This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, for what purpose, how we process and protect it, with whom we share it, and what rights you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Data controller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party responsible for processing personal data is the <strong>Organizing Committee of the DLE Symposium 2026<\/strong>, organized by the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) of the Universidad de Chile, within the framework of the BRIDGE Project (Chile\u2013Germany scientific cooperation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Address:<\/strong> Beauchef 851, Santiago, Chile (FCFM, Universidad de Chile).<\/li><li><strong>Contact email for privacy matters:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:bridge-symposium@amtc.cl\">bridge-symposium@amtc.cl<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What personal data we collect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect the following categories of data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Identification and contact data:<\/strong> first name, last name, email, phone, institution or organization, and country.<\/li><li><strong>Registration data:<\/strong> participation category (national or international) and any other information you provide when registering.<\/li><li><strong>Billing data:<\/strong> company name, RUT or tax ID, and the data needed to issue a boleta, factura or <em>invoice<\/em>.<\/li><li><strong>Payment data:<\/strong> handled by the payment gateways (see section 5).

Legal basis for processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We process your data on the basis of: (i) the <strong>performance of your registration<\/strong> and the relationship arising from your participation; (ii) your <strong>consent<\/strong>, when we request it (for example, for communications or non-essential cookies); (iii) <strong>compliance with legal obligations<\/strong>; and (iv) our <strong>legitimate interest<\/strong> in managing and improving the event and the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. E-commerce and payment methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online registrations and payments are handled through <strong>WooCommerce<\/strong> and external payment gateways. Payment data is transmitted in encrypted form and processed directly by those gateways under their own security standards (including the PCI-DSS standard). <strong>We do not store your full card details<\/strong> on our servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WooCommerce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use WooCommerce as our e-commerce platform to manage registrations and orders. WooCommerce stores the order data on our site (name, contact and billing details, and the registration details) and uses cookies necessary to manage the cart and the purchase session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mercado Pago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For credit or debit card payments (mainly national participants) we use <strong>Mercado Pago<\/strong>. When you choose this method, your payment data is processed by Mercado Pago in accordance with its own privacy policy, available on its official website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercadopago.cl\/privacidad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.mercadopago.cl\/privacidad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PayPal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For international payments we use <strong>PayPal<\/strong>. When paying via PayPal, your data is processed by that platform in accordance with its own privacy policy, available on its official website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cl\/legalhub\/privacy-full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.paypal.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bank transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose to pay by bank transfer, we will ask you for the payment receipt through a form. That receipt is used solely to verify and reconcile your payment and to issue the corresponding documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Contact form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you use our contact form, we collect the data you choose to provide (such as name, email, message and, where applicable, attachments). This data is used solely to handle and follow up on your inquiry, and is kept for as long as necessary for that purpose. Form submissions may be protected by anti-spam mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Strictly necessary cookies:<\/strong> essential for the site to function, such as those that manage the WooCommerce cart and purchase session, language selection or currency.<\/li><li><strong>Analytics or performance cookies:<\/strong> allow us to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used in order to improve it.<\/li><li><strong>Third-party cookies:<\/strong> set by the payment gateways and by external services we integrate.<\/li><li><strong>Marketing cookies (where applicable):<\/strong> if used, they serve to measure the event's reach or to display relevant content.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can configure or delete cookies at any time from your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the registration and payment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Analytics and marketing tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand how the site is used and improve the experience, we may use web analytics tools (for example, traffic measurement and statistics services) that collect information in aggregate and, where possible, anonymized form. We may also use marketing tools or tracking pixels to promote the event. Where these tools require your consent, we will request it beforehand. We do not use this data to make automated decisions that significantly affect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Who we share your data with<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Payment gateways<\/strong> (Mercado Pago and PayPal), to process your payments.<\/li><li><strong>Technology service providers<\/strong> (web hosting, the WooCommerce platform and analytics tools), which act as data processors following our instructions.<\/li><li><strong>Organizing and collaborating institutions<\/strong> of the BRIDGE Project, when necessary to manage the event.<\/li><li><strong>Public authorities<\/strong>, when there is a legal obligation to do so.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. International transfers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since this is an international cooperation event with participants and providers from different countries, some of your data may be processed outside Chile (for example, by international payment gateways such as PayPal). In such cases, we seek to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Data retention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and, thereafter, for the periods required by applicable law (for example, accounting and tax obligations). When no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Information security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss or alteration, including the use of encrypted connections (HTTPS) and payment processing by providers that meet recognized security standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Your rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with Chilean personal data protection law (Law No. 19,628 and its update through Law No. 21,719) and, where applicable, with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for participants residing in the EU, you may exercise the following rights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Access the personal data we process about you.<\/li><li>Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.<\/li><li>Request the deletion or cancellation of your data.<\/li><li>Object to or restrict certain processing.<\/li><li>Request the portability of your data, where applicable.<\/li><li>Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To exercise these rights, write to us at <a href=\"mailto:bridge-symposium@amtc.cl\">bridge-symposium@amtc.cl<\/a> stating your request.
