Likewise, your personal information may be known to other organizations that require access to it so we can provide our services to you. For example, our bank will know your data if our services are paid for by card or bank transfer.

Your information will also be known by all public or private organizations we are compelled to provide your personal data to for legal reasons. By way of example, tax legislation obliges us to report all financial operations which exceed a certain amount to the Tax Authority.

Around the world there are countries that are safe for data and others that are not so secure. The European Union, for instance, is a secure environment for your data. Our policy is to not send your personal information to any country that is not secure from a data protection perspective.

Whenever, in order to offer you the service, it is essential to send your data to a country which is not as secure as Spain, we will always ask for your permission and apply effective security measures which reduce the risks of sending your personal information abroad.

You may contact us at any time to ask which information we hold about you, to rectify any incorrect data and to delete the data once our relationship has finished, whenever legally possible.

You are also entitled to ask for your information to be transferred to another organization. This right is called “portability” and may be useful in certain situations.

To exercise any of these rights, fill out a written application and send it to us along with a photocopy of your ID document.

Our organization counts on specific forms to apply for these rights, and any help required in filling them out can be provided by our offices.
