Privacy Policy of Web Sites and Applications belonging to METALOGENIA, S.A.

2.1. Treatment of personal information provided through the Sites


Pursuant to the stipulations of the law in force relating to personal data protection, by means of this privacy policy (herein after, “Privacy Policy”>), MTG hereby informs the users of the Site that the data provided to MTG when filling in any of the forms included in the Site (including any potential registration forms) in addition to any other data the user might provide in the context of any relationship it may come to enter into with MTG or in relation to carrying out any queries to MTG, will be included in a file for which MTG is responsible and whose purpose is to allow access to the Site’s content, and wherever appropriate, to manage the contractual relationship MTG has with the user, in addition to providing answers to any queries that may arise. The legal basis for the treatment of this data is the fulfilment and development of the contractual relationship entered into with the user.


2.2. Veracity and adaptation of the data


The only personal data to which MTG will have access through the Site will be that provided by the user voluntarily, and it will be treated in line with the applicable regulations. All the fields marked with an asterisk (*) in the corresponding forms are compulsory, in such a way that the omission of any one of these may result in not being able to attend to the user's request.

In order that the information supplied is always updated and does not contain errors, the user must inform of any modifications or rectifications to their personal data that may take place as swiftly as possible The user is responsible for the veracity and exactness of the personal data provided, and MTG reserves the right to exclude any user providing false data from the services registered for, without prejudice to any other actions that might apply pursuant to the Law. Under no circumstances will the user register data belonging to third parties in the Site.


2.3. Commercial communications and/or Newsletters


MTG hereby informs users that they may request their consent for sending commercial communications and/or newsletters by means of the different data gathering forms. If express consent is provided, for which the correct box must be ticked in the data collection forms, MTG might contact the user through ordinary post, email, SMS or any other equivalent communication channel for the purposes of sending them newsletters and/or commercial information about products, events and/or services offered by MTG and/or its partners and that might be of their interest, in addition to news items and promotional materials that MTG and/or its partners might consider of their interest.

Users are not obliged to receive this information after ticking the correct box in the form or otherwise (as the case may be) or by means of later communications, as if at any time, they do not wish to continue receiving information of this nature, consent may be revoked by sending written communication to the following address: Carrer d’Àvila 45, 08005 Barcelona, or by sending an email to: [email protected], we ask that you provide an electronic copy of an ID document, which will allow for the verification of your identity. The legal basis for the treatment of this data is the consent granted by the user, stated by ticking the correct box in the Site’s data collection forms.


2.4. Data transfers


MTG will not transfer any personal data belonging to the user to any third parties without their prior consent, unless said transfer is legally requested and/or necessary for the maintenance of the relationship with the user, in which case, the use of the personal data by the third party will be restricted to the end for which it was collected.

In any event, when the transfer is not necessary for the provision of the service at hand, MTG's data gathering forms will be used to inform the user of the purpose of the treatment of said data, as well as of the identity and activity sectors of the possible transferees of this data, and the user will further be offered the possibility of accepting this transfer or not. In this case, the legal basis behind said treatment will be the user’s consent. Similarly, we would like to inform you that MTG will grant access to the user’s data, and, whenever appropriate, to that of their legal representative, to MTG service providers (“maintenance managers”) established both within the European Economic Area and other countries, some of which might not provide a level of protection that is comparable to that of Europe (said international transfer has adequate transferring guarantees, and a copy of these may be requested from MTG).


2.5. Cookies


Like with other Internet portals, the Sites may make use of a technology called “cookies” to compile information on how the Sites are used. If you would like more detailed information about how MTG uses cookies, please refer to the Cookies Policy.

Access to the Sites may imply the use of cookies. Cookies are small fragments of information that are stored on the user’s browser, and that are remembered by the Sites’ server, the intention being to improve the speed of its services. The Cookies on the Sites are unable to allow access to the user’s telephone number, email address or any other communication system belonging to the user. The cookies on the Sites may not extract information from the user’s hard disk or store personal data. The cookies on the Sites are generated exclusively from the information users provide the server with. Users may modify the cookies’ settings through their browser settings. Nevertheless, in the event users opt for changing the default settings, the quality and/or speed of the Sites might worsen.


2.6. Safety measures


Pursuant to the law in force, MTG would like to inform users that any necessary technical/organisational safety measures that guarantee the safety of your personal data and impede its alteration, loss, processing and/or unauthorised access are implemented taking into account the technological status, nature of the data stored and the risks to which they are exposed, whether said risks come from human input or the physical or natural environment.

However, the transmission of information through the Internet is not entirely secure; therefore, and despite MTG putting much effort into protecting the users’ data, MTG is unable to guarantee the data’s safety during transfer throughout the Web. Users provide their information at their own peril. Once the data from the users has been received, MTG will use rigorous procedures and safety features to impede any unauthorised access.


2.7. Confidentiality


Any personal data that MTG might gather from the Sites or by means of the different communications they may maintain with the users will be processed exercising the utmost confidentiality; MTG further commits to refrain from divulging them, guaranteeing their right of safekeeping by adopting the necessary steps to avoid their alteration, loss, processing or unauthorised access, pursuant to what is established in the applicable Laws.


2.8. User registration and password


Additionally, MTG hereby informs the users that upon registering in the pertinent section of the Sites, a username and password will be assigned to them, which will allow them to start a session at any time as a “Registered User”, and to access the features of the corresponding section. It is of the utmost importance that users store their passwords in a safe location. Users will be solely responsible for the use, whether authorised or otherwise, of their personal account, and commit to diligently utilise said information, as well as to avoid placing it at the disposal of third-parties, in addition to communicating it in the event of loss or theft.


2.9. Storage periods


The personal data provided to MTG by the user through the different Sites will be stored for as long as needed in keeping with the purpose that prompted its gathering (among others, whilst registered as a user of the corresponding Site, or while a reply to the user’s query has not been given). Once the purpose that prompted the gathering of data has been fulfilled, the user’s personal data will be stored in a blocked format (that is to say, they will only be accessible by judges, courts of law, the Inland Revenue or the corresponding Public Administration bodies) during the applicable legal expiry periods. Once the corresponding storage periods have elapsed, the data will be eliminated.


2.10. User rights


Users may revoke the consent given and exercise their rights of access, rectification, suppression, opposition and limitation in regard to the treatment or transfer by writing to the address displayed at the header of these General Terms of Access and Use by conventional mail, in person (carrer d’Àvila, 45, 08005, Barcelona), or by sending an email ([email protected]) stating the user’s full name, providing a copy of the National ID document or an equivalent document that might attest to their identity, and visibly stating the specific right exercised. Similarly, users retain the right to present a complaint before the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
