C. What kind of personal data does INFORMA process, and where does the data come from?

• Data directly provided by the data subject or by another person working in the same company:

  In this case, information can be collected (i) through business cards, (ii) when filling in a form on INFORMA's website, or (iii) when providing necessary information for INFORMA to render services.

  The personal data processed in each case are as follows:

  • In order to attend to your requests, sign you up in newsletters (or other forms in INFORMA's websites) or access INFORMA's database: name and surname, corporate email, corporate telephone number, and NIF.

    Likewise, in certain website forms, INFORMA turns to a third party that produces proof of the user's consent. In those cases, INFORMA collects your digital footprint (set of data extracted from the user device that unequivocally identifies that device) with the sole purpose of producing that proof.

  • In order to provide services to customers, they are required to provide the following data:
    • If the customer is a legal person, the name and surname of a contact person, position in the company, corporate email, and corporate contact telephone number.
    • If the customer is an individual businessman, they will have to provide their NIF, mailing address, and bank data.
• Data automatically collected through cookies:

  INFORMA also collects the user's navigation data automatically when they access INFORMA's platform, social network accounts, emails or SMS through cookies or data recovery and storage devices.

  In those cases, the information collected refers to context data such as the browser version, IP address, email opening times, viewed websites or sections of the visited platform or the device used to go online.

  You can consult our Cookies Policy for additional information on this data processing or access the Consent Management Dashboard that allows you to manage cookies on our WEBSITE.

• Data obtained from social networks:

  INFORMA has access to the social profiles of the people or entities that follow their accounts on social networks, so it has access to the available information according to the privacy level established by the user. For example, if you do not disclose your email address to other contacts, INFORMA will not see it either.

  INFORMA just interacts with their followers by publishing news about their activity and by answering messages or mentions.

  If you want to control the information that INFORMA automatically obtains from social networks, you can do so in your profile in each of the social networks in which you have an account. You have to log in and select from your profile which information you want to reveal and who is allowed to access it.

• Data obtained from public sources:

  Such as contact data of private or public institutions' representatives.

INFORMA does not collect data labelled by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as especially sensitive, like race or ethnic origin, politic opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, participation in unions, health, sexual activity or orientation, biometric or genetic data.

It is the data subject's responsibility to ensure that the data provided are true, exact, complete and updated, and only they will be responsible of any direct or indirect damages or losses that may occur as a consequence of the breach of this obligation.

If you are a customer of INFORMA, your personal data will be stored for as long as the contractual relation remains valid. If you work for a legal person that is a customer of INFORMA, INFORMA will store your personal data until the said legal person requests your deregistration and, in any case, while the contractual relation between INFORMA and the company where you work is valid. In both cases, once the contract is terminated, INFORMA will keep your personal data blocked during the legal prescription terms (6 years according to the Commercial Code regulations).
