Last updated: July 2, 2026
1. Purpose of this Policy
This Data Protection and Privacy Policy / Privacy Notice explains how Proveedora Mexicana de Monofilamentos, S.A. de C.V. handles information when visitors access or use our website.
Our website is designed as an informational website and does not intentionally request, collect, or require visitors to provide personal data through contact forms, user accounts, subscriptions, purchases, registrations, or similar features.
However, like most websites, certain technical information may be processed automatically when visitors access the website. This may include information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, date and time of visit, referring website, cookie identifiers, security logs, and similar technical data.
Depending on applicable law, some of this technical information may be considered personal data, even if we do not directly identify the visitor.
We are committed to protecting privacy and handling any personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including, where relevant, the General Data Protection Regulation, the UK GDPR, ePrivacy rules, California privacy laws, the Mexican Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties, and other applicable international privacy standards.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to visitors who access or use our website.
It does not apply to third-party websites, services, platforms, or applications that may be linked from our website. Those third parties are responsible for their own privacy and data protection practices.
3. Personal Data We Do Not Intentionally Collect
We do not intentionally ask visitors to provide:
- Name
- Email address

- Payment information
- Government identification data
- Account login details
- Sensitive personal data
- Health, biometric, financial, religious, political, or children’s data
Visitors should avoid submitting personal data through any unintended communication channel unless specifically requested and supported by an appropriate privacy notice.
If the website later adds contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, user accounts, e-commerce functions, job applications, marketing campaigns, or any other feature that directly collects personal data, this Policy must be updated before that collection begins.
4. Information That May Be Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our hosting provider, security tools, analytics tools, cookie technologies, or similar systems.
This information may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Operating system
- Pages visited
- Date and time of access
- Referring URLs
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- Cookie or similar technology identifiers
- Website performance data

- Error logs
This information is generally used to operate, protect, maintain, and improve the website.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for one or more of the following purposes:
- To enable basic website functionality
- To improve website performance
- To understand general website traffic and usage
- To maintain website security
- To remember visitor preferences, where applicable
- To support analytics, where applicable
Where required by law, non-essential cookies, such as analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, will only be used with the visitor’s consent.
Visitors can usually manage or disable cookies through their browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the website functions.
If our website uses a cookie banner or consent management tool, visitors may also manage their cookie preferences through that tool.
6. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection laws require a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Legitimate interests: To operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website, provided that such interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of visitors.
Consent: Where required, for example for non-essential cookies, analytics, marketing technologies, or similar tracking tools.
Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements, court orders, or lawful requests from authorities.
Performance of a contract: Only if a visitor later engages with us through a separate service, agreement, or communication channel.
7. Purposes of Processing
Any automatically collected technical information may be used for the following purposes:
- Operating and displaying the website
- Maintaining website security
- Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, spam, malicious activity, or unauthorized access
- Troubleshooting errors and technical issues
- Measuring website performance
- Understanding general website usage trends
- Managing cookie preferences, where applicable
- Complying with legal obligations
- Protecting our rights, property, systems, and legal interests
We do not use the website to intentionally profile individual visitors or make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
8. Analytics
If we use analytics tools, these tools are intended to help us understand general website usage, such as page visits, traffic sources, device types, user interaction patterns, and performance.
Where possible, we will configure analytics tools to reduce privacy impact, such as by using IP anonymization, aggregated reporting, limited retention periods, and disabling unnecessary data sharing.
If analytics cookies or similar technologies require consent under applicable law, they will not be activated unless consent is provided.
9. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal data.
We may share limited technical information with trusted service providers only where necessary for website operation, hosting, security, analytics, maintenance, troubleshooting, or legal compliance.
These providers may include:
- Website hosting providers
- IT and security service providers
- Analytics providers
- Cookie consent management providers
- Website maintenance providers
- Legal, compliance, or professional advisers
- Authorities, regulators, courts, or other parties where legally required
Service providers are expected to process data only as necessary to provide services to us and to protect the information appropriately.
10. International Data Transfers
Because websites and service providers may operate globally, technical information may be processed in countries other than the visitor’s country of residence.
Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as contractual protections, adequacy mechanisms, data processing agreements, or other lawful transfer tools.
11. Data Retention
We retain technical information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Typical retention periods may include:
- Server logs: retained by the hosting provider in accordance with its internal retention policies and only for as long as necessary to operate, protect, and maintain the website.
