If you are registered in the telephone directory, we will share the personal information that you have agreed to have disclosed, with third party entities.

In some cases, we might also share personal information to third parties that we are required to by law or in the cases listed in Section IV or those mentioned in Section VII.
VI. THIRD PARTIES
We have permission to share personal information with a third party (processor) who is a service provider, agent, or a contractor to be able to finish a project or give you service or products you have asked for or agreed to. We have also permission to share information with processors when necessary to protect vital interests, for example when collecting a payment in default. We also share information, for statistical purposes, with processors who work with us on quality control and marketing. We only share with them the personal information necessary for them in the aforementioned purpose and we make an agreement with them where they undertake the duty of keeping your information safe and to only use them for the aforementioned purpose.
We draw your attention to the fact that everything you publish or share on our social media sites is public information.

VII. PROTECTION
Já strongly emphasizes the protection of all personal information, and thus has an internal control system to ensure that appropriate technical and organizational safety measures are always taken.
