Occasionally, some information may be requested via direct contact by Schwanke Industrial Ltda with users through e-mail or phone.

Your personal information may only be viewed by employees of Schwanke Industrial Ltda, and among these, only those with the appropriate authorizations.

All your data is confidential and any use thereof will comply with this Policy. Schwanke Industrial Ltda will make all reasonable market efforts to ensure the security of our systems and your data.

All your information will, whenever possible, be encrypted, provided this does not prevent its use by Schwanke Industrial Ltda. At any time you may request a copy of your data stored in our systems. We will retain data and information only as long as necessary or relevant for the purposes described in this Policy, or for periods pre-determined by law, or until they are no longer needed to maintain the legitimate interests of Schwanke Industrial Ltda.

By clicking the social media content sharing buttons available on our pages, the user will be publishing content through their profile on the selected network. Schwanke Industrial Ltda does not have access to users' logins and passwords on these networks, nor will it publish content on behalf of the user without their action.

All data, information, and content about you may be considered assets in negotiations in which Schwanke Industrial Ltda is involved. Therefore, we reserve the right to include your data among company assets should it be sold, acquired, or merged with another entity. By accepting this Policy, you agree and are aware of this possibility.

Schwanke Industrial Ltda reserves the right to provide your data and information about you, including your interactions, if required by court order — an action necessary for the company to comply with national laws — or if you expressly authorize it.

All collected data will be deleted from our servers upon your request, or when it is no longer necessary or relevant for providing our services to you, unless there is any other reason for its retention, such as a legal data retention obligation or the need to preserve it to protect the rights of Schwanke Industrial Ltda.
