No personal data will be subject to processing if it is not necessary for one or more purposes. All personal data will have its life cycle monitored and recorded from the moment CAMARB gains control over it until the moment it is definitively discarded.
CAMARB controls and processes various types of personal data, namely:
- Data on its directors and administrators for making and recording administrative and legal management decisions at CAMARB, as well as changing its corporate documents;
- Data of its employees and service providers related to the fulfillment of their employment and service provision contracts, the respective payment, internal communication and the management of the work carried out, as well as those data necessary for the production of reports on compliance with the contract to the competent entities and inspection authorities in accordance with the law and for the exercise of the corresponding rights;

- Personal data of participants in events promoted by CAMARB, including the Brazilian Business Arbitration and Mediation Competition – CAMARB.
The personal data processing activities carried out by CAMARB are supported by legal provisions and recorded in specific documents or systems to control the risks of their processing, adopt measures to mitigate these risks and limit the internal and external circulation of personal data. These documents are available for consultation by the competent authorities.
Only people who have a strict need to access certain categories of personal data will have access to them, taking into account the role they play in CAMARB, reducing the accessed information to the minimum necessary through appropriate technical and organizational measures.
Physical and digital documents containing personal data will be stored for as long as their processing purposes subsist, in accordance with applicable legislation. Personal data, on any media, will be deleted securely and in the most irretrievable manner possible, immediately after all their purposes have been exhausted, provided that the safeguard period for compliance with legal obligations or exercise of rights has been reached, or in the event of a request from the respective holder requiring CAMARB to delete such personal data.
Any and all processing of personal data in which CAMARB identifies a likely impact on the fundamental rights and freedoms of the holders or the processing of sensitive personal data, under the terms of the Law, will be subject to an impact assessment on the protection of personal data in which the expected risks and appropriate measures for their mitigation, prevention or elimination will be raised.
CAMARB, with the assistance of the Data Protection Officer (“DPO”), will work on developing good practice standards to ensure the appropriate processing of personal data under the terms above.
