On joining the CIVITATIS accommodation programme, the Accommodation shall provide the data and information relating to the Accommodation that are required by CIVITATIS in order to formalise the contractual relationship. In accordance with the above, the Affiliate is informed about how their personal data is treated, how their privacy is protected and the information they provide to CIVITATIS, in the form of questions and answers, is protected.

Who is responsible for the processing of your data?

  • Entity: Civitatis Tours, S.L.
  • NIF: B-86899440
  • Postal address: C/ Coloreros, 28013 - Madrid.
  • E-mail address: dpo@civitatis.com

Who is the entity's Data Protection Delegate (DPD) and how can they 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 them at: dpo@civitatis.com.

For what purposes do we process your personal data?

a. To manage your application to join the CIVITATIS Accommodation programme, as well as the contractual relationship maintained between the parties in the event of acceptance of your application, invoicing and payment of services. To this end, it is necessary for the Accomodation to provide us with their personal information, otherwise their application and the contractual relationship cannot be executed.

b. To send commercial communications about our products or services. In relation to the sending of the aforementioned communications, based on the information provided, we may draw up commercial profiles, in order to offer the products and services that best suit the interests of the Accomodation. The processing of your data for this commercial purpose is not obligatory, therefore, if you object to such processing, you'll not receive any advertising.

c. Compliance with accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative obligations. This processing is necessary for CIVITATIS to comply with the legal obligations that may derive from the contractual relationship that has been established, including the fulfilment of data protection rights; otherwise, these obligations cannot be fulfilled and, therefore, the provision of the data for this purpose is obligatory.

The data will be treated confidentially, guaranteeing its security by adopting the appropriate security measures required by current legislation.

For how long will we process your data?

We only keep your data for the period of time necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, to comply with the legal obligations and to cover any possible liabilities that may arise in relation to the purpose for which the data was collected.

In the event that CIVITATIS does not accept the Accomodation's application for registration, the data will be kept for a maximum period of one year, for the purpose of being able to detect during this period if a previously rejected Affiliate tries to apply for registration again.

In the event that the Accomodation is accepted by CIVITATIS and begins to work with the entity, his/her data will be kept for as long as the contract is in force (Accomodation Programme General Conditions). Once this relationship has ended, if applicable, the data may be kept for the time required by the applicable legislation and until any liabilities arising from the contractual relationship expire.

The data processed for sending commercial communications about our products or services will be kept indefinitely, until, where appropriate, the Accomodation requests to stop receiving such communications.

Data for the fulfilment of accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative obligations will be retained until the statute of limitations expires in accordance with current legislation.

What is the legal basis for the processing of your data?

The legal basis for the processing of your data in connection with your application for Accomodation programme is the adoption of pre-contractual measures aimed at assessing your application. In the event that CIVITATIS accepts the application, the Accomodation's data will be processed on the basis of the execution of the contractual relationship, arising as a consequence of these General Terms and Conditions, as well as the fulfilment of a legal obligation, with respect to the fulfilment of accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative obligations arising from the contractual relationship.

The prospective offer of products and services to Accomodations is based on the satisfaction of the legitimate business interest in keeping them informed of the products and services offered by CIVITATIS. This legitimate interest is recognised 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 Accommodation has the right to object to this processing of his or her data and may do so by any of the means provided for in this clause.

The types of data processed from Accomodations are those reflected in the on-line registration application form.

To which entities 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 instances foreseen in the Law and for the purposes defined therein.

b. Financial institutions through which the management of collections and payments is carried out.

Although not a transfer of data, third party companies, acting as our suppliers, may access your information in order to carry out their services. These third parties access your data under our direction and they may not use it for any other purpose, maintaining the strictest confidentiality and on the basis of a contract in which they undertake to comply with the requirements of the current legislation on personal data protection.

Do international data transfers take place?

International data transfers may occur in the following cases:

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 their personal data. Relevant persons 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, data subjects may request the limitation of the processing of their data or their portability, in which case we will only retain them for the purpose of exercising or defending claims.

In certain circumstances and on grounds relating 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 such 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 defence of possible claims.

Furthermore, data protection law allows you to object to being subject to decisions based solely on automated processing of your data, where appropriate.

These rights are characterised by the following:

  • They may be exercised free of charge, except in the case of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests (e.g. repetitive nature), in which case you may be charged a fee proportional to the administrative costs incurred or refuse to act.
  • You may exercise your 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 are obliged to inform you about the means of exercising these rights, which must be accessible and without being able to refuse you the exercise of the right on the sole ground that you choose another means. If the request is made by electronic means, the information will be provided by electronic means where possible, unless you ask us to do otherwise.
  • If, for whatever reason, the request is not complied with, we will inform you of the reasons for this and of the possibility to complain to a supervisory authority within one month at the latest.

In order to facilitate the exercise of the aforementioned rights, we provide below links to the application form for each of them:

All the aforementioned rights may be exercised through the means of contact listed at the beginning of this clause.

In the event of any breach of your rights, in particular where you have not obtained satisfaction in exercising your rights, you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (contact details available at www.aepd.es), or other competent supervisory authority.

How do we protect your personal data?

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

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

In relation to the contracts we sign with our providers, we include clauses requiring them to maintain the duty of confidentiality with respect to the personal data to which they have had access by virtue of the contract, as well as to implement the necessary technical and organisational security measures to guarantee the permanent confidentiality, integrity, availability and 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 no security system 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 steps to investigate the incident, notify the Supervisory Authority and, where appropriate, those users who may have been affected to take appropriate action.

What is your responsibility as the owner of the data?

