Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed by Biottonia are solely identification data. Under no circumstances are special categories of personal data processed as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. Biottonia is committed to obtaining 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.

In cases where the User must or may provide their data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if completing any of the forms is mandatory because the data is essential for the correct execution of the operation.

Purposes for which personal data are processed

Personal data are collected and managed by Biottonia in order to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User, to maintain the relationship established through the forms completed by the User, or to respond to a request or inquiry.

Likewise, the data may be used for commercial purposes such as personalization, operational and statistical activities, and activities related to Biottonia’s corporate purpose, as well as for data extraction, storage, and marketing studies to tailor the content offered to the User and improve the quality, functionality, and navigation of the Website.

At the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed about the specific purpose or purposes for which the personal data will be used; that is, the use or uses that will be given to the collected information.

Retention periods of personal data

Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of their processing and, in any case, only for the following period: 3 years, or until the User requests their deletion.

At the time personal data are collected, the User will be informed about the period during which the personal data will be retained or, when that is not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

Recipients of personal data

The User’s personal data will be shared with the following recipients or categories of recipients:

If the Data Controller intends to transfer personal data to a third country or international organization, the User will be informed at the time the personal data are collected about the third country or international organization to which the data are intended to be transferred, as well as the existence or absence of an adequacy decision by the Commission.

Personal data of minors

In compliance with Articles 8 of the GDPR and 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights, only individuals over 14 years of age can lawfully give their consent for the processing of their personal data by Biottonia. If the individual is under 14 years old, parental or guardian consent is required for the processing, and it will only be considered lawful to the extent that such consent has been granted.

Confidentiality and security of personal data

Biottonia is committed to adopting the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, to ensure the security of personal data and prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure 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 data transmission between the server and the User, and in return, is fully encrypted.

However, since Biottonia cannot guarantee the inviolability of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller commits to promptly inform the User if a personal data security breach occurs that is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. According to Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data security breach is understood as any breach of security that leads to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed, or unauthorized disclosure or access to such data.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who commits to ensuring through legal or contractual obligations that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and any person to whom the information is made accessible.

Rights arising from the processing of personal data

The User has the following rights regarding Biottonia and may therefore exercise them against the Data Controller, as recognized in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights:

  • Right of access: The User has the right to obtain confirmation of whether Biottonia is processing their personal data and, if so, to receive information about the specific personal data and the processing carried out or being carried out by Biottonia, including, among other things, information about the source of the data and the recipients of communications made or planned.

  • Right to rectification: The User has the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected or, considering the purposes of processing, completed if incomplete.

  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): The User has the right, unless otherwise provided by law, to have their personal data deleted when: the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed; the User has withdrawn consent and there is no other legal basis; the User objects to processing and no other legitimate grounds exist; the data have been unlawfully processed; deletion is required to comply with a legal obligation; or the data were obtained through a direct offer of information society services to a minor under 14 years old. In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller must take reasonable measures, considering the available technology and cost, to inform other controllers processing the personal data of the User’s request to delete any links to such data.

  • Right to restriction of processing: The User has the right to restrict the processing of their personal data. This applies when the accuracy of the data is contested; the processing is unlawful; the Data Controller no longer needs the data, but the User needs them to make claims; or the User has objected to processing.

  • Right to data portability: If processing is carried out by automated means, the User has the right to receive their personal data from the Data Controller in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit them to another controller. Whenever technically possible, the Data Controller will transmit the data directly to the other controller.

Links to third-party websites

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

Claims before the supervisory authority

In the event that the User considers that there is a problem or a violation of the current regulations in the way their personal data is being processed, they will have the right to effective judicial protection and to file a complaint before a supervisory authority, in particular in the State where they have their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. In the case of Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (http://www.agpd.es).

Acceptance and changes to this privacy policy

It is necessary that the User has read and agrees with the conditions regarding the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, as well as accepts the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller may proceed with it in the manner, within the timeframes, and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website implies acceptance of its Privacy Policy.

Biottonia reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy, at its own discretion, or prompted 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 periodically consult this page to stay informed of the latest changes or updates.

This Privacy Policy was updated to comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR), and with Organic Law 3/2018 of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights.
