2. MOTIVATION 

U-TAD respects the privacy rights of its Users and recognizes the importance of protecting the personal data that U-TAD collects about its Users.   The purpose of this document is to inform website Users about the processing of personal data carried out on this website.   

3. PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED BY ACCESSING THE WEBSITE 

3.1. What data is processed and for which purposes  By simply accessing the website, U-TAD collects the IP address and other data related to the connection and its origin. The IP address is a code that identifies the User’s Internet connection at a specific time. Only the User’s Internet access provider can identify which subscriber was assigned an IP address at a specific time and date. By the very nature of the server that supports the website, the User’s IP address is automatically recorded along with the date and time of access. This data is used only to manage the website’s normal use and perform statistical analysis on the use of the website.  On the other hand, data may be processed of users who register in the form “Request information” and the data related to cookies and as indicated in point 5 of this Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.   

3.2. Data recipients  U-TAD does not provide this information to any third party unless it is obliged to do so by law (e.g., an official request in the context of a police investigation).   

3.3. Lawful processing  The legal basis that legitimizes the processing of the IP address is the technological need to enable the provision of the website and the legitimate interest to carry out the proper control and analysis of the access to this website, to manage information about the products and services offered through it, and to respond to queries, questions, requests, or any other type of request made by the user through any of the communication channels available to them.   

3.4. User’s age  The user guarantees they are over 14 years old and that the information they provide is accurate and truthful. In case of being under 14 years old, users may only access the WEBSITE under the supervision of their parents or guardians, and they must complete the corresponding forms.   

3.5. Mandatory fields  The obligatory data of each form will be identified as such in the form itself. The refusal to provide such information will prevent the service requested by the user.   

3.6. Data processing period  IP addresses will be retained for a period of 12 months.   The data relating to queries will be processed for the time necessary to resolve the user’s request for contact. Subsequently, they will be blocked and kept for 3 years for the attention of the possible responsibilities derived from the treatment.  The “Request Information” and cookie registration data will be retained in accordance with section 5 of this Privacy Policy.   

4. USER RIGHTS AND HOW TO EXERCISE THEM   Data protection regulations guarantee Users the following rights: 

  • Access: Allow the User to know what information is held, where it has been obtained, to whom it has been provided, and for which purposes it has been processed. 
  • Correction: Allow the User to rectify any erroneous or outdated data.  
  • Deletion: Allow the User to stop the processing of their data.
  • Opposition: Allow the User to stop the use of their data for a specific purpose. 
  • Limitation: Allow the user to restrict the processing of their data, but in a way that the data continues to be retained for a later purpose. 
  • Portability: Allow the User to obtain a copy of their data in electronic format and, in certain circumstances, to request that it be communicated to another service provider. It is only applicable to computerized processing carried out with the User’s consent or the fulfillment of a contract. 
  • Revocation of consent: Allow the User to withdraw the consent that, where appropriate, has been given for the processing of their data. 

These rights require the possibility of identifying the User requesting them and linking their identity to the data processed by U-TAD.  However, U-TAD cannot establish this link with any of the data that it processes by simply accessing the website, unless the User can provide certain documentation that allows identification (for example, a certificate from their Internet access provider indicating the IP address that the User had assigned to them on a specific date and at a specific time).  Users are informed that they may exercise the aforementioned rights before U-TAD, as well as revoke the consent they have given for the treatment of their data, by post to the address indicated above or by email to dpo@u-tad.com.  If Users require further information about this or consider that their right to data protection has been violated, they may contact the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or the U-TAD Data Protection Delegate dpo@u-tad.com.   

5. OTHER PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA 

5.1. Cookies and similar 

U-TAD uses cookies and other similar mechanisms for storing and retrieving data on terminal equipment (hereinafter referred to as cookies).  Cookies are files that are downloaded to the User’s browser and can be read later by U-TAD. In this way, cookies allow various functionalities, such as recognizing a User who has already accessed the website previously and carrying out analyses on the use of the web service that allow the website to be improved.   However, it is not possible to derive the User’s identity from the cookies used by U-TAD unless the User provides additional information by other means, and this information can be linked to the cookies that have been downloaded.  For more information, please see the Cookie Policy.

Likewise, in order to evaluate and adapt communications to your interest, U-TAD will adapt its offer to the user’s profile, taking into account their qualifications, level of studies, preferences, and tastes.  The legal basis that legitimizes this treatment is the consent given by the user to complete the form “Information Request” and accept the Privacy Policy.
