This Privacy Policy also applies to personal data processing activities carried out by entities that, in the future, will join the CASTRO GROUP in a domain relationship. It is up to these entities, as well as to the entities that currently make up the CASTRO GROUP, to ensure that data subjects are informed about the existence and content of this Privacy Policy.
Regarding companies' personal data processing activities regarding the "asset management" sector, this Privacy Policy also applies to data processing activities conducted by the entities under their management (funds and corporations).
In the course of their activities, CASTRO GROUP companies collect and process personal data from various owners, including:
(all hereinafter jointly referred to, for the purposes of this policy, as"data subjects").
Depending on the processing activity in question, the CASTRO GROUP company is responsible for the treatment, which, in this processing activity, determines the purposes and means of processing the personal data of the data subjects (the"Responsible for the Relevant Treatment").
