The purpose of this privacy policy is to help users understand the procedures Hera Law uses in the area of privacy, including what personal data is collected, why it is collected, how it is used, how it is protected, and what individual rights users have.

This privacy policy shall not apply in terms of privacy, information, and other practices by third parties, including third parties that operate websites or services referred to on the site wwwheralaw.com. Our liability in this regard is therefore excluded.

This privacy policy will apply to all personal data that Hera Law acquires or processes when users interact with the wwwheralaw.com website. Examples include: purchasing and using our services, responding to marketing communications, and contacting Hera Law customer service. These interactions may involve visitors, customers, suppliers, or partners.

Also, Hera Law processes personal data in areas other than the wwwheralaw.com site, which requires other privacy policies.

General information about data processing

In this privacy policy, the term “personal data” means information that relates to users. It allows us to identify users, either directly or in combination with other information in our possession.

Users of the Site in general

Hera Law processes users’ data based on their consent. By using or consulting the Hera Law site users explicitly agree to this privacy policy and consent to the processing of their personal data in relation to the purposes and methods described below, including disclosure to third parties, if necessary, for the provision of the service. The provision of data and, consequently, consent to its collection and processing is optional. The user may withhold consent and may revoke the consent given at any time. However, it is possible that the refusal of consent may make it impossible to provide certain services, and the browsing experience on the site may be affected.

Clients

Hera Law will make every effort, in accordance with the electronic modality of the service, to maintain the utmost confidentiality in the provision of the services. All texts, the nature of the work performed, the client’s personal data communicated for translation purposes and any information transmitted by the client to Hera Law will be subject to the strictest confidentiality, and the personal data collected will be treated in accordance with the provisions of Mexican law.

In particular, Hera Law will use the information provided for the performance of the contract (and for the possible implementation of pre-contractual measures) and such information may not be disclosed publicly or to third parties without the prior written consent of the client, except to its authorized employees or its authorized subcontractors, in case their operational or consultative intervention requires knowledge of such information. The foregoing warranties shall not apply if Hera Law is required by law to disclose such information, or in the event that such information is, or becomes, part of the public domain whether or not Hera Law discloses it. Similarly, in cases where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, or where the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of Hera Law or a third party that outweighs the rights of the data subject.

Suppliers and collaborators

The personal data of our suppliers and collaborators (suppliers, translators, interpreters, graphic designers, affiliates, consultants, etc.) will be treated as strictly confidential. The only information that will be communicated to third parties will be the information published on our sites, such as user name, mother tongue, work experience, and studies. Other information such as first name, last name, date of birth, address, and telephone number will be processed only by Hera Law and its authorized suppliers (i.e. accountants, banks, etc.) solely for the purpose of maintaining a proper working relationship and complying with any legal obligations.

The above-mentioned information is automatically processed and collected on an exclusively aggregated basis in order to verify the correct functioning of the site, as well as for security purposes. For security purposes (spam filters, firewalls, virus detection), the automatically recorded data may also include personal data such as the IP address (that which uniquely identifies, at least at that moment, the originating host), which could be used – in compliance with current legislation on this matter – to block attempts to damage the site, harm other users, the performance of malicious activities and activities constituting a crime.
