Personal data collected by www.abaoaqu.org through the forms provided on its pages will be entered into an automated file under the responsibility of the Data Controller, duly declared and registered with the General Register of the Data Protection Agency, which may be consulted on the website of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (http://www.agpd.es).

Principles applicable to the processing of personal data
The processing of the User's personal data shall be subject to the following principles set out in Article 5 of the GDPR:

Lawfulness, fairness and transparency: the User’s consent will always be required after fully transparent information has been provided about the purposes for which the personal data are collected.
Purpose limitation: personal data shall be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
Data minimisation: only personal data that are strictly necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed shall be collected.
Accuracy: personal data must be accurate and kept up to date.
Storage limitation: personal data shall be kept in a form that permits identification of the User only for as long as necessary for the purposes of processing.
Integrity and confidentiality: personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures its security and confidentiality.
Accountability of A Bao A Qu: the Data Controller shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the above principles.

Categories of personal data
The categories of data processed by www.abaoaqu.org consist exclusively of identification data. Under no circumstances are special categories of personal data, within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR, processed.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for processing personal data is consent. www.abaoaqu.org undertakes to obtain the User's express and verifiable consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes. The User has the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent shall be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawing consent will not affect use of the Website. Whenever the User must or may provide data through forms in order to make enquiries, request information or for reasons related to the Website's content, they will be informed if any field is mandatory because it is essential for the proper completion of the relevant operation.

Purposes for which personal data are processed
Personal data are collected and managed by www.abaoaqu.org to facilitate, streamline and fulfil the commitments established between the Website and the User, maintain the relationship established through forms completed by the User, or respond to requests or enquiries. Data may also be used for commercial purposes involving personalisation, operations and statistics, and activities related to the corporate purpose of www.abaoaqu.org, as well as data extraction and storage and marketing studies to tailor the Content offered to the User and improve the quality, operation and navigation of the Website. When personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the specific purpose or purposes of processing, that is, the intended use or uses of the information collected.

Personal data retention periods
Personal data shall be retained only for the minimum period necessary for the purposes of processing and, in any event, only for the following period: until membership ends or until the User requests deletion. When personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the period for which they will be stored or, where this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that 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 organisation, the User will be informed at the time of collection of the country or organisation to which the data are to be transferred and whether or not the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision.

Personal data of minors
In accordance with Article 8 of the GDPR and Article 13 of the RDLOPD, only persons over 14 years of age may lawfully consent to the processing of their personal data by www.abaoaqu.org. For children under 14, parental or guardian consent is required, and processing will be lawful only insofar as it has been authorised by them.

Confidentiality and security of personal data
www.abaoaqu.org undertakes to adopt the technical and organisational measures necessary, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the data collected, to ensure the security of personal data and prevent their accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, or unauthorised disclosure or access, whether the data are transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, ensuring that personal data are transmitted securely and confidentially, as communications between the server and the User, in both directions, are fully encrypted. Nevertheless, since www.abaoaqu.org cannot guarantee that the Internet is completely secure or entirely free from hackers or other persons who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay of any personal data breach likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Under Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed. Personal data shall be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to communicate and ensure, through legal or contractual obligations, that employees, associates and anyone granted access to the information respect such confidentiality.

Rights arising from the processing of personal data
The User has the following rights recognised by the GDPR in relation to www.abaoaqu.org and may exercise them against the Data Controller:

Right of access: The User has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether www.abaoaqu.org is processing their personal data and, if so, to obtain information about the specific personal data concerned and the processing carried out or being carried out by www.abaoaqu.org, including available information on the origin of those data and the recipients of disclosures made or planned.
Right to rectification: The User has the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected or, taking into account the purposes of processing, incomplete data completed.
Right to erasure (the 'right to be forgotten'): The User has the right, unless otherwise provided by applicable law, to obtain erasure of their personal data where 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 for processing; the User objects to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for continuing it; the personal data have been unlawfully processed; the personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation; or the personal data were collected in connection with the direct offer of information society services to a child under 14 years of age. In addition to erasing the data, the Data Controller, taking account of available technology and implementation costs, shall take reasonable steps to inform controllers processing those personal data of the data subject's request to erase any links to those personal data.
Right to restriction of processing: The User has the right to restrict processing of their personal data. The User may obtain restriction where they contest the accuracy of their personal data; processing is unlawful; the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data but the User needs them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or the User has objected to processing.
Right to data portability: Where 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 and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller. Where technically feasible, the Data Controller shall transmit the data directly to the other controller.
Right to object: The User has the right to prevent the processing of their personal data by www.abaoaqu.org or to require such processing to cease.
Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling: The User has the right not to be subject to an individual decision based solely on automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, unless otherwise provided by applicable law.

