The Service does not use automated individual decisions.

4.1. In emails and contact forms
The website of the Service has an TLS encryption that allows the user to safely send their personal data through standard type contact forms.
The personal data collected will be subject to automated processing and incorporated into the corresponding activity registry files of which the Service is the owner.
In that sense:
  • We will receive your IP, which will be used to verify the origin of the message in order to offer you adequate recommendations (for example, to present the information in the correct language) and to detect possible irregularities (for example, possible attempts to cyber attack the Service), as well as data related to your ISP.
  • You can provide us with your data through telephone, email and other means of communication indicated.

At no time will the Service or its staff have access to the bank details (for example credit card number) that the user as a customer will provide to our payment providers.

C
ertain services provided through the web (for example, the possibility of participating in a promotional code contest or raffle) may contain particular conditions regarding the protection of personal data. It will be necessary to accept them before participating in those services.

4.2. In social networks
We have profiles on some of the main Internet social networks, with the Service being responsible for the processing in relation to the data published on them (for example, photos uploaded by the Service in which people's faces appear ).

The data will be processed in line with the social network rules for corporate profiles. Therefore, when the law does not prohibit it, we can inform our followers by any means the social network allows about their activities or offers, as well as provide a personalized customer service.

In no case do we extract data from social networks, unless the user's consent to do so is obtained promptly and expressly.
When, due to the very nature of social networks, exercising your rights depends on modifying your profile, we will help and advise you to the best of our ability.

4.3. In raffles
When participating in promotional actions organized exclusively by the Service, the data that you transfer will be treated only by us for the purpose indicated in the statement of the action and its corresponding legal conditions.
