Your information is strictly confidential and maintained within the limits necessary for the provision of our services, adhering to the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation as required by UK GDPR.
We will not send you commercial communications or marketing emails. We understand the importance of direct and relevant communication. Therefore, you will only receive communications that are strictly necessary and contractual for the proper development and fulfillment of the document fiduciary service you have contracted with us. This includes, but is not limited to, notifications regarding the status of your documentation, certifications, contractual updates, or any other communication directly related to the execution of our agreements.

- Contact data: Email address, phone number.
- Financial information: Only that necessary for invoicing and payment management related to our services.
- Relevant documentation: Any physical or digital document that you entrust to us for custody and the hash generation process.
All this information is collected with your explicit consent where required, and is fundamental for us to comply with our contractual and regulatory obligations, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures as mandated by UK financial crime legislation.

The information you provide to us is used exclusively for the following purposes, always based on a valid lawful basis under UK GDPR:
- To provide and manage the document fiduciary service you have contracted (contractual necessity).
- To verify your identity and comply with applicable UK financial and data protection regulations (legal obligation).
- To issue the corresponding certificates and generate SHA-256 hashes on the blockchain (contractual necessity).
- To communicate with you regarding the status of your service and any contractual aspects (contractual necessity).
- To maintain internal records for accounting and auditing purposes (legal obligation, legitimate interests).
- To comply with legal and regulatory obligations: As a company operating under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, LatamTrust is bound by UK legal and regulatory requirements pertaining to fiduciary services and data handling. This means that, only if legally compelled or formally requested by relevant UK regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies, we may be obliged to disclose specific client data. Such disclosures will only occur in strict adherence to the applicable laws and judicial processes, ensuring your data is handled with the utmost care even under legal obligation.
Data Protection
We implement robust technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, as required by Article 32 of the UK GDPR. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of advanced encryption for digital storage, strict access controls, multi-factor authentication, and secure physical custody of documents. We rely on expert technology partners who provide us with encryption and storage services designed to be completely secure and resilient against cyber threats. Our data processing activities are regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing compliance. While we are committed to the highest standards of data protection, it is important to understand that our obligations under UK law may, in specific and legally mandated circumstances, require us to comply with requests from UK regulatory or legal authorities.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention periods are determined by legal and regulatory obligations specific to the UK financial services and data protection sectors.
