Statistics and service improvement

Obtaining statistical and aggregate information to understand how ALMA PRO activities and services operate, analyse their reach and improve the user experience.

Wherever possible, these analyses will use anonymised or aggregated information.

The applicable legal bases will depend on the specific purpose of the processing.

Processing may be based on:

The data subject's consent,

for example, when they voluntarily subscribe to a newsletter, agree to receive communications or complete certain forms.

Taking pre-contractual steps or performing a contractual relationship,

where processing is necessary to manage a registration, collaboration, partnership, membership or similar relationship requested by the data subject.

Compliance with legal obligations

applicable to ALMA Innovation Network SLU.

Legitimate interest,

where applicable and provided that such interest does not take precedence over the rights and freedoms of data subjects, for example to ensure system security, manage existing professional relationships or improve services.

Where a purpose depends on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.

Fields marked as mandatory on forms must be completed so that the request can be properly handled or the relevant service provided.

Refusal to provide certain data may prevent a request, registration or service from being processed where those data are necessary for that purpose.

Personal data may be disclosed or made accessible, where necessary, to:

Technology providers and service providers acting on behalf of ALMA Innovation Network SLU.
Providers of web hosting, technology infrastructure, content management and communications services.
Universities and academic or scientific organisations associated with specific ALMA PRO activities.
Collaborating entities, Partners, sponsors or participating organisations where disclosure of data is necessary to manage a specific activity, registration or collaboration.
Public authorities, courts, tribunals or other bodies where there is a legal obligation.

Where disclosure to a university, Partner, sponsor, collaborator or other entity serves a purpose of that organisation's own and is not strictly necessary to provide the requested service, the data subject will be informed in advance and their consent will be requested where legally required.

ALMA Innovation Network SLU will not sell personal data to third parties.

The operation of the website and the management of certain activities involve the use of providers including:

These providers may act as data processors or have another legal role depending on the specific service contracted, and will process data in accordance with their own contractual terms and the safeguards required by applicable legislation.

Some of the technology providers used by ALMA PRO may process or store personal data outside the European Economic Area, particularly in the United States.

Where international transfers of data take place, ALMA Innovation Network SLU will endeavour to ensure that they are carried out using one of the mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, such as European Commission adequacy decisions, recognised data protection mechanisms or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

The providers used must offer the appropriate safeguards for the protection of the personal data subject to such transfers.

Data will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which they were collected.

As a general rule:

Data relating to enquiries or requests for information will be retained for as long as necessary to address them and, subsequently, for the periods necessary to address any potential liabilities.
Data relating to relationships with Partners, members, collaborators or participants will be retained for the duration of that relationship and subsequently for the periods required by law.
Data used for commercial communications or newsletters will be retained until the data subject withdraws their consent or requests to unsubscribe.
Information necessary for compliance with legal obligations will be retained for the periods established by applicable legislation.

Once those periods have expired, the data will be deleted or, where applicable, duly blocked for the periods established by law.

Everyone has the right to obtain information about the processing of their personal data.

The request must enable the applicant to be properly identified and specify the right they wish to exercise. Where there are reasonable doubts about their identity, additional information may be requested solely for the purpose of verifying it.

Data subjects also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) if they consider that the processing of their personal data infringes applicable legislation.

ALMA PRO services and content are not specifically directed at minors, and the knowing collection of minors' personal data through this website is not envisaged.

If it is discovered that data relating to a minor have been received without the relevant authorisation where required, appropriate measures will be taken to delete them.

ALMA PRO does not request special categories of personal data through its forms, such as information about health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or biometric data intended to uniquely identify a person.

Nor is automated individual decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or significantly affects users envisaged.

ALMA Innovation Network SLU will adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, taking into account the nature of the data processed, the state of technology and the risks associated with processing.

However, no system connected to the Internet can guarantee absolute security.

The website may contain links to websites, platforms or services managed by third parties.

ALMA Innovation Network SLU is not responsible for the privacy policies or data processing practices carried out directly by those third parties. You are therefore advised to consult their respective policies before providing them with personal information.