The Accomodation is responsible for the accuracy of the data and must keep them suitably updated so that they reflect their actual situation, and is liable for any false or inaccurate data that may be provided, as well as for any damages, direct or indirect, that may arise.

13.- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

13.1 Intellectual and Industrial Property relating to the Website owned by CIVITATIS.

All rights over the content, design and source code of this Website, the Agency Platform and, in particular, including but not limited to, all rights over the photographs, images, texts, logos, designs, trademarks, trade names, data included on the Website and any other intellectual and industrial property rights are owned by CIVITATIS, or by third parties who have expressly authorised CIVITATIS to use them on the Website.

Therefore, and by virtue of the provisions of Royal Legislative Decree 1/1996, of 12 April, which approves the revised text of the Intellectual Property Law, regularising, clarifying and harmonising the legal provisions in force on the subject (hereinafter, "Intellectual Property Law"), as well as in Law 17/2001, of 7 December, on Trademarks and complementary legislation on intellectual and industrial property, it is expressly forbidden to reproduce, transmit, adapt, translate, distribute, publicly communicate, including making available, all or part of the contents of the Website, in any medium and by any technical means, unless expressly authorised in writing by CIVITATIS.

CIVITATIS does not grant any licence or authorisation of use of any kind over its intellectual and industrial property rights or over any other property or right related to the Website, and in no case shall it be understood that access and browsing by the Agencies implies a waiver, transmission, licence or total or partial transfer of said rights by CIVITATIS.

Any use of these contents not previously authorised by the Agency shall be considered a serious breach of intellectual or industrial property rights and shall give rise to the legally established responsibilities on the part of the Agency.

13.2 Intellectual Property relating to the opinions of the Agencies published on the Website.

CIVITATIS owns or is licensed to use all Intellectual Property Rights and other rights related to the CIVITATIS Affiliate Platform. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Agency does not acquire any rights or licences other than the right to install and/or integrate the tools, links, banners, widgets or any other resources provided by CIVITATIS on the linked websites.

13.3 Intellectual Property relating to the opinions of the Agencies published on the Website.

As the Website allows the publication of opinions, the Agencies grant CIVITATIS a universal, unrestricted and free licence for the use, distribution, public communication, adaptation and reproduction of such opinions. By means of the aforementioned licence, CIVITATIS may transform, adapt and, in short, use the opinions of the Agencies for advertising and promotional purposes on the websites and social networks owned by CIVITATIS.

14.- CONFIDENTIALITY AND TRANSFER OF RIGHTS

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, "Confidential Information" means all information of whatever nature (whether oral, written or otherwise) relating to or provided by each of the Parties in connection with the provision of the Services under these Terms and Conditions, which may only be used by the Parties for such purpose, including its technologies, technologies developed or marketed by it, manuals, software (source code and object code), databases (whether original and/or sui generis), business plans, marketing plans, know-how, technological and IT resources and tools such as, but not limited to, Affiliate Links, banners and widgets, customer or supplier lists, financial information, pricing policies, advertising campaigns, trademarks, any piece of information marked as "confidential", trade secrets, or, in general, any other document, data or information that can reasonably be qualified as confidential. Neither Party shall disclose to any third party either directly or through any third party without the prior written consent of the other, any information it receives from the other Party in connection with these General Terms and Conditions with Agencies.

This limitation shall apply indefinitely and shall remain in force after the termination, for any reason, of the commercial relationship between the Agency and CIVITATIS, from the communication of the information, regardless of the duration of these General Terms and Conditions. Both Parties agree that any confidential information received from the other party must be used for the sole purpose of providing or receiving services under these General Conditions. The above restrictions shall not apply to any information:

i. which is or becomes generally available to the public for any reason other than breach of an obligation under this provision; or

ii. which is obtained from a third party who is not bound by a duty of confidentiality in relation to the information; or

iii. which was previously known to him; or

iv. the disclosure of which by the recipient is required by law.

Furthermore, disclosure of confidential information pursuant to a judicial or administrative order shall not be subject to the obligation of confidentiality provided that the party receiving the order informs the other party in writing in advance of the obligation to disclose such information.

After the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the Parties shall return the confidential information received or certify that it has been destroyed.

The obligation of confidentiality provided for in this Clause shall remain in force for both Parties on a continuing basis.

The Agency may not assign its position in the General Terms and Conditions with Agencies without having obtained the prior written consent of CIVITATIS.

CIVITATIS reserves the right to assign its position as well as any rights or obligations arising therefrom in its favour or at its expense. CIVITATIS shall notify the Agency of the assignment at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance.

15.- AMENDMENTS

The Accommodation acknowledges that, given the nature of the commercial relationship and the Services offered by CIVITATIS, it is possible that these General Conditions may be subject to modification.

CIVITATIS reserves the right to make as many modifications as it deems appropriate to these General Conditions with Accommodations, in which case it will notify the Accommodation indicating the modifications and how they affect these General Conditions.

Modifications to these General Terms and Conditions shall be considered valid from the moment they are published on the Website.

The modifications will be applied immediately, if this is imperative due to the nature of the commercial relationship between the Accommodation and CIVITATIS and/or the nature of the Services affected.

16.- SAFEGUARD CLAUSE

All clauses or terms of these General Conditions with Accommodation must be interpreted independently and autonomously, and the rest of the stipulations will not be affected if one of them has been declared null and void by a court ruling or final arbitration decision. The affected clause or clauses shall be replaced by another or others that preserve the effects pursued by the General Conditions with Accommodation.

17.- LEGISLATION AND JURISDICTION

These General Conditions with Accommodation shall be governed by Spanish law. For the resolution of any discrepancy, question or claim derived directly or indirectly from the interpretation or execution of these General Conditions, CIVITATIS and the Accommodation expressly submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid.
