Collection and processing of personal data

Personal data is any information concerning a person: name, email address, postal address, telephone number, tax ID number, etc. Additionally, when the User visits our website, certain information is automatically stored for technical reasons, such as the IP address assigned by the User’s internet service provider.
IC, as the Data Controller, must suitably inform Users of this website about the collection of personal data that may be carried out, either by sending an email or by filling in the forms included on the site. Only the data necessary to perform the hired service, or to be able to respond appropriately to the request for information made by the User, will be obtained. The data collected are identification data and they correspond to a reasonable minimum required to carry out the activity requested. Specifically, no specially protected data is collected at any time. Under no circumstances will IC use the data obtained for purposes different to the purpose agreed with the User.
Contact form/email address
Purpose: To respond to the User’s request for information made through our contact form/s.

Legitimation: The legal basis that legitimises this form of processing is the User’s consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer: Arsys will process data through its servers; it will do so as the Data Processor.

Minimum age restriction

Only people over the age of 14 may provide personal data on this website. As required by the Organic Law on Data Protection and Guarantee of Data Rights, in the case of minors under 14 years of age, the consent of their parents or guardians will be a compulsory condition for us to process their personal data.
On the other hand, only people over 18 years old can hire our services. In the case of minors under 18 years of age, the consent of their parents or legal guardians will be a mandatory condition for us to provide the services offered, unless the minor is emancipated.

Security measures

IC hereby informs Users that the necessary technical, organisational and security measures available to us have been taken to prevent the loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorised access or theft of data, and thus guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and quality of the information contained therein, in accordance with data protection regulations in force. The personal data collected using forms are processed only by the staff of IC or designated processors.

Veracity of data The User states that all data they provide are true and correct, and they agree to keep them up to date. The User will be responsible for the truthfulness of their data and will be solely liable for any conflicts or disputes that may result from their falsification. It is essential that, for us to keep personal data up to date, the User informs IC whenever there has been any modification to their data.

Data Transfer

"IC" will not transfer or communicate to any third party your data, except in the cases legally provided or where the provision of a service implies the need for a contractual relationship with a Processor. The User accepts that some of the personal data collected will be provided to these Data Processors (payment platforms, processing agencies, intermediaries, etc.), when it’ll be necessary for the effective performance of a contracted service or product acquired. The User also agrees that, in the event of the provision of services, these may be, in whole or in part, subcontracted to other persons or companies, which will be considered as Data Processors, with which the corresponding contract of confidentiality, or adhered to their privacy policies, set out on their respective websites. The User may refuse the transfer of his/her data to the Data Processors, by written request, by any of the means mentioned above.
In addition, where necessary, the data of Clients may be transferred to certain agencies, in compliance with a legal obligation: Spanish Tax Agency, banks, Labour Inspectorate, etc.

How a User can exercise their rights

The LOPD and the GDPR grant interested parties the option of exercising several rights related to processing of their data. To do so, the User must contact us, providing a copy of documentation proving their identity (ID card or passport), by email sent to info@ic-lawyers.com, or by written communication sent to the address provided in our Legal Notice. This request should also include the following information: User’s name and surname, request, address, and supporting data.
The User must exercise these rights himself/herself. However, they may also be exercised by a person authorised as the User’s legal representative, when documentation attesting to such representation is provided. The User may exercise the following rights:
• The right to access personal data, which is the right to obtain information on whether their data is being processed, the purpose of any processing that is being developed, as well as the information available on the origin of such data and the communications made or planned thereof.
• The right to rectification, where personal data are incorrect or inaccurate. The User may also request that data found to be inadequate or excessive be deleted.
• The right to request limitation in relation to processing of their data, in which case said data will only be retained by IC to exercise or defend claims.
• The right to oppose: User has the right to request that their data not be processed or that processing be ceased in cases where their consent is not necessary for processing. Users may oppose commercial prospecting files or decisions related to the person concerned that are based solely on automatic processing of their data, unless further processing is required for legitimate reasons or to exercise or defend potential claims.
• The right to data portability: if the User would like their data to be processed by another company, IC will provide the User with a portable copy of their data in an exportable format.
If the User grants consent for a specific purpose, they have the right to withdraw this consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
We are committed to enforcing all these rights within the maximum legal deadline of 1 month.
If the User believes there is an issue with how IC processes their data, they can contact our data protection officer or the appropriate data protection authority. The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) is the control authority in Spain.

Data retention

Requested information of Users’ personal data collected by contact form or by email will only be used strictly during the time necessary to fulfil the request for information, or until consent is withdrawn. Customers’ personal data will be processed until the end of the contractual relationship. The particular data retention period shall be the minimum necessary, and it may be maintained for:
• Four years: Law on Social Infringements and Sanctions, related to obligations in matters of affiliation, contributions, payment of wages; Arts. 66 et seq. General Tax Act (accounting).
• Five years: Art. 1964 of the Civil Code (personal actions without special deadline).
• Six years: Art. 30 of the Commercial Code, related to accounting records and invoices.
• Ten years: Art. 25 of the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism.
• No term: disaggregated and anonymised data.
In the case of candidates’ data processing (CVs), IC may store CVs for up to two years and refer to them in future job vacancies, unless the candidate states otherwise.
Staff recruitment
An applicant who sends electronic communications to IC applying for a job authorises us to analyse the following: the documents sent (for example, their CV), all content that is directly accessible via internet search engines (for example, Google), profiles that they have on professional social networks (for example, LinkedIn), data obtained from access testing, and the information they disclose in the job interview. Using all of this information, we will evaluate their candidacy and may be able to offer them a job when a position becomes available. If the candidate is not selected, IC may store their CV for a maximum of two years so they may be considered in future vacancies, unless the candidate states otherwise. The legal basis for such processing shall be the consent of the person concerned, which may be withdrawn any time.

Confidentiality

The information supplied by the User shall, in any case, be regarded as confidential and may not be used for purposes other than those described herein. IC is obliged to refrain from disclosing information about the User’s claims, the reasons for the information requested, or the duration of its relationship with the User.
