As previously mentioned, we do not store personal data. However, should we ever do so, in accordance with applicable regulations, you would have a series of rights concerning the collection and processing of your personal data.
Exercising these rights will be free of charge for you, except in cases where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, especially if they are repetitive.
These rights include:
Right to information: You have the right to be informed in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible way, using clear and plain language, about the use and processing of your personal data.
Right of access: At any time, you can ask us to confirm whether we are processing your personal data, provide access to them, give information about their processing, and obtain a copy of such data.

Right to rectification: You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete personal data related to you. You can also request that incomplete personal data be completed, including by an additional statement.
Right to erasure – right to be forgotten: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data when, among other reasons, and provided a proportionality assessment is carried out, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and it’s not about current events where the right to information prevails.
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request the limitation of processing of your personal data, meaning we can continue storing them but not process them if one of the following conditions is met:
- you contest the accuracy of the data, for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy; processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the data, requesting instead its use limitation;
- you have objected to the processing while it’s being verified whether the legitimate grounds of the site override yours.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller. This right applies when processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.
