When you are requested to provide personal data for the provision of services, you will be informed of what data you must provide.

If you do not provide this required data, we will not be able to provide you with the services.

The information obtained from you by ISGlobal from the website when you sign up for a promotional event or send a form is processed with the utmost confidentiality for helping you to take part in the event in question or, in the second case, sending you the information you requested. The information obtained is not used for any other purpose. The personal data provided will not be disclosed or transferred to third parties without your consent.

When the completion of a form is requested, the user will be informed of the identity and data of the data controller and the Data Protection Officer, the purposes and legal basis of the treatment, the recipients of the data as well as, where appropriate, the international data transfers, the data retention periods and the user's ability to exercise their rights of access, rectification, deletion, portability, limitation and / or opposition to treatment, the right complaint to the control authority and the existence of automated decisions. The personal data collected will only be processed and / or transferred for the express purpose, and always with the consent of the user.

Information is only sent via the form(s) of the website after you have expressed your acceptance by selecting an "ACCEPT/SEND" (or similar) button, via which ISGlobal has proof that you gave your consent for it to process your personal data.

The request must include your full name, address for notices, a photocopy of your ID document or passport and an indication of the right you want to exercise.

If you are unhappy with the processing done by ISGlobal or believe that your rights have been violated, you may file a claim with the Spanish Data Protection Agency at any time (www.aepd.es – C/ Jorge Juan, 6, Madrid).

ISGlobal has implemented the necessary technical and organizational security measures in order to guarantee the security of your personal data and prevent its alteration, loss, treatment and / or unauthorized access, considering the state of technology, the nature of the stored data and the risks to which they are exposed, whether they come from human action or the physical or natural environment, all in accordance with the provisions of current regulations.

In accordance with Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on the Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce, if you do not wish to receive electronic commercial notices from ISGlobal in the future, you may inform us of this preference by sending an email to the Data Protection Officer (lopd@isglobal.org).
