These are the only AGENCY Program General Conditions applicable to the Agencies Platform (without taking into account that for certain services specific conditions may exist) and upon the contraction of services by the AGENCY these substitute any other conditions, except in the case of a previous written agreement between CIVITATIS and the AGENCY. To consult the Affiliate Programme General Conditions applicable to the use of the affiliate resources please see this link https://www.civitatis.com/en/affiliates/affiliate-programme-general-conditions/. Notwithstanding the above, the Affiliate Programme General Conditions will be applicable in all that is not regulated and that does not contradict these Agency Program General Conditions.

Accessing the Website does not require the Agency to be registered. However, in order to purchase services offered by CIVITATIS, or the resources provided such as text links, banners or widgets (hereinafter, the "Tools") the Agency must (i) register in the CIVITATIS Website; (ii) accept these terms and conditions before making the corresponding payment; and (iii) in the case of agencies with a Spanish CIF/NIF or the intra-community VAT for agencies from the rest of the EU (according to the country of fiscal residence of the Agency), have already applied for the corresponding NIF. In addition, the Agency must provide CIVITATIS with a copy of said NIF within a period of 6 months from the registration date of the Agency in the CIVITATIS Website, as well as confirmation of being registered in the VIES (in the case of EU agencies, except Spain) within a period of 6 months from the registration date of the Agency in the CIVITATIS Website.

Agencies will have full responsibility for the use of their accounts. Consequently, they will be responsible for the adequate safekeeping and confidentiality of the username and/or passwords that enable access to their account and to the affiliate resources of the Agency Platform provided by CIVITATIS, and agree not to grant its use to third parties, either temporarily or permanently, nor to allow access by third parties.

In their Control Panel within the Agency Platform, the Agencies will be able to consult the status, details and specifications of the bookings made in real time, as well as detailed and related information on aspects such as invoicing and commissions. With the Control Panel, the Agencies will be able to access, manage and modify the booking, download activity vouchers and request service invoices for bookings made via the Agency Platform. For bookings generated through the affiliate resources, the referred client will be the only one who will have the power to access, manage and modify the booking.

To be able to reserve services via the Website, the AGENCY will have to register as such, using the form created for this purpose. Having completed this step, the AGENCY will receive an email from CIVITATIS informing them of the acceptance or rejection of this petition, without the need to justify the decision taken. Once CIVITATIS has accepted the AGENCY request, the AGENCY account will be activated and from this moment onwards will be able to make reservations via the Website, as well as via the membership resources available for the reservation of CIVITATIS Services directly by its Clients. Participation in the AGENCY programme is totally free and incurs no permanence costs.

In the case of a group of Agencies, it must be the group which sends all the information regarding the Agencies directly to CIVITATIS to transmit the registration of said Agencies in the AGENCY programme.

By accepting these AGENCY Programme General Conditions, the AGENCY declares that they will provide correct, exact, current and complete data about their identity or that of the person in whose name they are reserving the activity. In this way, the AGENCY will be responsible for the accuracy of the data given to CIVITATIS and of any consequences which could arise from errors in this information.

The AGENCY and its representatives bear full responsibility for the use of their account, of the affiliate resources and tools of the Agency Platform, of the management and/or modifications of the reservations made via the Agency Platform and in particular, of the use and safekeeping of the Clients' payment methods. Therefore they will also be responsible for the care and confidentiality of their AGENCY name and/or passwords which permit access to their account, and state that they will not provide use to third parties, whether temporary or permanent, nor provide access to said third parties. Should the AGENCY not use their AGENCY account and/or the affiliate resources available on the Agency Platform for online sales to your Customers when making their reservation, CIVITATIS will not be responsible for the application of the AGENCY commission on this reservation.

In accordance with the aforementioned, The AGENCY must immediately notify CIVITATIS by email to agencies@civitatis.com any unusual activity regarding their AGENCY name and/or password, arising from circumstances such as theft, loss, or unauthorised use, so CIVITATIS can proceed to cancel or block as soon as the undue use of your AGENCY Account is known. If you fail to communicate the above, CIVITATIS will be exempt from any responsibility for the consequences of undue use of the AGENCYname or password by unauthorised third parties.

