The responsible party will process your personal data for the necessary period of time, depending on each case.

Regarding the dispatch of our value-added contents, we will process your data for a period of three years, starting from your last interaction with us, or until you express your desire to cancel your subscription (whichever happens first).

Once these periods have elapsed, we will keep your data blocked for the legally established periods and for the statute of limitations on any claims that may be filed in relation to liability.

Updating data:

We ask that you inform us immediately of any modification of your personal data to keep the information in our files up to date and in order to correct any errors. In this sense, you represent and warrant that the information and the data you have provided are precise, current and true.

Authorization for the processing of personal data:

The responsible party processes your personal data for several purposes. Every time your data is processed, it must be based on a form of authorization, as set forth in pertinent legislation.

The companies of the Group base their data processing on the following forms of authorization:

Consent: You have expressed your clear and specific consent to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g. subscription to receive contents).
Legal requirement: The law requires that the data are processed and are sometimes released to certain institutions (e.g. armed forces and police)
Legitimate interest of the Company, provided that its interest, rights or liberty do not prevail over said interest.

A.- Consent

The Company sometimes collects your personal data with your prior authorization and expressed consent.

For example, when we ask to send our contents to your email address.

For example, when we manage your comments and respond to any query or suggestion submitted through our official form.

Consequence of failure to provide data

The data (and consent) that we request are necessary for the aforementioned processing and purposes. Failure to provide any of the data will prevent us from fulfilling the indicated purpose. Your acceptance of our processing is absolutely voluntary, and your refusal will have absolutely no detrimental effect on you.

B.- Legal requirement

In certain circumstances and pursuant to pertinent legislation, the Company is required (whether or not you express your consent) to process and/or release certain personal data to certain entities.

C.- Legitimate interest of the Company

In addition to the aforementioned scenarios (legal requirement, consent), we are able to use your personal data for several reasons.

This legal basis of processing is the legitimate interest.

In general terms, the legal basis of the legitimate interest means that we may process your personal data if we have a real and rightful reason to do so, provided that our processing is not detrimental to your rights and interests (as we shall see, our interests and yours often coincide fully or partially).

Examples of our legitimate interests and our processing based on said interests

We are referring to the personal data you have submitted or data that we have observed or collected in the course of our relationship or interaction with you.

The potential impact on you and on your rights and interests has been carefully evaluated by the company and, when necessary, we have taken specific protective measures to mitigate this impact on you and your interests.

For example, we will retain your IP address as a means of prevention and protection of our computer security on the web page.

For example, based on our legitimate interest in offering you new services, we may send you commercial advertising in relation to services or contents similar to those you have already received. This legitimate interest is recognized under article 21.2 of the Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce Act (LSSI in Spanish) and report 195/2017 of Spanish data-protection agency AEPD.

Recipients

The responsible party may release your personal data to third parties in the following cases:

a.-Consent

In the event that you express your consent.

In the scenarios in which the Company is required by law.

Providing of third-party services with access to personal data

In certain cases, we work with external companies or providers that access your personal data in order to collaborate with us by providing you with specific services, such as tech support or cloud hosting of information and cloud backup.

With all of these companies, we sign corresponding agreements on confidentiality and protection of personal data as a means of ensuring that the use of the data to which our collaborators are given access to provide services is in keeping with legislation in force on data protection.

Security

The responsible party takes all necessary measures related to security, technical issues and organization to protect your personal data from loss or misuse. For example, your data are stored in a safe operating environment without public access. In some cases, your personal data are encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology during transmission. This means that an encryption procedure is used that is authorized for communication between your computer and the servers, provided that your browser is able to use SSL technology.

If you wish to contact the responsible party by email, remember that we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the dispatched information. Contents of email messages may be read by third parties. Therefore, the only form of dispatch of confidential information that we recommend is ordinary (snail) mail.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your terminal device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by means of cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA. The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if necessary, advertising. IP anonymization We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. There is no merging of the IP address transmitted by Google Analytics with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin

The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, some functions of our website could be restricted as a result. Likewise, you can prevent the collection of data relating to your website usage, including your IP address, together with subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin accessible via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Details on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords). The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. Google Ads is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After a click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your terminal device. Google Ads cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. From the cookie, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not trackable across Google Ads customers' websites. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that allows personal identification of users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. In this case, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. In this way, there will also be no inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and our advertising.

Details on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or disable the setting of cookies. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our web pages with your IP address. If you click the "Recommend Button" of LinkedIn and are logged into your account at LinkedIn, it is possible for LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. You can find more information on this in LinkedIn's privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
