How do we treat electronic messages sent to and from RESPADA?

All electronic messages sent to and from RESPADA are automatically retained in a distinct journaling system which preserves the evidential weight of the e-mails.

Every step of the process, as well as the search criteria used, are logged in an audit trail. All emails are disposed of after the applicable retention period has expired.

What should you consider when sending data over the Internet?

The Internet is generally not regarded as a secure environment, and information sent via the Internet (such as to or from the RESPADA Website or via electronic message) may be accessed by unauthorized third parties, potentially leading to disclosures, changes in content or technical failures. Even if both sender and receiver are located in the same country, information sent via the Internet may be transmitted across international borders and be forwarded to a country with a lower data protection level than exists in your country of residence. Please note that we accept no responsibility or liability for the security of your information whilst in transit over the Internet to RESPADA. In order to protect your privacy we would like to remind you that you may choose another means of communication with RESPADA, where you deem it appropriate.