2.- OBJECTIVE OF THE WEBSITE

CIVITATIS has developed the present Website to offer the AGENCY a service where they can reserve activities, excursions and guided tours in different countries throughout the world.

CIVITATIS also offers a pick up and transfer service which allows the AGENCY to contract a private vehicle which collects and moves one or more of their clients from one point to another, within the cities where CIVITATIS offers this service.

CIVITATIS informs you that the activities, excursions and guided tours, as well as the transfers, are services provided by third parties, who collaborate with CIVITATIS (hereafter the Provider/s). Therefore CIVITATIS IS LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE RESERVATION OF ACTIVITIES, EXCURSIONS, GUIDED TOURS AND TRANSFERS, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, WHICH ARE THEMSELVES UNDERTAKEN DIRECTLY BY THE PROVIDERS.

In addition, via the Website, CIVITATIS offers Agencies free travel guides to different destinations, ( such as https://www.londoncitybreak.com/, https://www.introducingprague.com/, etc.) which include information about CIVITATIS’ Services, photographs, information on transport, the most important tourist sites, an interactive map and different recommendations and advice related to the destination. The access and consultation of said travel guides can only be done online, and their transformation, commercialisation and/or sale is prohibited, as well as their distribution outside of the channels mentioned in these General Conditions, with the AGENCY being responsible for misuse and unauthorised use.

In general, the purchase of the services offered by CIVITATIS via the Agency Platform will take place between the AGENCY and CIVITATIS, although with certain providers CIVITATIS will be limited to offering its Website as an online platform through which providers offer their services to be purchased directly by Agencies. The activity voucher will indicate the option purchased.

In this latter case, the AGENCY, when finalising the reservation, establishes a contractual relationship with the provider with whom they have reserved the activity or transfer. CIVITATIS will act as an intermediary between the AGENCY and provider, limited to transmit the relevant reservation details to the provider and sending the AGENCY an email confirmation of the reservation in place of the provider. In these cases, as is established in section 7 of this agreement, CIVITATIS will send an auto-invoice in the name of the AGENCY regarding the commission on the reservations made.

The purchase of services through the affiliate resources will be carried out directly by the Clients through the CIVITATIS' website by redirecting the Client using the personalized text link, banner or widget for online sale implemented by or provided to the Agency.

In all these cases the auto-invoice conditions established in section 6 of these General Conditions apply.

The information displayed by CIVITATIS through the Website is, in any case based on the information provided by the local providers.

3.- LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Both CIVITATIS and the Agency must comply with all the requirements included in the Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights and the Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, approving the revised text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws, with regard to Package Travel and related travel services under the conditions of Organiser, Retailers and/or business owners.

The booking of CIVITATIS’ services will be formalised once the AGENCY has completed and accepted the activity or transfer reservation form and this has been confirmed, with the reservation and payment processes having been completed correctly.

6.1 Agency Commission.

CIVITATIS will apply a 10% commission on the final sale price, except in the case of free tours, which will be 1€ for each person over 12 years old who books and attends the free tour activity. [1] In both commissions the VAT will always be included.

The Agency shall only have the right to request the transfer to its bank account of the amount accrued in the Wallet, as commissions, when the amount generated in the Wallet is equal to or greater than fifty euros (50€) or fifty US dollars (50USD), depending on the currency used by the Agency.

In the event that the amount of commissions earned by the Agency is less than the amount of fifty Euros (50 Euros) or fifty United States Dollars (50USD), it will be accumulated in the Agency's Wallet until a minimum amount equal to or greater than fifty Euros (50 Euros) or fifty United States Dollars (50USD) is reached.

In order to avoid duplication, Civitatis Gift Vouchers are not commissionable, since future sales made with this balance are commissionable.

