For the processing of special categories of personal data, explicit consent of the User for one or more specific purposes will be necessary in any case.

Legal basis for the processing of Personal Data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. The Company agrees to seek express and verifiable consent from the User for the processing of their Personal Data for one or more specific purposes.

The User will have the right to withdraw his consent at any time. It will be as easy to withdraw consent as to give it. As a general rule, the withdrawal of consent will not condition the use of the Site.

On occasions where the User must or may provide his data through forms to consult, access medical services, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if the completion of any of them is mandatory because they are essential to the proper development of the operation carried out.

Purposes of the processing for which Personal Data is destined to

Personal data are collected and managed by the Company in order to be able to facilitate, expedite, and fulfil the commitments established between the Company or Site and the User or the maintenance of the relationship established on the forms that the User fills out or to meet a request or consultation.

Likewise, the data may be used for a commercial purpose of customisation, operation and statistics, and activities typical of the Company’s social object, 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 navigation of the Site.

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

Periods of retention 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: 10 years from the last medical visit or until the User requests its deletion.

Personal Data of Minors

Following the provisions of Article 8 of the GDPR and Article 7 of the Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, only those over the age of 14 may grant their consent to the processing of their Personal Data lawfully by the Company. In the case of a child under the age of 14, parents or guardians’ consent for the processing of Personal Data will be necessary, and this will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorised it.

Confidentiality and Security of Personal Data

The Company agrees to take the necessary technical and organisational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, in such a way as to guarantee the security of Personal Data and to prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised communication or access to such data.

The Site has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that Personal Data is transmitted securely and confidentially, being the transmission of the data between the server and the User, and in feedback, fully encrypted.

However, because the Company 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 communicate to the User without undue delay when a violation of the security of Personal Data that is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons occurs. Following the provisions of Article 4 of the GDPR, a violation of the security of Personal Data means any breach of security that causes the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised communication or access to such data.

Personal Data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to report and guarantee through a legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by his employees, associates, and anyone to whom the information is accessible.

Rights derived from the processing of Personal Data

The User has over the Company and may, therefore, exercise against the Data Controller the following rights recognised in the GDPR and the Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights:

If the User considers that there is a problem or violation of the regulations in force in the way in which their Personal Data are processed, they will have the right to effective judicial protection and to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the State in which they have their habitual residence, workplace, or place of the alleged offence.
