Privacy and Cookies Policy

General Information

This Privacy and Cookies Policy applies to all personal data that you, as a user (understood as any natural person who accesses the website), provide to ETIM when you access https://www.etim.cat, hereinafter the “Website.”

The purpose of this Privacy and Cookies Policy is to inform you about how we process your personal data as a user, as well as to explain the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation and other applicable data protection regulations.

Who is responsible?

The data controller of the personal data collected through the Website is ETIM, with tax identification number F43011766 and registered office at C/ Miquel Barceló, 31 Falset, Tarragona 43730, Spain.

You can contact the Data Protection Officer at the email address info@etim.cat to make any inquiries or request information you need about the processing of users' personal data. The personal data we collect will be treated confidentially and will be incorporated into our Record of Processing Activities.

What do we ask your data for?

What is our legal basis for data processing?

Our legal basis for processing personal data is as follows:

• Consent: if you have given your express consent at the time of entering the personal data by checking the corresponding box.
• Performance of a contract: if there is a contractual relationship between you and ETIM, or if the processing of personal data is necessary for the development of the commercial relationship.
• Compliance with a legal obligation: in those cases where ETIM has a legal obligation applicable to us as data controllers.
• Legitimate interest: in those cases where there is a legitimate interest of our own or of third parties related to the operation of the Website or the provision of services to the user, provided that the interests and fundamental rights of the users do not prevail over the legitimate interest.

How long will we keep your data?

The personal data we collect through the Website will be processed and kept for the time necessary to carry out the purpose for which it was collected.

More specifically, those data we collect for the development and execution of a contract with you will be kept as long as the contractual relationship remains in force, but those personal data we collect based on legitimate interest or with your consent will only be kept for the time necessary to fulfill that purpose.

Once the strictly necessary period for the execution of the purposes described above has elapsed, we will keep the personal data for an additional period, which will be until all actions that could arise from our liability derived from each of the processing activities have expired.

In cases where we need to make transfers to third parties with headquarters or servers outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (Iceland, Norway or Liechtenstein), and that country does not offer a level of personal data protection equivalent to that of the European Union, we will transfer your personal data always respecting the adequate guarantees and maintaining security standards, in accordance with applicable regulations.

When these transfers are made from the EU/EEA to a third country for which the European Commission has not issued an Adequacy Decision, or we do not have Binding Corporate Rules, we will comply with the provisions established by the European Commission for these cases to provide you with adequate guarantees, and whenever appropriate, we will subscribe to the Standard Contractual Clauses and even implement additional protective measures when necessary.

If you want more information about the transfer of personal data we carry out to countries outside the EU/EEA, you can contact us via the following email: info@etim.cat

What are your rights?

You can exercise the following rights at any time and free of charge:

• Access: to know what data we keep and what we do with it.
• Rectification: to inform us of any inaccurate data.
• Deletion: to have your personal data deleted, as far as possible.
• Objection: to stop us from processing your personal data for any of the purposes mentioned above, provided there is no legal obligation preventing it.
• Portability: to have your personal data transferred to a third party, as far as possible.
• Restriction: to suspend your data when you contest its accuracy, or want us to keep it to exercise some action.
• Not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing of your data.

You can exercise any of these rights free of charge by accessing here.

If we do not properly respect these rights as the controller, we inform you that you can file a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority at Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), C/Jorge Juan, 6, 28001 Madrid or at the email address internacional@aepd.es.

ETIM, as the data controller, commits to respecting the confidentiality of users' personal data and to using it according to the purposes for which it was collected.

We have adopted all appropriate technical and organizational security measures according to the nature of the data being processed and as required by data protection regulations.
