Privacy Policy

The relevant information of the Data Controller responsible for the data processing is:

The legal basis for the treatment of the data is the execution of the form on the APD Website (Sections: Contact, Tailor-made products, and Professional Opportunities). This data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and for the sole purpose of managing the relationships established with users through the APD Website.

The information received from users is collected as explained below.

a) Information that users provide directly: APD collects and stores certain information that the user enters on the APD Website or that may be provided in any other way.

b) Information that users provide indirectly:

 

How long will the data be kept?

APD will keep the user's personal data provided on his CV for a maximum period of 1 year. And the time that is reasonably necessary to: comply with any of the other purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy, comply with current legislation, regulatory requirements and pertinent orders of competent courts, or, in any case, while we send you information or invite you to events and the interested party does not request its suppression or opposition.

As indicated in the previous section, the personal data that APD collects is exclusively used for the purpose defined on the APD Website. To achieve this objective and the correct provision of the service, APD may share certain personal data:

  • Prior legal requirement, APD may share information with organisations of executive authorities and/or third parties regarding requests for information related to criminal investigations and alleged illegal activities.
  • With the consent of the user: apart from the consent previously established, users will be informed if any information about them is provided to commercial partners of the Website, or to third parties, for purposes other than those declared on the APD Website (for example, for commercial purposes), so that they have the opportunity to decide that their information is not shared. None of the above data communications include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise revealing users' personal information for commercial purposes in a manner contrary to the commitments acquired in this Privacy Policy.

The user may exercise the following rights before APD:

  • The right to request access to personal data concerning the interested party.
  • The right to request modification (inaccurate data) or deletion (when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected).
  • The right to request the limitation of its processing, in which case the data is only kept for exercising or defending claims.
  • The right to oppose the treatment. APD will stop the data processing, except for compelling legitimate reasons, or exercise or defend possible claims.

The exercise of the rights is very personal; therefore, the user must prove his/her identity.

To exercise the aforementioned rights provided for within the law, users can contact APD at  or by writing to the address listed in section 1 of this Policy. The communication must contain the following data and documents:

  • Full name of the interested party, enclosing a photocopy of the National ID No. or other valid document that identifies him/her and, where appropriate, the person who represents him/her; the use of electronic signature will exempt presentation of these documents.
  • The address of the interested party and petition for the specific request (the right to be exercised).

The user will also have the right to submit a claim to the Spanish Supervisory Authority (www.aepd.es) when so deemed appropriate.

APD informs the user that it has adopted the necessary technical and organisational measures required by current Data Protection regulations to guarantee the security of your data in order to avoid its alteration, loss, access or unauthorised processing.


As mentioned previously, the personal data provided by users through the APD Website will not be transferred to other entities or companies to be used for their own purposes. However, some companies subcontracted by APD may have access to personal data and personal information, always under the exclusive control of APD, for the sole purpose of providing a service necessary for the correct functioning of the APD Website.
