The Company does not usually collect Personal Data from minors under 18 years of age.

In any case, the Company will expressly inform the purposes for which it requests Sensitive Data and will strictly observe the legal limitations on the Processing of Sensitive Data.
The Company will subject Sensitive Data to Processing only when the Data Subject has granted their authorization, except in cases where the law does not require such authorization. The Company will not condition, in any case, any activity on the delivery of Sensitive Data.
