Principles applicable to the processing of personal data
The processing of the User's personal data will be subject, depending on the User's place of residence, to the following principles set out in Article 5 of the RGPD or to the principles set out in the qualified Andorran Personal Data Protection Act:
Categories of personal data
The categories of personal data processed on the Website are identification data only. Under no circumstances will particular categories of personal data be processed within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR.
Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. The Website Owner undertakes to obtain the User's express and verifiable consent to the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
The User has the right to withdraw his consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as providing it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent will not affect use of the Website.
In cases where the User must or may provide his or her data via forms to request information or for reasons related to the content of the Website, the User will be informed of the mandatory nature of providing such personal data.
Purposes for which personal data are processed
Personal data is collected and managed by the Site Owner in order to facilitate, streamline and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established in the forms that the User fills out or to respond to a request or query.
Similarly, data may be used for commercial purposes of personalization, exploitation and statistics, and activities corresponding to the social objective of the Website Owner, as well as for extraction, data storage and marketing studies to adapt the Content and Services offered to the User, as well as to improve the quality, operation and navigation of the Website.

The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which guarantees that personal data is transmitted securely, confidentially and fully encrypted.
However, because the Website Owner cannot guarantee the total absence of hackers or other persons fraudulently accessing personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User, where appropriate, without undue delay, of a breach of security of personal data that may pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the RGPD, a breach of security of personal data is understood to be a breach of security that causes the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or processed, or the unauthorized disclosure of or access to such data.
Personal data will be treated confidentially by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and guarantee by legal or contractual obligation that said confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates and any person who has access to the information.
