Privacy Policy

 

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

 

We are pleased that you are visiting our website. Ensuring your privacy and the protection of your personal data when using our website is important to us.

 

According to Article 4.1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR), personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your first and last name, your address, your telephone number, your e-mail address, but also your IP address.

 

Data that cannot be linked to your person, e.g. through data anonymisation techniques, are not considered personal data. Processing (e.g. collection, storage, reading, consultation, use, transmission, deletion or destruction) in accordance with Article 4.2 of the GDPR always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and no legally prescribed retention obligations have to be retained.

 

Below you will find information about the processing of your personal data when visiting our website. In order to be able to offer the functions and services of our website, it is necessary for us to collect personal data about you.

 

We also inform you about the type and scope of the respective data processing, the purpose and legal basis as well as the respective storage period.

 

This privacy policy only applies to this website. It does not apply to other websites to which we merely refer via a hyperlink or link. We are therefore not responsible for the processing of your personal data on these third-party websites, as we have no connection with the compliance of these companies with data protection regulations. Please refer directly to these websites for information on the processing of your personal data by these companies.

 

Below you will find the contact details of the data controller and the data protection officer.

3. MOTIVATION

 

MEDIAPLUS ALMA respects the privacy rights of its Users and recognises the importance of protecting the personal data that MEDIAPLUS ALMA collects about its Users.

 

The purpose of this document is to inform Users of the website about the processing of personal data carried out on this website.

 

4. PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED BY MERE ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE

 

4.1. What data is processed

 

By simply accessing the website, MEDIAPLUS ALMA collects technically necessary data through files that are transmitted to our server relating to the connection and its origin, such as:

 

- Date and time

 

- Session ID

 

- Visited pages

 

- Identification of the website from which you came to our website

 

- Browser used

 

- IP address

 

The IP address is a code that identifies the User's Internet connection at a specific point in time.

 

Only the User's Internet access provider can identify the subscriber who was assigned an IP address at a particular time.

 

By the very nature of the server supporting the website, the User's IP address is automatically logged along with the date and time of access.

 

4.2. What is this data used for?

 

This data is used solely to manage the normal use of the website, to ensure the security and stability of the website and to carry out statistical analyses on the use of the website.

 

4.3. Recipients of the data

 

MEDIAPLUS ALMA does not provide this information to any third party, unless it is obliged to do so by the legislation in force (for example, an official request in the context of a police investigation).

 

4.4. Lawful processing

 

The legal basis for the lawful processing of data is our legitimate interest based on the technological necessity to enable the provision of the website and to ensure the security and usability of the website.

 

4.5. Time limit for data processing

 

As soon as the aforementioned personal data is no longer required to view the website, the data will be deleted. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. The user therefore has no possibility to object to this processing. Subsequent storage may take place in individual cases if required by law.

 

4.6. What rights the User has and how to exercise them

 

Data protection regulations guarantee Users the following rights:

 

- Access: Allows the User to know what information is held, where it has been obtained from, to whom it has been provided and for what purposes it has been processed.

 

- Rectification: Allows the User to rectify any erroneous or out-of-date data.

 

- Deletion: Allows the User to ensure that their data is no longer processed.

- Portability: Allows the User to obtain a copy of his/her data in electronic format and, in certain circumstances, to request that it be communicated to another service provider. It is only applicable to computerised processing carried out with the consent of the User or for the fulfilment of a contract.

 

- Revocation of consent: Allows the User to withdraw the consent that, where applicable, has been given for the processing of his/her data.

 

These rights require the possibility of identifying the User requesting them and linking their identity with the data processed by MEDIAPLUS ALMA.

 

Users are informed that they may exercise the aforementioned rights before MEDIAPLUS ALMA, as well as revoke their consent for the processing they have given, by post to the above address or by e-mail to mediaplus-madrid-dpo@house-of-communication.com.

