This is an English translation provided for information purposes. The Spanish version of this policy is the legally binding one and prevails in the event of any discrepancy: Política de privacidad.
In accordance with current legislation, JRC WEB (hereinafter also the Website) undertakes to adopt the technical and organisational measures required, in line with a level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected.
This privacy policy is adapted to the Spanish and European legislation in force on the protection of personal data on the internet. Specifically, it complies with the following rules:
The controller of the personal data collected by JRC WEB is: Joan Rabell Carrascosa, NIF: 47100188Y (hereinafter, the Data Controller). The contact details are as follows:
In compliance with the GDPR and the LOPD-GDD, we inform you that the personal data collected by JRC WEB through the forms on its pages will be incorporated into and processed in our file in order to facilitate, speed up and fulfil the commitments established between JRC WEB and the User, or to maintain the relationship established in the forms the User completes, or to respond to a request or enquiry. Likewise, in accordance with the GDPR and the LOPD-GDD, unless the exception provided for in article 30.5 of the GDPR applies, a record of processing activities is kept which specifies, according to their purposes, the processing activities carried out and the other circumstances established in the GDPR.
The processing of the User’s personal data is subject to the following principles set out in article 5 of the GDPR and in article 4 and subsequent articles of Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December:
The categories of data processed by JRC WEB are identification data only. Special categories of personal data within the meaning of article 9 of the GDPR are not processed under any circumstances.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. JRC WEB undertakes to obtain the User’s express and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
The User has the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawing consent will not affect the use of the Website.
Where the User must or may provide their data through forms to make enquiries, request information or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if completing any of those fields is mandatory because the data are essential for the correct performance of the operation carried out.
Personal data are collected and managed by JRC WEB in order to facilitate, speed up and fulfil the commitments established between the Website and the User, or to maintain the relationship established in the forms the User completes, or to respond to a request or enquiry.
The data may also be used for commercial personalisation, operational and statistical purposes, and for activities within the corporate purpose of JRC WEB, as well as for data extraction and storage and marketing studies to adapt the Content offered to the User and to improve the quality, operation and navigation of the Website.
At the time the personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the specific purpose or purposes of the processing; that is, of the use or uses that will be made of the information collected.
Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of the processing and, in any case, only until the User requests their deletion.
At the time the personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the period for which the personal data will be stored or, where that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.
The User’s personal data will not be shared with third parties.
In any case, at the time the personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.
Should the Data Controller intend to transfer personal data to a third country or international organisation, the User will be informed, at the time the personal data are obtained, of the third country or international organisation to which the data are intended to be transferred, as well as of the existence or absence of an adequacy decision by the Commission.
In accordance with article 8 of the GDPR and article 7 of Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December, only persons over 14 years of age may give their consent for the lawful processing of their personal data by JRC WEB. In the case of a child under 14, the consent of parents or guardians is required for the processing, and it will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorised it.
JRC WEB undertakes to adopt the technical and organisational measures required, in line with a level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, so as to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or the unauthorised disclosure of or access to such data.
The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data are transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User, and back, is fully encrypted.
However, because JRC WEB cannot guarantee that the internet is impregnable or that hackers or others will not fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay when a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In accordance with article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or the unauthorised disclosure of or access to such data.
Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform of and to guarantee, by means of a legal or contractual obligation, that such confidentiality is respected by their employees, associates and any person to whom the information is made accessible.
The User may exercise the following rights, recognised in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December, against the Data Controller:
The User may therefore exercise their rights by written communication addressed to the Data Controller with the reference “GDPR-www.jrcweb.es”, specifying:
This request and any attached document may be sent to the following address and/or email:
The Website may include hyperlinks or links giving access to websites of third parties other than JRC WEB, which are therefore not operated by JRC WEB. The owners of those websites have their own data protection policies and are, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices.
If the User considers that there is a problem or an infringement of current legislation in the way their personal data are being processed, they have the right to an effective judicial remedy and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (https://www.aepd.es/).
The User must have read and agreed to the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, and must accept the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller may proceed with it in the manner, for the periods and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website implies acceptance of its Privacy Policy.
JRC WEB reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy at its own discretion, or as a result of legislative, case-law or doctrinal changes by the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this Privacy Policy will not be explicitly notified to the User. Users are advised to consult this page periodically to keep up with the latest changes or updates.