6.2 Payment Method for Bookings.

6.2.1 Payment at Time of Booking:

Prices will be those indicated by CIVITATIS in the moment the reservation of the activity or transfer is made by the AGENCY. Payment can be made in Euros, US Dollars, Sterling or local currency when applicable. The payment methods available depend on the currency chosen for payment, not on the country of the Agency or the Client.

All services are immediately confirmed and paid for at the time of booking using:

Credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard and other cards available depending on the currency selected)
Digital payment methods (PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay or any other platform provided depending on the currency selected)
Deferred payment for the Services is permitted in certain countries subject to availability. (E.g. Pagantis [only for Spain]).
The Agencies may also make the reservations by using their "Wallet". This is a digital wallet which can be topped up by the Agency by means of bank transfer, credit or debit card, PayPal or CIVITATIS wallet top up codes. The use of the wallet credit is limited to bookings with Net Payment and provided that the price of the booking can be covered by the total credit of the wallet.

6.2.2 Deferred Net Payment "Pay Later":

In accordance with the provisions of clause 6.2.1 with respect to the prices indicated and the means of payment available and in paragraph a) of clause 6.3.1 with respect to the form of net payment, certain Agencies have the possibility to make the net payment of the total cost of those activities that solely and exclusively stipulate in their corresponding cancellation policy the right to reimbursement after the date of the reservation of the activity within the period and term indicated in this clause.

The "Pay Later" deferred net payment allows certain Agencies to book those CIVITATIS activities that provide for the option of reimbursement according to their specific cancellation policy and to make the total net payment for each activity on a date subsequent to the booking of the activity which, in any case, will be made and settled on the tenth calendar day prior to the date on which the activity takes place, CIVITATIS will charge the total net amount of the activity directly to the payment method selected by the Agency at the time of booking the activity. Partial deferred payments are not allowed, nor are payments made through different payment methods, and the total net amount of the activity must be paid through one and the same payment method previously selected by the Agency.

Likewise, if the Agency does not pay for the activity, for any reason or incident, in the time and manner established herein, it will automatically grant CIVITATIS the right to cancel the reservation and release the spots of the activity reserved by the Agency. In this sense, the Agency fully exempts CIVITATIS from any responsibility for any economic loss, damage, harm and/or inconvenience that may have been caused to the Agency itself or to any third party (Users, Providers, etc.) as a result of the cancellation of the reservation and release of the spots of the activity due to the lack of full payment of the activity by the Agency to CIVITATIS in the term and form established herein, and the Agency shall be expressly liable to third parties for any economic loss, damage, harm and/or inconvenience that may have been caused to them as a result of the cancellation of the reservation of the activity and release of the spots due to the lack of payment by the Agency to CIVITATIS.

6.3 Booking Generation by Agencies and Commission.

6.3.1 Payment Method for Bookings.

a) Net Payment
The 10% commission on the final sale price (VAT included) will be discounted when making payment for the reservation. The final price with the commission applied will only be shown to the AGENCY in the last step when making the reservation and in all the documentation for the AGENCY client the final sale price without AGENCY commission discounted is shown (this condition will not be modifiable). The objective is that the AGENCY can show their clients the final sale prices.

b) RRP Payment
The 10% commission on the final sale price (VAT included) will be automatically accrued on the 15th of the month following the completion of the reserved service. For the commission to be accrued, confirmation of the reservation by the provider for the chosen date is required, as well as its effective and correct provision. This commission will be paid to the Agency's Wallet.

6.3.2 Bookings made through Affiliate Links for the Agency.

The Agency will also have the affiliate resources on the Agency Platform in the "Links and resources" section to include on their Website such as an Affiliate Link, banners and widgets, which they can use for promotion, commercial communications and to redirect Clients to CIVITATIS’s Website so they can book the services.

The conditions of use and operation of the affiliate resources within your Agency Platform can be found in the "Links and resources" section and included in the Affiliate Programme General Conditions.

