What is our legitimacy in processing your personal data?

Depending on the way in which we process your data, below is an explanation of the legal basis that allows us to process them. For example, sometimes we have to process data in order to provide you with the service or manage the product you have requested from us; at other times because we are required to do so by law, etc. Below we explain each of the cases in which we might obtain and use your personal data:

  • a)To provide you with the different services we offer through the Website and which you might request from us. For example, in order to offer you assistance through our contact centre or if you wish to request any information about our products and services. In the event that you call us, in order to deal with your call, we might even record conversations for internal quality assurance purposes, prevent possible fraud and carry out internal statistical studies.
    In these situations, we understand that we have a legitimate interest in using the information you provide us with in order to serve you every time you request our assistance or services.
  • b)In order to sign up for and subsequently manage any products and services we offer you and which you might be interested in taking out, we need to process your data.

  • c)In order to fulfil certain legal obligations derived from managing and maintaining the contractual relationship surrounding the products and services you request from us.
    In this case, we will process your data exclusively for the purpose of complying with legal obligations and, if applicable, following the directives and requirements set out by law.
  • d) For all other situations in which it is not necessary to process your personal data in order to fulfil the contractual relationship, to comply with legal obligations, or based on a legitimate interest of THE ENTITY, we will ask you for your prior consent to process them.
