The data is collected for the purposes specified above, so all data subjects should ensure its accuracy and update it so that the website owner can take the appropriate measures for its processing.

Filling out the forms on this website requires explicit consent from the user for data submission and processing as described above. This consent, given when submitting any personal information, constitutes prior and express authorization for processing the transmitted personal data for one or more of the purposes described above. The website owner is thereby authorized to process the collected personal data to the extent and for the necessary duration to fulfill its purposes.

In compliance with current legislation and its policy, the website owner clarifies that it does not request or encourage, in any way or location, the submission or transmission of personal data concerning philosophical or political beliefs, party or trade union affiliation, religious faith, private life, racial or ethnic origin, as well as data related to sexual life.

Accordingly, the website owner reserves the right to refuse to collect or receive information that violates fundamental rights or appears unlawful, excluding any responsibility for its processing.

Considering the purpose of processing the collected information, the website owner reserves the right to cancel or annul any request if all necessary data for processing is not collected, excluding any responsibility.

4. Retention of Personal Data

The personal data collected as part of any process handled by the website owner may be retained for the necessary period to fulfill its purpose. It may also be kept for future processes or for continuing the promotion or disclosure of actions, services, or products. However, data subjects have the right to request data deletion (right to be forgotten) at any time, as indicated in the following section.

5. Rights of Personal Data Subjects

The length of time personal data is stored and retained varies depending on the purposes chosen by the data subjects but always within the period stipulated by law. However:

The personal data subject may, at any time, request:

Additionally, the data subject may always submit complaints to the competent authority.

6. Security in the Processing of Personal Data

The collected data is processed and stored electronically and in physical form (paper) when necessary.

The website owner has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and any other unlawful forms of processing. Only authorized employees and subcontractors of the website owner have access to personal data, and they are bound by confidentiality obligations.

If, for any reason, a security breach occurs that results in accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, or unauthorized access to personal data, the website owner commits, under applicable legislation, to report the incident to the relevant authorities without undue delay and, where possible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the occurrence.

Additionally, the website owner commits to informing the data subject of any data breaches in accordance with applicable legislation.

Notwithstanding the above, users should take additional necessary security measures, including maintaining an active firewall, updated antivirus and anti-spyware software, and exercising caution when accessing third-party platforms by verifying the existence of digital certificates and the reliability of the address. The website owner disclaims responsibility for any incidents arising from factors beyond its control or due to failure to follow required security precautions.

7. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

The information and personal data accessed by the website owner will never be sold or shared with third parties.

As part of its activities, the website owner may use subcontractors to provide specific services, which may, in some situations, involve these entities accessing users’ or clients’ personal data.

If this occurs, the data subject consents to such sharing, and the website owner commits to implementing necessary and appropriate measures to ensure that entities accessing such personal data are reputable and offer high-level security guarantees. This will be properly outlined and safeguarded in a written contract between the website owner and the subcontractor(s).

All subcontractors processing users’ personal data on behalf of the website owner must adopt necessary technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and any other unlawful forms of processing.

Notwithstanding the above, the website owner remains responsible for processing personal data within legal limits.

8. Access to Third-Party Websites

This privacy policy does not apply to third-party websites or support channels accessed through this website. Whenever visiting another website via this one, users should always read that website’s privacy policy and ensure they agree with its terms before providing any personal data.

The website owner is not responsible for the privacy policies or personal data processing practices applicable to third-party websites, nor for the content made available on such websites.