Accordingly, the User may exercise their rights by sending a written communication to the Data Controller, quoting the reference 'Rgpd-www.abaoaqu.org' and specifying:

The User's full name and a copy of their national identity document (DNI). Where representation is permitted, the representative must also provide identification by the same means and documentary proof of their authority. A photocopy of the DNI may be replaced by any other legally valid means of proving identity.
The request, stating the specific reasons for it or the information to which access is sought.
An address for receiving notifications.
The date and the applicant's signature.
Any documents supporting the request.

Links to third-party websites
The Website may contain hyperlinks or links to third-party websites other than www.abaoaqu.org, which are therefore not operated by www.abaoaqu.org. The owners of those websites have their own data protection policies and are responsible, in each case, for their own data files and privacy practices.

Complaints to the supervisory authority
If the User considers that there is a problem or breach of applicable legislation in the way their personal data are processed, they have the right to effective judicial protection and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the country of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. In Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (http://www.agpd.es).

Acceptance of and changes to this Privacy Policy
The User must have read and agreed to the personal data protection terms contained in this Privacy Policy and must consent to the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller may process them in the manner, for the periods and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website implies acceptance of its Privacy Policy. www.abaoaqu.org reserves the right to amend its Privacy Policy at its discretion or as a result of legislative changes, case law or guidance from the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this Privacy Policy will be expressly notified to the User. This Privacy Policy was updated on 1 July 2018 to comply with 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).

II. COOKIE POLICY

Accessing this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User—on the different devices they may use to browse—so that the server can remember certain information which will subsequently be read only by the server that placed it. Cookies make browsing easier and more user-friendly and do not damage the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information about the preferences set by the User during their visit to the Website. They are used to recognise the User and personalise their experience and use of the Website, and may also help identify and resolve errors.

Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website, and the websites visited immediately before and after it. However, cookies cannot contact the User’s telephone number or any other personal contact method. Cookies cannot extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way private information can become part of a cookie file is if the User personally provides that information to the server.

Cookies that make it possible to identify a person are considered personal data. The Privacy Policy described above therefore applies to them. Their use requires the User’s consent. Such consent must be based on a genuine choice, given through a clear affirmative action before the initial processing, revocable and documented.

First-party cookies
These cookies are sent to the User's computer or device and managed exclusively by www.abaoaqu.org to improve the operation of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content and the User's experience. These cookies allow the User to be recognised as a returning visitor and the content to be adapted to their preferences. The entity or entities responsible for providing cookies may disclose this information to third parties where required by law or where a third party processes the information on their behalf.

Social media cookies
www.abaoaqu.org incorporates social media plugins that allow access to social networks from the Website. Social media cookies may therefore be stored in the User's browser. The owners of these social networks have their own data protection and cookie policies and are responsible for their own data files and privacy practices. Users should consult those policies for information about the cookies and, where applicable, the processing of their personal data.

Disabling, rejecting and deleting cookies
The User may disable, reject and delete all or some of the cookies installed on their device through their browser settings (including, for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer). The procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may vary between browsers. Users should therefore consult the instructions provided by the browser they use. If they reject cookies, in whole or in part, they may continue to use the Website, although some features may be limited.

Changes to the Cookie Policy
The Website's Cookie Policy may be amended or updated. Users are therefore advised to review this policy whenever they access the Website so that they remain properly informed about how and why cookies are used.

Users or third parties who create a hyperlink to the www.abaoaqu.org Website from a page on another website should be aware that:
No reproduction, in whole or in part, of any Content and/or Services of the Website is permitted without the express authorisation of www.abaoaqu.org.
Nor is any false, inaccurate or incorrect statement about the www.abaoaqu.org Website or its Content and/or Services permitted.

Except for the hyperlink itself, the website containing that hyperlink must not include any element of this Website protected by intellectual property law under Spanish law, unless expressly authorised by www.abaoaqu.org.

The creation of a hyperlink shall not imply any relationship between www.abaoaqu.org and the owner of the website from which the link is made, nor shall it imply that www.abaoaqu.org is aware of or accepts the content, services and/or activities offered on that website, or vice versa.