- Security logs: retained by the hosting provider or security tools, if any, in accordance with their internal retention policies and only for as long as necessary to prevent, detect, or investigate security incidents.
- Error logs: retained only when generated by the server, hosting provider, or technical website tools, in accordance with their internal retention policies and for as long as necessary to diagnose and correct technical failures.
- Analytics data: not applicable at this time, as the website does not currently use active analytics tools. If analytics tools are added in the future, this Policy must be updated before their implementation or activation.
- Cookie consent records: retained in the visitor’s browser until the visitor changes their preferences, deletes browsing data, or the website updates its consent mechanism.
When data is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Policy, it will be deleted, anonymized, or securely retained only where there is a legal obligation or legitimate reason to do so.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include:
- Secure hosting infrastructure
- Access controls
- Encryption where appropriate
- Website security monitoring
- Regular updates and maintenance
- Limited access to technical logs
- Backup and recovery measures
- Vendor security review, where appropriate
No website or internet transmission is completely secure. However, we aim to maintain safeguards appropriate to the nature and risk of the processing.
13. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent where required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
14. Visitor Rights
Depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law, visitors may have rights regarding their personal data, including the right to:
- Request access to personal data
- Request correction or rectification of inaccurate data
- Request deletion or cancellation of personal data
- Object to certain processing
- Restrict processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request data portability where applicable
- Opt out of certain data sharing, targeted advertising, sale, or profiling where applicable
- Lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority
For visitors in Mexico, these rights include the rights of Access, Rectification, Cancellation, and Opposition, commonly known as ARCO rights, under the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares.
Because our website does not intentionally collect directly identifying information, we may not always be able to identify a visitor based only on technical website data. If a visitor makes a privacy request, we may need reasonable information to verify the request and locate relevant data, without collecting unnecessary additional information.
Requests can be sent to:
Privacy contact: data_protection@pmm-mex.com
15. Mexican Privacy Notice
If this website is operated from Mexico, targets individuals located in Mexico, or otherwise processes personal data subject to Mexican law, Proveedora Mexicana de Monofilamentos, S.A. de C.V. (PMM) will handle personal data in accordance with the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares, its applicable regulations, and the Lineamientos del Aviso de Privacidad.
Although this website does not intentionally request personal data from visitors, certain technical information may be processed automatically when visitors access the website. This may include IP address, device information, browser information, cookies, website logs, and similar technical identifiers. Where such information relates to an identified or identifiable individual, it may be treated as personal data under applicable Mexican data protection law.
In accordance with Mexican data protection principles, we seek to process personal data lawfully, fairly, proportionately, and only for the purposes described in this Policy. These purposes may include operating the website, maintaining security, preventing misuse, troubleshooting errors, measuring performance, managing analytics where applicable, and complying with legal obligations.
Visitors located in Mexico may exercise their ARCO rights, meaning the rights of Access, Rectification, Cancellation, and Opposition with respect to their personal data. Where applicable, visitors may also revoke consent for certain processing activities.
Requests to exercise ARCO rights or revoke consent may be sent to:
Responsible party: Proveedora Mexicana de Monofilamentos, S.A. de C.V. (PMM)
Privacy contact: data_protection@pmm-mex.com
Because this website does not intentionally collect directly identifying information, we may need reasonable information to verify the identity of the requester and locate the relevant data. We will not request more information than necessary for this purpose.
If we use cookies, analytics, hosting providers, security tools, or other third-party service providers, technical information may be shared with those providers only as necessary for website operation, security, analytics, maintenance, troubleshooting, or legal compliance.
Where required, such transfers or remissions will be handled in accordance with Mexican data protection law and applicable privacy notice requirements.
This Policy is intended to function as a general website privacy notice. If the website later adds any feature that directly collects personal data, this Policy must be reviewed and updated before that collection begins.
16. California Privacy Notice
If California privacy laws apply, California residents may have specific rights regarding personal information, including the right to know, access, delete, correct, limit, and opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
We do not sell personal information.
If we use cookies, analytics, advertising technologies, or similar tools that may be considered “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising” under applicable law, we will provide appropriate notice and opt-out mechanisms where required.
California residents may contact us at:
Privacy contact: data_protection@pmm-mex.com
17. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers or extensions may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because there is no universal standard for all such signals, our response may vary depending on the technology used and applicable law.
Where required by applicable law, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for applicable processing activities.
18. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of any third-party websites they visit.
19. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technologies, legal requirements, service providers, or business practices.
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised last updated date.
