In compliance with the provisions of the RGPD and the LOPD-GDD, we inform you that the personal data collected by PIPE, through the forms provided on its pages will be incorporated and processed in our file in order to facilitate, expedite and fulfill the commitments established between PIPE and the user or the maintenance of the relationship established in the forms filled in by the user, or to respond to a request or query from the user. Likewise, in accordance with the provisions of the RGPD and the LOPD-GDD, unless the exception provided for in article 30.5 of the RGPD applies, a register of processing activities is kept which specifies, according to its purposes, the processing activities carried out and the other circumstances established in the RGPD.

Principles applicable to the processing of personal data

The processing of the user’s personal data shall be subject to the following principles set out in article 5 of the RGPD and in article 4 and following of Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights:

  • Principle of lawfulness, fairness and transparency: the consent of the user shall be required at all times after full and transparent information on the purposes for which the personal data are collected.
  • Purpose limitation principle: personal data will be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
  • Principle of data minimisation: the personal data collected will be only that which is strictly necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
  • Principle of accuracy: personal data must be accurate and always up to date.
  • Principle of limitation of the storage period: personal data will only be kept in a form that allows the identification of the user for the time necessary for the purposes of their processing.
  • Principle of integrity and confidentiality: personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures their security and confidentiality.
  • Proactive accountability principle: the Controller shall be responsible for ensuring that the above principles are complied with.

Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed by PIPE are solely identification data. Under no circumstances are special categories of personal data processed within the meaning of article 9 of the GDPR.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. PIPE undertakes to obtain the express and verifiable consent of the user for the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The user shall have the right to withdraw consent at any time. It shall be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent shall not condition the use of the Website.

On those occasions when the user must or may provide his/her data through forms to make enquiries, request information or for reasons related to the content of the Website, he/she will be informed in the event that the completion of any of them is compulsory due to the fact that they are essential for the correct development of the operation carried out.

Purposes of the processing for which the personal data are used

The personal data is collected and managed by PIPE in order to facilitate, speed up and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the user or to maintain the relationship established in the forms that the latter fills in or to attend to a request or query.

Likewise, the data may be used for personalisation, operational and statistical purposes, and activities that are part of the purpose of PIPE, as well as for the extraction, storage of data and marketing studies to adapt the Content offered to the user, as well as to improve the quality, operation and browsing of the Website.

At the time the personal data is obtained, the user will be informed of the specific purpose or purposes of the processing for which the personal data will be used, i.e. the use or uses to which the information collected will be put.

Retention periods for personal data

Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of their processing or until the user requests their deletion.

At the time the personal data is obtained, the user will be informed of the period for which the personal data will be retained or, where this is not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

Recipients of personal data

The user’s personal data will not be shared with third parties.

In any case, at the time the personal data is collected, the user will be informed about the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.

Personal data of minors

In compliance with the provisions of articles 8 of the GDPR and 7 of the Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, only persons over 14 years of age may give their consent to the processing of their personal data in a lawful manner by PIPE. In the case of a minor under 14 years of age, the consent of the parents or guardians is required for the processing, and the processing will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorised it.

Secrecy and security of personal data

PIPE undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organisational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, so as to ensure 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 communication of or access to such data.

The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data is transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User, and in return, is fully encrypted or encoded.

However, as PIPE cannot guarantee the impregnability of the Internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the user without undue delay when a breach of security of personal data occurs that is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In accordance with article 4 of the GDPR, a breach of security of personal data means any breach of security resulting in 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 and to ensure by means of a legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, partners, and any other person to whom it makes the information accessible.

Rights arising from the processing of personal data

The user has over PIPE and may, therefore, exercise against the Data Controller the following rights recognised in the RGPD and Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights:

  • Right of access: This is the user’s right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not PIPE is processing his/her personal data and, if so, to obtain information about his/her specific personal data and the processing that PIPE has carried out or is carrying out, as well as, among other things, the information available about the origin of said data and the recipients of the communications made or planned for said data.
  • Right of rectification: This is the user’s right to have his/her personal data amended if it proves to be inaccurate or, having regard to the purposes of the processing, incomplete.
  • Right of erasure (“the right to be forgotten”): This is the right of the user, unless otherwise provided by law, to obtain the erasure of his or her personal data when the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed; the user has withdrawn his/her consent to the processing and the processing has no other lawful basis; the user objects to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue the processing; the personal data have been processed unlawfully; the personal data must be erased in compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data have been obtained as a result of a direct offer of information society services to a child under 14 years of age. In addition to erasure, the Controller shall, taking into account available technology and the cost of its implementation, take reasonable steps to inform controllers who are processing the personal data of the data subject’s request for erasure of any link to those personal data.
  • Right to restriction of processing: This is the user’s right to restrict the processing of his/her personal data. The user has the right to obtain the limitation of processing when he/she contests the accuracy of his/her personal data; the processing is unlawful; the Controller no longer needs the personal data, but the user needs it to make claims; and when the user has objected to the processing.
  • Right to data portability: Where processing is carried out by automated means, the user shall have the right to receive from the Controller his/her personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller. Where technically feasible, the Controller shall transmit the data directly to such other controllers.
  • Right of opposition: This is the user’s right not to have their personal data processed or to cease the processing thereof by PIPE.
  • Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling: This is the right of the user not to be subject to an individualised decision based solely on automated processing of his/her personal data, including profiling, unless otherwise provided for by law.

Thus, the user may exercise his/her rights by means of a written communication addressed to the Data Controller with the reference “RGPD-cbmvet.eu”, specifying:

  • Name, surname(s) of the user and copy of ID card. In cases where representation is permitted, it will also be necessary to identify by the same means the person representing the user, as well as the document accrediting the representation. The photocopy of the ID card may be substituted by any other legally valid means that accredits identity.
  • Request with specific reasons for the request or information to be accessed.
  • Address for the purpose of notifications.
  • Date and signature of the applicant.
  • Any document supporting the request you are making.

This application and any accompanying documents may be sent to the following address and/or e-mail address:

  • Address: Calle Juan Ravina Mendez, 5A, 3rd floor, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, postal code 38009 (Canary Islands, Spain)
  • E-mail: pipe@evm.net 

Links to third party websites

The Website may include hyperlinks or links that allow access to websites of third parties other than PIPE, and which are therefore not operated by PIPE. The owners of these websites will have their own data protection policies, being themselves, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices.

Complaints to the supervisory authority

In the event that the User considers that there is a problem or infringement of the regulations in force in the way in which his/her personal data is being processed, he/she will have the right to effective judicial protection and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular, in the State in which he/she has his/her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In the case of Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (https://www.aepd.es/).

II. ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

It is necessary that the user has read and agreed with the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, as well as that he/she accepts the processing of his/her personal data so that the Data Controller can proceed in the manner, during the periods and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website implies acceptance of the Website’s Privacy Policy.

PIPE reserves the right to modify its privacy policy, according to its own criteria, or motivated by a legislative, jurisprudential or doctrinal change of the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this privacy policy will not be explicitly notified to the user. The user is recommended to consult this page periodically to keep abreast of the latest changes or updates.

This privacy policy has been updated to comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR) and with Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights.
