Navigation data

The computer systems and software procedures used for the operational purposes of this Website acquire certain personal data, in the course of ordinary operation, whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. It is information which is not gathered with an end to linking it with identified persons, although by its very nature it could be processed and associated with data held by third parties to allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or the dominion names of the computers used by those connecting to the Website, URI addresses (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the resources requested, the time of request, the method used for forwarding the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numeric code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters regarding the operative system and the user’s computer environment. This data is only used for the purposes of gathering statistical information about the use of the Website, and to ensure that it is functioning correctly. The data is immediately cancelled after it has been processed. The data could be used for ascertaining responsibility in the event of hypothetical IT-related offences which affect the Website.

HANDLING METHODS

The personal data is handled exclusively using automatic instruments, and only for the amount of time strictly needed to achieve the purposes for which it was gathered or subsequently processed.

The personal data supplied by visitors is used with an end to providing the requested service or performance, in addition to providing information for advertising or promotional purposes, and is only communicated to third parties in the event it should be necessary for them to provide the requested services. Except for these cases, the data will not be divulged or supplied to third parties unless carried out in compliance with contractual or legal obligations, or where users have provided their consent accordingly. As a result, any information of a personal nature can be transmitted to third parties, including those residing abroad, solely and exclusively: a) where express authorisation is given to share data with third parties; b) where it is necessary to share the information to process the users’ requests; c) where this is indispensable in order to fulfil the requests of the Judicial Authorities or the Police.
