• Principle of integrity and confidentiality: personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures their security and confidentiality.
• Principle of accountability: the Data Controller shall be responsible for ensuring that the above principles are complied with.

Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed by Barcelona Local Planner are identifying data only. Under no circumstances 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. Barcelona Local Planner undertakes to obtain the express and verifiable consent of the User for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The User shall have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing consent shall be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent shall not affect the use of the Website.

On occasions when the User must or may provide their data through forms to make enquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if completion of any of them is mandatory because they are essential for the proper completion of the operation carried out.

Purposes of the processing of personal data

Personal data are collected and managed by Barcelona Local Planner for the purpose of facilitating, expediting and fulfilling the commitments established between the Website and the User, maintaining the relationship established in the forms completed by the User, or responding to a request or query.

Likewise, the data may be used for commercial personalisation, operational and statistical purposes, and activities inherent to Barcelona Local Planner’s corporate purpose, as well as for data extraction and storage and marketing studies to tailor the Content offered to the User, and to improve the quality, functioning and navigation of the Website.

At the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed about the specific purpose or purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended; that is, the use or uses that will be made of the information collected.

Personal data retention periods

Personal data shall be retained only for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of their processing and, in any case, only for the following period: 3 years, or until the User requests their deletion.

At the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed about the period for which the personal data will be retained or, where that 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:

Google LLC, with registered address in Mountain View, California, USA.

In the event that the Data Controller intends to transfer personal data to a third country or international organisation, at the time personal data are obtained, the User will be informed of the third country or international organisation to which the data are intended to be transferred, as well as the existence or absence of an adequacy decision by the Commission.

Personal data of minors

In accordance with 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 persons aged 14 or over may lawfully give their consent to the processing of their personal data by Barcelona Local Planner. If the User is under 14 years of age, the consent of parents or guardians will be required for the processing, and this shall only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorised it.

Secrecy and security of personal data

Barcelona Local Planner undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organisational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, so as to ensure the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised communication or access to such data.

The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data are transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User, and in feedback, is fully encrypted.

However, since Barcelona Local Planner cannot guarantee the inviolability of the internet or the complete absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay when a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In accordance with Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or the unauthorised communication or access to such data.

Personal data shall be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform of and to ensure, through 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 arising from the processing of personal data

The User has rights over Barcelona Local Planner and may therefore exercise the following rights recognised in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights, against the Data Controller:

• Right of access: This is the User’s right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not Barcelona Local Planner is processing their personal data and, if so, to obtain information about their specific personal data and the processing that Barcelona Local Planner has carried out or is carrying out, as well as, among other information, the available information about the origin of such data and the recipients of communications made or planned regarding such data.
• Right to rectification: This is the User’s right to have their personal data modified where they are inaccurate or, taking into account the purposes of the processing, incomplete.
• Right to erasure (‘the right to be forgotten’): This is the User’s right, provided that 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 processing and there is no other legal basis for it; the User objects to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue with it; the personal data have been unlawfully processed; the personal data must be erased in compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data were obtained as a result of a direct offer of information society services to a child under 14 years of age. In addition to erasing the data, the Data Controller, taking into account the available technology and the cost of its application, shall take reasonable steps to inform the controllers who are processing the personal data of the data subject’s request for erasure of any link 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 restriction of processing where 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 them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and where the User has objected to processing.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is carried out by automated means, the User shall have the right to receive from the Data Controller their personal data 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 that other controller.
• Right to object: This is the User’s right to object to the processing of their personal data or to request that Barcelona Local Planner cease such processing.
• 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 individualised decision based solely on the automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, unless current legislation establishes otherwise.

The User may therefore exercise their rights by sending a written communication to the Data Controller with the reference ‘GDPR www.barcelonalocalplanner.com»‘, specifying:

• Name and surname(s) of the User and a copy of their national identity document. In cases where representation is permitted, identification of the person representing the User by the same means will also be required, along with the document accrediting the representation. The photocopy of the national identity document may be replaced by any other legally valid means of proving identity.
• Request stating the specific grounds for the request or the information to which access is sought.
• Address for notification purposes.
• Date and signature of the applicant.
• Any document evidencing the request made.

Links to third-party websites

The Website may include hyperlinks or links that allow access to web pages of third parties other than Barcelona Local Planner, which are therefore not operated by Barcelona Local Planner. The owners of those websites shall have their own data protection policies, and they shall be responsible, in each case, for their own files and their own privacy practices.

Complaints to the supervisory authority

If the User considers that there is a problem or breach of current regulations in the way their personal data are being processed, they shall have the right to effective judicial protection and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged breach. In the case of Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (https://www.aepd.es/).

1. ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

It is necessary for the User to have read and agreed to the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, and to accept the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller may proceed with such processing in the manner, within the periods, and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website shall imply acceptance of the Privacy Policy thereof.

Barcelona Local Planner reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy, at its own discretion, or as a result of a legislative, jurisprudential or doctrinal change by the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this Privacy Policy will not be explicitly notified to the User. The User is advised to consult this page periodically to keep up to date with the latest changes or updates.
