Privacy Policy

1.- Data controller

The personal data you provide through the registration form and those provided during the development of the event will be processed by Ediciones El País S.L.U. with address at St. Miguel Yuste 40, with VAT number: B-85635910, entity registered in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid in Volume 30.974, Folio 102, Sheet M-476760, Registration 1ª (hereinafter,  the Organizer), as the controller of the processing.

2.- Purposes of the processing

2.1.- Registration on the platform

In case you register on the platform, your identification, contact and password data will be processed by the Organiser to manage your registration as an user. Additionally, you will be able to complete your registered user profile, with professional data (role, company, etc.).

The lawful basis that legitimises this processing is the need for the management, control and execution of the contractual relationship.

For this purpose, your data will be kept indefinitely, until you cancel your user account. Subsequently, your data will be blocked for 3 years to deal with possible liabilities arising from the processing.

2.2.- Event registration

In case you register for an event on the platform, your identification and contact details will be processed by the Organiser to manage your registration, access and participation in the event.

The lawful basis that legitimises this processing is the need for the management, control and execution of the contractual relationship.

For this purpose, your data will be kept until the end of the event. Subsequently, your data will be blocked for 3 years to deal with possible liabilities arising from the processing.

Notwithstanding the above, the event will be recorded and published on online video platforms, so that, in the event that you participate in the event, your image and/or voice may be captured and kept indefinitely while the recording of the event remains published.

2.3.- Commercial communications from the Organiser:

Based on your preferences, your data will be processed to send you commercial information about the Organiser's products, services, promotions and/or events. 

This information will be sent by any means of contact provided, including email. Emails sent will include tiny, transparent links and images associated with your address. In this way, by downloading these images or accessing the links contained in the email, we will be able to know for statistical purposes whether you open the email or access the links sent. You can prevent these uses by configuring your email manager to prevent automated image downloads, as well as by not accessing links in the emails you receive. In each communication, you may object to receiving this type of information through the contact means indicated to process your request. The lawful basis that legitimises this processing is the previous relationship and the legitimate interest in keeping you informed. For this purpose, your data will be processed indefinitely, until you exercise your rights of erasure or objection.

2.4.- Specific purposes in specific events:

In addition to the purposes indicated above, and depending on the event organised by the Organiser, your data may be further processed to:

  • Networking functions: The platform has a networking area that is configured so that your user profile appears private by default from your registration. This means that your data will not be visible to the rest of the platform's users. However, in certain events, you will be informed of the possibility of activating these networking functions in order to establish professional relationships with the rest of the users registered for the event. The lawful basis that legitimises this processing will be your explicit consent, granted when you voluntarily activate the networking functions.
  • Control access to the event platforms: In case of events with access limited to registered users, your identification data will be used to control access to the event platform. In those events in which the platform is located outside the European Union, the Organiser will specifically inform you of this issue and of the data protection guarantees that, where appropriate, the platform provides. In the case of platforms located in the United States, your data may be subject to international data transfers. However, these entities provide adequate data protection guarantees by adhering to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework that declares an adequate level of protection by the European Commission or by signing the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
  • Data transfers to sponsors, collaborators and/or co-organizers of the event: If you wish, you may consent to your data being transferred to collaborating companies, sponsors and/or co-organizers of the Organizer's specific event.

3.- Exercise of data protection rights:

In any case, you may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction or portability, by writing to the Organiser by post at the postal address indicated in section 1 of this Policy, proving your identity as a registered user on the platform and providing the data with which you registered.

If you consider that your right to data protection has been infringed, you may file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or with the Data Protection Officer of the Prisa Group to which the Organiser belongs (dpo@prisa.com).
