The Nuevo Colegio Internacional S.L. has created this website to meet the requirements of Constitutional Law 15/1999, of 13th December, on the Protection of Personal Data (LOPD – Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos de Carácter Personal) and Royal Decree 1720/2007, of 21st December, on the Regulation for Development of the LOPD.

Norms that we will apply regarding your personal details

When processing your personal details, we will apply the following norms that comply with the requirements of the EU Data Protection Act:

• Lawfulness, fairness and transparency: we will always request your consent for processing your personal data, whether that’s for a single or for various specific purposes (which we will inform you of in advance with absolute transparency).
• Data minimisation: we will only request data that is strictly necessary in relation to the purposes for which we require it.
• Limitation of storage period: the data will be kept for no longer than necessary for processing purposes. Depending on the purpose, we will inform you of the corresponding storage period. In the case of subscriptions, we will periodically review our lists and eliminate any records that have been inactive for a considerable amount of time.
• Integrity and confidentiality: your data will be processed in such a way as to ensure adequate security and confidentiality of personal information. Please note that we take all the necessary precautions to prevent unauthorised access or improper use of your data by third parties.

 

How did we obtain your data?

The personal data that we use at EIC comes from:

• Contact and information request forms

What are your rights when you provide us with your data?

Anyone has the right to obtain confirmation on whether we at EIC are processing personal data related to them.

Individuals concerned have the right to:

• Request access to such personal data

• Request that the data be transferred

Individuals concerned have the right to access their personal data, as well as to request the correction of inaccurate data, or where appropriate, to request its deletion when, for among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. In certain circumstances, those concerned may request to restrict the processing of their data, in which case we will only keep it for fiscal or for claims purposes.

Under certain circumstances, and for reasons related to their particular situation, individuals concerned may object to the processing of their data. EIC will then cease to process said data, except on valid and compelling grounds, or for fiscal or claims purposes.

As a user, you have the right to receive any personal data that concerns you and that was provided in a structured, machine-readable format for shared use, in order to hand it over to another organisation for processing if and when:

• The processing is based on consent
• The data has been provided by the individual concerned
• The processing is carried out by automated means

When exercising their right to transfer data in accordance with the previous section, individuals concerned will also have the right to request that the personal data be transferred directly from one organisation to another when technically possible.

Individuals concerned will also have the right to effective legal protection and to submit a claim to the supervisory authority, in this case the Spanish Agency for Data Protection, if they consider that the processing of their personal data violates the Data Protection Act.