The bookings made through the affiliate resources belonging to the Affiliate Platform will generate a commission of 10% on the final price (VAT included), automatically accruing on the 15th of the month following the completion of the service. In order to accrue this commission, confirmation of the reservation by the provider is required for the chosen date, as well as its effective and correct provision. These commissions will be paid to the Agency's "Wallet".

6.3.3 Booking Free Tours.

For each person attending a Free Tour Activity, the Agency will receive a commission of 1 Euro (VAT included), which will be automatically accrued on the 15th of the month following the completion of the Service. For this commission to be paid, the supplier must confirm the reservation for the chosen date and provide the service effectively and correctly. These commissions will be paid to the Agency's "Wallet".

6.3.4 Commission Paid to the Wallet.

With the exception of the reservations paid under Net Price conditions, the rest of the commission for the reservation of Services will be accrued on the 15th of the month following the provision of the Service, and will be paid to the Agency's Wallet. Both the 10% commission of the final price of a service and the commission of 1 Euro per attendee of the Free Tours will be paid. All these commissions will include VAT.

The commission in the Wallet will be the same as the total amount detailed on the auto-invoice generated. Each commission per Service is independent, appearing as independent financial movements in the Agency's Wallet. These movements can be consulted in the Agency Control Panel in the "Pending Commissions" section.

On the 15th day of the month following the provision of the Service, the commission will be effectively accrued and will be automatically paid to the Agency's Wallet. The commission accrued and paid can be consulted in the Agency's Control Panel in the "Latest Movements" section, as long as the Service has been effectively confirmed and provided by the Client on the chosen date.

The Agency will be able to use the balance in its Wallet for future bookings.

In the event of total or partial cancellation of the reservations before the Services are carried out, the commission received by the Agency will be reflected in the commission movements as a positive movement (booking generation) and a negative movement (booking cancellation). If the total or partial cancellation of the Services takes place after the date of completion of the reserved Service and the Client has the right to a refund, once the amount is returned to the Client, the auto-invoice will be generated and the amount refunded will be discounted from the balance of the Agency's Wallet.

6.4 Booking Management by the Agency.

6.4.1 Booking Management using the Agency Platform.

Having made the reservation, Agencies will receive a confirmation email where the services booked are confirmed. If the customer's e-mail address is included, they will also receive confirmation of the reservation. However, they will not be able to manage the reservation and will have to contact the Agency so they can manage or modify the reservation using the Agency Control Panel.

Any modification or management of the Client's reservation will be the responsibility of the Agency, and will always be carried out on behalf of the Client. Using the Agency Control Panel the Agency will be able to carry out the following actions: (i) general modifications of the reservation, (ii) acceptance of supplement charges for transfers, and (iii) management of refunds in RRP payment.

Agencies can download documentation regarding the contraction of services by CIVITATIS via the Website. In some cases the necessary documentation to take this service will be sent via email to the AGENCY by the provider. If the reservation is cancelled, the conditions in section 7 of these conditions apply, and CIVITATIS will send the relevant rectifying documents to the AGENCY.

6.4.2 Management of Bookings made via the Affiliate Resources of the Affiliate Programme.

If the booking is made using the affiliate resources, the Agency will not be able to manage or modify the booking, they will only be informed of the sale. The Agency will be notified of the reservation via an informative email and will be able to see the sale in the Control Panel, but will not be able to access it via the Reservation Locator, download the Activity Voucher, nor manage or modify it.

6.5 Accounting Documents.

6.5.1 Auto-invoice.

The Agency accepts that CIVITATIS will issue an auto-invoice for the Commission accrued by the Agency.

6.5.2 Requesting an Invoice

Agencies can download the documentation relating to the services booked through CIVITATIS’ website on the Agencies Panel.

