Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed in hertaverse are solely identification data. In no case 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. The Data Controller undertakes to obtain the explicit and verifiable consent of the User for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

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

On occasions when the User must or can 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 the completion of any of them is mandatory because they are essential for the proper development of the operation performed.

Purposes of the processing to which personal data are destined

Personal data are collected and managed by The Data Controller in order to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established in the forms filled out by the latter or to respond to a request or inquiry.

Likewise, the data may be used for a commercial purpose of personalization, operation, and statistics, and activities related to the corporate purpose of The Data Controller, as well as for the extraction, storage of data, and marketing studies to adapt the offered Content to the User, and to improve the quality, operation, and navigation on the Website.

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

Periods of retention of personal data

Personal data will only be retained for the minimum necessary time for the purposes of their processing and, in any case, only for the following period: 24 months, or until the User requests its deletion.

At the time the personal data is obtained, 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 not be shared with third parties.

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

Personal data of minors

Respecting the provisions of Articles 8 of the GDPR and 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, only those over 14 years old can lawfully give their consent for the processing of their personal data by the Data Controller. If it is a minor under 14 years old, the consent of the parents or guardians will be required for the processing, and it will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorized it.

Confidentiality and security of personal data

The Data Controller commits to adopting the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the appropriate level of security for the risk of the collected data, to ensure the security of personal data and to avoid the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed, or unauthorized communication 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 feedback, is fully encrypted or encoded.

However, because the Data Controller cannot guarantee the impregnability of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller commits to notifying the User without undue delay when a breach of the security of personal data occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Following the provisions of Article 4 of the GDPR, a breach of the security of personal data is understood to be any breach of security that results in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and ensure by a legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and any person to whom it makes the information accessible.

Rights deriving from the processing of personal data

The User has over hertaverse and may, therefore, exercise against the Data Controller the following rights recognized in the GDPR 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 of whether or not the Data Controller is processing their personal data and, if so, to obtain information about their specific personal data and the processing that the Data Controller has carried out or is carrying out, as well as, among other things, the information available on the origin of those data and the recipients of the communications made or planned for them.
• Right to rectification: This is the User’s right to have their personal data modified if it proves to be inaccurate or, considering the purposes of the processing, incomplete.
• Right to erasure (“the right to be forgotten”): This is the User’s right, provided that the current legislation does not establish otherwise, to obtain the erasure of their personal data when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed; the User has withdrawn their consent to the processing and there is no other legal basis; the User objects to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue with it; the personal data have been processed unlawfully; the personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation; or the personal data have been obtained as a result of a direct offer of services of the information society to a minor under 14 years old. In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller, considering the technology available and the cost of its application, must take reasonable measures to inform other controllers processing the personal data of the data subject’s request to delete any links to those personal data.
• Right to restriction of processing: This is the User’s right to restrict the processing of their personal data. The User has the right to obtain the restriction of the processing when they contest the accuracy of their personal data; the processing is unlawful; the Data 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: In cases where the processing is carried out by automated means, the User will have the right to receive from the Data Controller their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit them to another data controller. Whenever technically possible, the Data Controller will directly transmit the data to that other controller.
• Right to object: This is the User’s right to ensure that personal data is not processed or ceases to be processed by the Data Controller.
• Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling: This is the User’s right not to be subject to an individualized decision based solely on automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, unless otherwise provided by current legislation.

Thus, the User may exercise their rights by written communication addressed to the Data Controller with the reference “GDPR-https://hertaverse.ai/“, specifying:

• Name and surname of the User and a copy of the DNI. In cases where representation is admitted, it will also be necessary the identification by the same means of the person representing the User, as well as the document accrediting the representation. The photocopy of the DNI may be replaced, by any other legally valid means that proves the identity.
• Petition with the specific reasons for the request or information to which you want access.
• Address for notification purposes.
• Date and signature of the applicant.
• Any document that proves the request being made.

Links to third-party websites

The Website may include hyperlinks or links that allow access to web pages of third parties other than the Data Controller, and therefore are not operated by hertaverse. The owners of those 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 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 submit a complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular, in the State in which they have their 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 (http://www.agpd.es).

II. ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

It is necessary that the User has read and agrees with the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, as well as that they accept the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller can proceed to the same in the form, during the periods, and for the purposes indicated. The use of the Website will imply the acceptance of its Privacy Policy.

The Data Controller 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. It is recommended that the User consult this page periodically to be aware of the latest changes or updates.

This Privacy Policy was updated to adapt to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 27 April 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 Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights.
