with legal requirements.

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or acquire assets, interests in companies or commercial establishments. In this type of transaction, users' personal data are usually one of the assets that can be transferred, but remain subject to the guarantees provided herein. If another entity acquires our business, all or a substantial part of our assets, or assets related to the Conserveira do Sul website, users' personal data will be disclosed to that same entity as part of the due diligence process and will be transferred to that entity as one of the transferred assets. In addition, if any insolvency or reorganization process occurs or is imposed on us, users' personal data will be considered as an asset that belongs to us and as such it is possible that they will be sold or transferred to third parties.

We may also transfer and disclose personal data to third parties when a legal obligation so requires, for example:

  • To comply with a legal obligation;
  • At the request of governmental or judicial authorities;
  • To verify or enforce our site's Terms and Conditions or other applicable regulations;