CIVITATIS’ PRODUCTS
When the Agency makes a purchase with CIVITATIS, an invoice will be issued to the Agency for the final amount of the service at the time of purchase (final sales price applying the 10% commission). In the event of cancellation of the services purchased by the Agency, the corresponding cancellation invoice will be issued to the Agency.
PRODUCTS FROM PROVIDERS IN NATIONAL TERRITORY (SPAIN)

In the case of Agencies located in Spain (peninsula and Balearic Islands), this commission will include the VAT broken down within the total of the invoice. The Agency will always be responsible for correctly requesting the invoice in its name or in the name of the final Client, depending on the payment method with which the reservation has been made.

6.6 Responsibility for the veracity of the data and the use of payment methods in the Reservations.

The Agency is directly and indirectly responsible for the veracity of the data gathered from the Clients for the booking and the corresponding invoices.

CIVITATIS exonerates itself of any responsibility between the Agency and the final Client regarding bookings made by the Agency using its Client’s payment methods.

12.- PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

To adhere to the CIVITATIS AGENCY programme, the AGENCY must facilitate all data and information relative to the AGENCY or its personnel which are requited by CIVITATIS in the corresponding registration forms (henceforth “AGENCY data”)

12.1 Which company is responsible for the storage of AGENCY data?

ID: CIVITATIS TOURS, S.L.
ID number: B-86899440
Address: C/ Coloreros, 2, 28013 – Madrid (España)
email: dpo@civitatis.com

12.2 Who is the entity's Data Protection Delegate (DPD) and how can he/she help you?

The DPD is a figure, legally foreseen, whose main functions are to inform and advise our entity on the obligations that affect it in terms of personal data protection and to supervise its compliance.

In addition, the DPD acts as a point of contact for any matter relating to the processing of personal data, so if you have any questions, doubts or suggestions regarding how we use your personal data, you can contact him: dpo@civitatis.com.

12.3 For what purposes do we process your personal data?

a. To process your registration as an Agency and manage the requested reservations, as well as the invoicing and collection of the services/commissions. The provision of data for this purpose by the Agencies is mandatory, otherwise preventing the provision of the service agreed through these General Conditions.

b. Sending commercial communications of our products or services by any means of contact provided. By maintaining a contractual relationship with CIVITATIS, we will send you such communications unless you express your will against it by checking the corresponding box at the time of providing your data or, subsequently, by communicating it to us through any means.

In connection with the sending of such communications, based on the information provided, we can develop commercial profiles, to offer products and services that best suit your interests as an Agency.

The processing of your data for this commercial purpose is not mandatory, so if the Agency objects to such processing, you will not receive advertising.

c. Sending surveys in order to assess the services offered and their degree of satisfaction. CIVITATIS may publish the opinions and comments of the Agencies that respond to such survey on its website or social networks, including the identification data of the person who makes the opinion or comment, with the prior authorization of the person concerned. The authorization must be granted at the time of conducting the survey, not being mandatory. If the person responsible for the Agency who makes the opinion or comment does not authorize the use of their personal data to publish them along with their comment or opinion, these will not be published, and the comment or opinion will be published in an anonymous way.

The processing of your data for this purpose is not mandatory for the hiring of the service, not being the recipient of the surveys in the event that the Agency opposes this data processing.

d. Compliance with accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative obligations. This treatment is necessary for CIVITATIS to comply with legal obligations that may arise from the contractual relationship, including the attention of the rights on data protection, not being able to fulfill these obligations otherwise, being, therefore, the delivery of data for this purpose mandatory.

The data will be treated confidentially, also ensuring their security by adopting appropriate security measures required by current legislation.

12.4 For how long will we process your data?

We only keep your data for the period of time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected, to comply with the legal obligations imposed on us and to meet the possible responsibilities that may arise from the fulfillment of the purpose for which the data were collected.

The data for the management of the relationship with the Agencies will be kept for that purpose for as long as the contract is in force. After the end of this relationship, if necessary, the data may be kept for the time required by the applicable legislation and until the expiry of the statute of limitations for any liabilities arising from the contract.

The data processed for the sending of commercial communications of our products or services will be kept indefinitely, until, where appropriate, the Agency expresses its will to delete them or its desire to stop receiving such communications.

The data for the management of the surveys will be kept until the results of the surveys have been concluded and analyzed. In general, the surveys will be anonymous, and the results may be kept anonymously for a longer period of time. By virtue of the above, the opinions expressed by the Agencies will be kept indefinitely, and will be published in the indicated media. In the event that the publication of personal data along with the opinion or comment has been authorized, the affected party may request its removal at any time, in which case, the comment or opinion will remain published in an anonymized form.

Data for the fulfillment of accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative obligations will be retained until they expire in accordance with current regulations.

12.5 What is the legitimacy for the processing of your data?

The legal basis for the processing of your data is the execution of the contract resulting from the acceptance of the general conditions with Agencies: https://www.civitatis.com/en/agencies/.

The prospective offer of products and services to the Agencies is based on the satisfaction of the legitimate business interest consisting of being able to offer them the contracting of other products or services and thus achieve their loyalty. This legitimate interest is recognized by the applicable legal regulations (General Data Protection Regulation), which expressly permits the processing of personal data on this legal basis for direct marketing purposes. However, the Agency has the right to object to this processing of your data, being able to do so by any of the means provided for in this clause.

The basis of the processing for the fulfillment of accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative obligations is the fulfillment of the legal obligation imposed by the regulations in force for these purposes.

The treatment consisting in the remission of satisfaction surveys has as a legitimate basis the legitimate interest, since it is pursued to verify and improve the quality of the treatment received, as well as the products and/or services of CIVITATIS, allowing CIVITATIS to continue with its economic activity and to improve and grow in the sector, being considered this interest prevalent since:

Agencies working with CIVITATIS are to be referred.
For this purpose, only one contact e-mail address will be used to send the survey.
The means chosen (sending e-mail) is the most suitable and the least intrusive to the privacy of the recipients.
However, we remind you that you have the right to object to this processing of your data by any of the means provided for in this clause. In any case, the publication of opinions and comments identifying the natural person is based on consent, which may be revoked at any time, being able to communicate it to us by any means indicated in this clause. In this case, the opinion or comment will remain anonymous. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the execution of the contract, if applicable, but the processing of data for this purpose previously carried out will not lose its lawfulness by the fact that the consent has been revoked.

12.6 To which recipients will your data be communicated?

The data will be communicated to the following entities:

a. The competent Public Administrations, including judges and courts, in the cases provided for in the Law and for the purposes defined therein.

b. The financial entities through which the management of collections and payments is articulated.

c. To the companies/operators in charge of providing the contracted service (excursion, cruises, experience, etc.). This assignment is necessary for the service to be provided. In the "Details" section of the requested service, the identification of the operator shall be included.

d. If the user authorizes us, their opinions and comments may be published on the website and social networks of the entity. This publication is considered a transfer of personal data to the extent that such data is accessible to third parties.

Although it is not a transfer of data, it may be that third-party companies, acting as our suppliers, access your information to carry out the service. These third parties access your data following our instructions and without being able to use it for a different purpose and maintaining the strictest confidentiality and on the basis of a contract in which they undertake to comply with the requirements of the current regulations on the protection of personal data.

12.7 Are there any international data transfers?

International data transfers may occur in the following cases:

In the event that the Agency has contracted a service with an operator located outside the European Economic Area. In this case, since the communication of your data to this is necessary for the provision of the service, such transfer will occur, although it is covered by Article 49.1 b) of the General Data Protection Regulation: the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
CIVITATIS contracts its virtual infrastructure for the storage of its database according to a "cloud computing" model through Google Drive, the information being stored in the USA, under the Data Privacy Framework - Information available at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
The opinions and comments that, where appropriate, CIVITATIS publishes on its social networks (e.g. Instagram, Facebook) will be stored on these platforms, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., so your data will be transferred to the U.S. In any case, this entity offers adequate guarantees of data protection to be adhered to the Data Privacy Framework. For more information, you can consult the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
CIVITATIS uses the Sengrid platform to send communications to the Agencies. The use of this platform, owned by Twilio, implies international data transfers to the USA. However, this entity offers adequate data protection guarantees as it has signed the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (STC). More information can be found at https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/privacy, as well as a copy of the content of the STCs in Annex 3 of the following link https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/data-protection-addendum.

12.8 What are your rights when you provide us with your data?

Any person has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal data concerning him/her. Interested parties have the right to access their personal data, as well as to request the rectification of inaccurate data or, where appropriate, to request its deletion when, among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Under the conditions provided for in the General Data Protection Regulation, interested parties may request the limitation of the processing of their data or their portability, in which case we will only keep them for the exercise or defense of claims.

In certain circumstances and for reasons related to their particular situation, data subjects may object to the processing of their data. If you have given consent for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent prior to its withdrawal. In these cases, we will stop processing the data or, as the case may be, we will stop processing it for that specific purpose, except for compelling legitimate reasons, or the exercise or defense of possible claims.

In addition, data protection regulations allow you to object to being subject to decisions based solely on automated processing of your data, where appropriate.

The aforementioned rights are characterized by the following:

Their exercise is free of charge, except in the case of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests (e.g., repetitive nature), in which case a fee may be charged in proportion to the administrative costs incurred or refusal to act
You may exercise the rights directly or through your legal representative or volunteer
Your request must be responded to within one month, although, taking into account the complexity and number of requests, the deadline may be extended by a further two months.
We have the obligation to inform you about the means to exercise these rights, which must be accessible and without being able to deny you the exercise of the right for the sole reason of choosing another means. If the request is submitted electronically, the information will be provided electronically whenever possible, unless you ask us to do otherwise.
If, for whatever reason, the request is not acted upon, we will inform you within one month of the reasons for this and of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority.

In order to facilitate the exercise of the aforementioned rights, we provide below the links to the application form for each of them. As these forms are official Spanish government documents, they have not been translated into English and remain in their original form:

All of the above-mentioned rights can be exercised through the contact methods listed at the beginning of this clause.

Faced with any violation of your rights, especially when you have not obtained satisfaction in its exercise, you can file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (contact details accessible at www.aepd.es), or other competent supervisory authority. You can also obtain more information about your rights by contacting these organizations.

12.9 How do we protect your personal data?

We are firmly committed to protecting the personal data we process. We use reasonably reliable and effective physical, organizational and technological measures, controls and procedures aimed at preserving the integrity and security of your data and ensuring your privacy.

In addition, all personnel with access to personal data have been trained and are aware of their obligations in relation to the processing of your personal data.

In the case of the contracts we sign with our suppliers, we include clauses in which they are required to maintain the duty of secrecy regarding the personal data to which they have had access by virtue of the order made, as well as to implement the necessary technical and organizational security measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and permanent resilience of the systems and services for the processing of personal data.

All these security measures are reviewed periodically to ensure their adequacy and effectiveness.

However, absolute security cannot be guaranteed and there is no security system that is impenetrable so, in the event that any information under our control and under our control is compromised as a result of a security breach, we will take appropriate measures to investigate the incident, notify the Control Authority and, where appropriate, those users who may have been affected to take appropriate action.

12.10 What is your responsibility as data owner?

By providing us with personal data, the person who does so guarantees that he/she is over 14 years of age and that the data provided are true, accurate, complete and up to date.

For these purposes, the person concerned is responsible for the veracity of the data and must keep them conveniently updated so that they respond to their real situation, taking responsibility for false and inaccurate data that could provide, as well as damages, direct or indirect, that may arise.

If you provide data of third parties, you assume the responsibility to inform them in advance of all the provisions of Article 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation under the conditions set forth in that precept.

By virtue of the above, in the case of a group of Agencies, it will be the one that must send all the information about the Agencies directly to CIVITATIS to process their registration in the Agencies program, and the group of Agencies must inform each Agency about the processing and transfer of their personal data, in accordance with what is indicated in the previous paragraph.