 

If Users wish further information in this regard or consider that their right to data protection has been violated, they may contact the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or the MEDIAPLUS ALMA Data Protection Delegate (mediaplus-madrid-dpo@house-of-communication.com).

 

5. OTHER PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

 

5.1. Cookies and the like

 

MEDIAPLUS ALMA uses cookies and other similar data storage and retrieval mechanisms on terminal equipment (hereinafter, cookies).

 

Cookies are files that are downloaded to the User's browser and that can be read later by MEDIAPLUS ALMA. In this way, cookies allow various functionalities, such as, for example, recognizing a User who has already accessed the website before and being able to perform analyzes on the use of the web service that allow it to be improved.

 

However, it is not possible to find out the identity of the User from the cookies used by MEDIAPLUS ALMA, unless the User provides additional information through other means and these could be linked to the cookies they have downloaded.

 

For more information, see the Cookies Policy.

 

5.2. Social networks

 

On this website we link to our presence on social networks or establish social plugins such as "Share" or "Like" buttons. When you access our website, no data is transmitted to the operator of the respective social network, but only when you actively follow the link to our profile on the respective social network or click on the social plugin.

 

The corresponding social network deals with the following categories of data:

 

- IP adress

 

- Date hour

 

- Website visited

 

If you are connected to your user account on a social network when you access our profile page, the social network operator may assign the information collected during your visit to your personal account.

 

If you interact through the "Share" or "Like" button of the corresponding network, this information can also be assigned to the user's personal account and published where appropriate.

 

If you want to prevent the information collected from being directly assigned to your user account, you have to log out of the corresponding social network before accessing our profile page or using the social plugin.

 

You can also configure the user account in the corresponding social network accordingly.

 

If you access our profile page on the social network, the social network operator may also set cookies on your end device, regardless of whether you have an account on the network or are logged into it.

 

Cookies are data packets that mark the user's end devices with a specific identifier. Cookies are primarily set to allow us to display personalized advertising to visitors on social media, including our profile pages. This is done, for example, by showing the user advertisements on social media pages of advertising partners of those networks whose websites the user had previously visited. Cookies also allow us to collect statistics on the use of our profile page (for example, number of visits to the page, categories of users). If we receive these statistical analyzes from the operator of the social network, the data is previously anonymized by the operator, that is, it is not possible for us to assign the usage data to a specific user.

 

The purpose of the processing of your data on our profile page in the corresponding social network is to inform you about our offers and services and respond to any queries on our profile page. The legal basis for the treatment is the legitimate interest of our company to cover communication and advertising purposes.

 

If you use a social plugin integrated by us, the legal basis is your consent.

 

Private messages that you send us via social media will be deleted 2 years after the last communication with you. The public messages that you send us will always remain published permanently until you explicitly request their elimination.

 

We have no influence on what data is collected and transmitted by the social network operator, to which third party recipients the communication by the social network operator takes place or how long the data is stored by the social network operator. For this, we refer to the privacy policy of the corresponding social network.

 

We reserve the right to eliminate illegal content published by users on our profile page in the respective social network, for example, infringements related to copyright or manifestations related to the criminal sphere.

 

In accordance with the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the operation of our profile page or the social plugin with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this framework, the operator of the social network provides the corresponding IT infrastructure, as well as the website of the social network, and constitutes the main contact regarding the processing of your data on the pages of the social network (for example, regarding your rights to information or deletion). However, he can also request to exercise his data protection rights against us. In this case, we will forward your requests to the operator of the social network.

 

US providers (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn) process and / or transmit your data to the United States. By formalizing the so-called EU standard contractual clauses, these providers have committed to respecting a level of data protection comparable to that of Europe. However, please note that adequate data protection cannot be guaranteed in all cases for providers outside the EU / EEA - even in the case of the formalization of standard EU contractual clauses.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal data confidential. To do this, we adopt technical and organizational security measures, which are periodically reviewed and adapted to technological progress.

It is the responsibility of the respective user to protect the data provided by him against misuse by means of encryption or in any other way.
