Atemca Consultoría, S.A. ("Atelier", "we", "us"), incorporated in Costa Rica, is the data controller for personal information collected through this website (atemca.com). You may contact us at info@atemca.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information you provide directly to us:

• Name, company, and title when you submit our contact form.
• Email address and phone number if you include them in your message.
• Content of your inquiry or message.

We also collect anonymous usage data (pages visited, time on site, country of access) through aggregated analytics tools that do not identify individual users.

3. Purpose of Processing

We use your information solely to:

• Respond to your inquiries and coordinate introductory calls.
• Send relevant information about our services when you have requested it.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations in Costa Rica.

We do not engage in automated profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal effects on users.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Processing is based on: (a) your express consent when submitting a form; (b) pre-contractual measures at your request; and (c) our legitimate interest in improving our services.

5. Confidentiality in M&A Contexts

All information shared within the scope of a merger and acquisition advisory engagement is subject to the non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) executed between the parties. Atelier Empresarial maintains strict protocols for handling sensitive information and limits access to only the team members necessary to deliver the service.

6. Data Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for commercial purposes. We may share data with service providers acting on our behalf (email tools, analytics), always under confidentiality agreements and only for the purposes described in this policy.

7. International Transfers

Some of our service providers may be located outside Costa Rica. In such cases, we ensure adequate protections are in place in accordance with Costa Rica's Personal Data Protection Act (Law No. 8968) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to deliver the requested service and, thereafter, for the period required by applicable legal or tax obligations (generally 5 years). Contact data for prospects is deleted if no business relationship is established within 24 months.

9. Your Rights

Under Costa Rican law and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the right to:
