- Commercial communications (marketing): We may use your personal data to contact you, by electronic or non-electronic means, to conduct surveys, obtain your opinion on the service provided and, occasionally, to inform you of changes, important developments in the services and/or products, offers and/or promotions of our services. We will not process your personal data for any purpose other than those described above unless required by law or by court and/or administrative order.
RETENTION PERIOD
Personal data provided will be kept and processed for as long as the contractual relationship with the user continues, without prejudice to the possibility of exercising their data-protection rights. Data may also be retained for the necessary period to fulfil the legal obligations applicable to the controller.
Personal data of individuals interested in receiving commercial information and newsletters will be stored indefinitely until the data subject objects to receiving commercial communications or withdraws consent.
Personal data of job candidates will be kept for a maximum of 1 year and may be used for future recruitment processes unless the data subject withdraws consent. After this period, the data will be securely deleted.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
BPV ABOGADOS processes your personal data on the following legal bases: consent of the data subject (1), performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (2) and legitimate interest (3).
- Consent of the data subject given for the purposes described above, which will be requested:
- Before processing your data,
- To send you BPV ABOGADOS commercial communications,
- To manage your application for a job position.
Requests for information that you send us require you voluntarily to provide the necessary data so we can respond. You may freely refuse to provide such data or later withdraw the consent previously given. In such cases, refusing to provide personal data will make it impossible to address user requests, and withdrawal of consent will not affect processing carried out based on the consent prior to its withdrawal.
- Processing by BPV ABOGADOS is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the application, at the data subject’s request, of pre-contractual measures. This legal basis applies if the user acquires products or contracts services through our website.
- Legitimate interest of BPV ABOGADOS in maintaining and retaining its clients and/or users and better meeting their previously expressed expectations or interests, for example: improving the products and/or services offered, handling requests, enquiries or claims, offering products similar to those contracted, informing about current promotions and discounts, etc. All the above is without prejudice to BPV ABOGADOS’ compliance with other obligations concerning the sending of commercial communications by electronic means under Law 34/2002 of 11 July on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce.
BPV ABOGADOS understands that, by providing your personal data, you guarantee and are responsible for the truthfulness, currency and accuracy of such data and that you expressly accept and consent to their processing for the purposes described.
RECIPIENTS OF DISCLOSURES OR INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
As a general rule, BPV ABOGADOS will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have expressly authorised us by using our services and/or products.
BPV ABOGADOS will not make international transfers of the personal data collected through this website except in the following cases:
- The international transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures in which the data subject is party.
- The international transfer is required by applicable law.
- The international transfer is made with the data subject’s explicit consent.
- The international transfer occurs because the website is hosted on servers located outside the European Economic Area.
In any event, whenever international data transfers may occur, BPV ABOGADOS will verify that the importing country guarantees an adequate level of protection in accordance with applicable regulations.
RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

- Right of erasure: Allows the deletion of personal data when they are no longer necessary for providing the service.
- Right of objection: Allows the data subject to object to the processing of their personal data or to have the processing ceased, except for legitimate reasons or for the exercise or defence of possible claims, in which case the data will be blocked for the corresponding period.
- Right to object to advertising: Data subjects may object to receiving commercial communications. In this case, you may withdraw consent for such notifications at any time.
- Restriction of processing: In certain circumstances, data subjects may request the restriction of processing of their data, in which case they will only be retained for the exercise or defence of claims.
- Data portability: Data subjects may request to receive the data concerning them that they have provided to us or, where technically feasible, for us to send them to another controller of their choice, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Right not to be subject to automated individual decisions (including profiling): Data subjects have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or significantly affects them.
- Right to withdraw consent: Data subjects may withdraw consent at any time when that consent constitutes the legal basis for processing personal data, without this affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details listed under “Identity of the data-controller”, including: full name, postal and/or e-mail address for contact, the type of right being exercised and specific details of the request. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity.
