III.-USER CONSENT:

The user shall be understood to accept the conditions established from the moment they provide their contact data through any of the channels available on the page, particularly through the contact form.

The data collected—in principle, the name and the email address—are appropriate, pertinent, and non-excessive in relation to the specific purposes of providing the information requested by the user. Their specific purpose is to respond to users’ requests for information about the company’s services.

However, we must inform you that the consent granted may always be revoked at any time, at which point we shall immediately stop using them for any purposes not related to providing the service, keeping them blocked for the minimum time necessary to respond to potential legal liabilities.

IV.- WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS?

We shall process the following personal data for the legitimate purposes that shall be explained below:

Data necessary to respond to requests for information:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company
  • Phone number

V.- PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING.

Why do we process your personal data?

To fulfill our objectives, we process data for the following purposes:

  • Respond to users’ requests for information about the services provided by the company.
  • When services are contracted, to properly manage administrative, accounting, and fiscal matters with the client.

VI.- HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

The amount of time personal data is held shall vary depending on the function of the service provided and the legal basis of the consent granted by the user. In principle, they shall be held for as long as you remain a client of the company.

However, irrespective of the above, notwithstanding our no longer using your data to provide you the service or send you any type of commercial communication, we are legally obliged to keep your data blocked during the required statutory limitation period for the obligations that may have arisen from the processing and/or the applicable limitation periods, and they shall remain at the disposal of the competent authorities for possible liabilities arising from their processing.

In accordance with Article 17.3 of the GDPR, data blocking is understood to be the right to “retention” as an exception to the right to erasure. This means that the data shall not be used by or accessible to anyone, and that they shall only be used in the event that there is any legal requirement or liability claim in relation to them. The data shall finally be deleted once the statutory limitation period has passed.

VII.-LEGAL STANDING

We process your data on the legal basis of your consent. In any case, you shall always have full rights over your personal data and how they are used, which you may exercise at any time.

As mentioned above, collecting a certain minimum amount of information is required to be able to provide you with the proper service, so the data collected are pertinent and never excessive. We never ask for any data that is not necessary for the established purposes.

VIII.-RECIPIENTS

Who do we transfer your data to?

The data collected shall never be transferred without your express authorization. In the event that it is necessary to contract certain services from providers that may require such a transfer, the corresponding data access contracts shall be signed in the framework of Article 28 of the GDPR.

Notwithstanding the above, the DATA CONTROLLER shall not transfer your data, except to relevant Government Agencies, the Tax Agency, State Security Forces, Judges and Courts, when legally required to provide them.

Likewise, the data subject can request the following from the controller: rectification, erasure, or limitation of data and of processing.

To facilitate the user’s exercise of this right, we provide the following link to the form they must complete for the request:

 X.- SECURITY LEVEL

The DATA CONTROLLER shall implement the necessary technical and organizational measures to guarantee the security of the personal data, in accordance with the provisions of (EU) REGULATION 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of April 27, 2016 (GDPR), thus preventing their loss or alteration or unauthorized access to them.

The user is responsible for not transferring their account data to third parties, to ensure it remains inaccessible to unauthorized people. Otherwise, the DATA CONTROLLER guarantees that the security measures taken in relation to your account also comply with the security standards on data protection.

In any case, if despite complying with all the necessary security measures, the website were to suffer a security breach that affected your legitimate interests or rights, the DATA CONTROLLER agrees to inform the Supervisory Authority—in this case, the Spanish Data Protection Agency—within 72 hours, as well as all users who may have been affected.

 XI.- INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

An International Data Transfer is understood to be any communication of your personal data to countries located outside the European Union, and more specifically outside the European Economic Space (EES). There are exceptions of countries outside this European space that are not considered to be international transfers, because the recipients are countries that the European Data Protection Commission considers to be suitable because they comply with European data protection standards.

The DATA CONTROLLER does not currently have any services contracted with providers located outside the European Economic Space (EES). In any case, given its activity, it may be necessary to transfer the essential data in the framework of the services provided for their correct provision, with this transfer being essential to ensure full performance. In some cases, depending on the type of service contracted by the user, it may be necessary to transfer data internationally. Some countries outside the EES are recognized by the European Commission as guaranteeing an appropriate level of data protection in accordance with EES standards.

In the event that transfers are made to countries not considered suitable by the European Commission, the DATA CONTROLLER shall sign the contracts, guarantees, and safeguards necessary to preserve their privacy.

For more information about how your privacy is guaranteed, you can contact the Data Controller at dpo@transparentedge.eu, at the mailing address indicated above, or at the address of our Data Protection Officer (DPO) dpo@transparentedge.eu.

XII.- MINORS

In accordance with the provisions of Spanish Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on Personal Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights, the minimum age to authorize the processing of data is 14 years old.

However, notwithstanding the above, for persons under 18 years of age, the contracting of services shall require the prior consent of their parents or guardians.

The DATA CONTROLLER reserves the right to take all possible measures to confirm the age of users, but cannot be liable for any non-compliance in this regard. However, if the data controller were to have the slightest doubt about the user’s age, it may restrict their access and not provide the passwords to create the registered user account or cancel the account if it has already been created.

XIII.-CONFIDENTIALITY

The personal data that is collected shall be processed with full confidentiality, and we agree to keep them secret, except to use and transfer them in the framework of the services provided, which you accept from the moment you sign up. The data are guaranteed to be kept confidential, taking all the necessary measures to prevent them from being lost or altered, or from unauthorized access or processing, in accordance with applicable law.

XIV.- THIRD-PARTY PERSONAL DATA MANAGED BY YOU

In the event that you, as a client, use any of our products and/or services to store, transmit, or process on our systems the personal data of third parties, you shall be solely responsible for managing, processing, guaranteeing, and protecting those personal data. Clients are also responsible for encrypting them and restricting access to them.

Our relationship with our clients is exclusive and we assume no liability regarding third-party data.

Likewise, our clients are responsible for complying with the legal requirements applicable to the content they host or manage through our systems. Thus, if there is a security incident that involves unauthorized access by third parties to personal data managed by you, TRANSPARENT EDGE SERVICES SL cannot ever be liable for any possible claims from affected third parties or any disciplinary procedure from the Supervisory Authority.

XV.- MODIFICATION OF THE PRIVACY POLICY

The DATA CONTROLLER reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy, at its sole discretion, or especially as a result of legislative, jurisprudential, or doctrinal changes of the Spanish Data Protection Agency. We, therefore, ask you to review the Policy every now and then in order to stay informed at all times.
