  • Data minimisation: the personal data collected will be only what is strictly necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.

  • Integrity and confidentiality: personal data will be processed in a manner that ensures their security and confidentiality.
  • Accountability: the Controller is responsible for ensuring compliance with the above principles.

Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed by Fundació iSocial are limited to identification data only. In no case are special categories of personal data processed within the meaning of Article 9 GDPR.

Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data is consent. Fundació iSocial undertakes to obtain the User’s express and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The User has the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent will not affect use of the Website.

Where the User must or may provide data through forms to make enquiries, request information or for reasons related to the Website content, they will be informed if completing any of those forms is mandatory because it is essential for the proper performance of the relevant operation.

Purposes of the processing of personal data

Personal data are collected and managed by Fundació iSocial in order to facilitate, streamline and fulfil the commitments established between the Website and the User, to maintain the relationship established through the forms completed by the User, or to respond to a request or enquiry.

Likewise, the data may be used for commercial purposes related to personalisation, operations and statistics, and for activities related to Fundació iSocial’s corporate purpose, as well as for data extraction, storage and marketing studies to tailor the Content offered to the User and to improve the quality, operation and navigation of the Website.

At the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the specific purpose(s) of the processing for which the personal data will be used; that is, the use(s) that will be made of the information collected.

Retention periods for personal data

Personal data will be retained only for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of processing and, in any case, only for the following period: the necessary time, or until the User requests erasure.

At the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the period for which the personal data will be stored or, where that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.

Recipients of personal data

The User’s personal data will not be shared with third parties.

In any case, at the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.

Personal data of minors

In accordance with Articles 8 GDPR and 7 of Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights, only persons over 14 years of age may lawfully give consent for the processing of their personal data by Fundació iSocial. If the User is under 14 years of age, consent from parents or legal guardians will be required, and processing will be lawful only to the extent that such consent has been granted.

Secrecy and security of personal data

Fundació iSocial undertakes to adopt the technical and organisational measures required, in line with the appropriate level of security for the risk posed by the data collected, in order to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised disclosure of or access to such data.

The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data are transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User (and back) is fully encrypted.

However, since Fundació iSocial cannot guarantee the invulnerability of the internet nor the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay when a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In accordance with Article 4 GDPR, a personal data breach means any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Controller, who undertakes to inform and ensure—by means of a legal or contractual obligation—that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates and any person to whom the information is made accessible.

Rights arising from the processing of personal data

The User has the following rights in relation to Fundació iSocial and may exercise them before the Controller, as recognised by the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights:

  • Right of access: The User’s right to obtain confirmation as to whether Fundació iSocial processes their personal data and, if so, to obtain information about their specific personal data and the processing carried out or being carried out, as well as, among other things, information available about the origin of those data and the recipients of communications made or envisaged.
  • Right to rectification: The User’s right to have inaccurate personal data corrected, or completed where incomplete, taking into account the purposes of processing.
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): The User’s right—unless current legislation provides otherwise—to obtain the erasure of their personal data when the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed; the User withdraws consent and there is no other legal basis; the User objects and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; the personal data have been unlawfully processed; the personal data must be erased in compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data were obtained as a result of a direct offer of information society services to a minor under 14 years of age. In addition to erasing the data, the Controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, must take reasonable steps to inform other controllers who are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to those personal data.
  • Right to restriction of processing: The User’s right to restrict the processing of their personal data. The User has the right to obtain restriction where they contest the accuracy of the data; where processing is unlawful; where the Controller no longer needs the data but the User needs them for legal claims; and where the User has objected to processing.
  • Right to data portability: Where processing is carried out by automated means, the User has the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit them to another controller. Where technically feasible, the Controller will transmit the data directly to that other controller.
  • Right to object: The User’s right to object to the processing of their personal data or to have processing stopped by Fundació iSocial.
  • Right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making, including profiling: The User’s right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, unless current legislation provides otherwise.

Accordingly, the User may exercise their rights by sending a written communication to the Controller with the reference “RGPD-https://isocial.cat/”, specifying:

  • Name and surname(s) of the User and a copy of their ID document. Where representation is permitted, identification of the representative by the same means and proof of representation will also be required.

Links to third-party websites

The Website may include hyperlinks or links that allow access to third-party websites other than Fundació iSocial and which are therefore not operated by Fundació iSocial. The owners of such websites will have their own data protection policies and, in each case, will be responsible for their own files and privacy practices.

Complaints before the supervisory authority

If the User considers that there is a problem or an infringement of current regulations in the way their personal data are being processed, they have the right to effective judicial protection and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) (https://www.aepd.es/).

II. Acceptance and changes to this privacy policy

The User must have read and agree with the personal data protection conditions contained in this Privacy Policy, and must accept the processing of their personal data so that the Controller may process them in the manner, for the periods and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website implies acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

Fundació iSocial reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy, at its own discretion or due to legislative, case-law or doctrinal changes of the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this Privacy Policy will not be expressly notified to the User. Users are advised to consult this page periodically to stay informed of the latest changes or updates.

This Privacy Policy was updated to adapt it to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and to Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights.
