The person responsible for processing the data domiciled in the Republic of Panama. The processing of data whose origin or storage is in Panamanian territory. The processing of data carried out within the framework of a commercial activity, through the Internet or other means of electronic or digital communication, in relation to activities directed at the Panamanian market.
