Thus, the digital or paper personal data collection form(s), whether completed in the physical premises of the GRUPO DE PRADO or on the website(s), (which require encrypted browser sessions) or with any of the GRUPO DE PRADO staff, are stored securely in our physical repositories and digital systems.

All personal data you provide us with is stored in a GRUPO DE PRADO Data Centre, or a subcontractor, under the cover of all the advanced physical and logistical security measures, which we consider essential for the protection of your personal data.

Whenever, in the legitimate and lawful pursuit of the objectives of the activity of the GRUPO DE PRADO, the latter adopts measures to monitor its employees, particularly with regard to access control, working hours, tasks and productivity, movement and transport, not only shall those concerned have prior knowledge of the respective implementation – being, whenever legally necessary and lawful, requested to give their consent – but the tools used for the purpose shall ensure the same level of security of personal data collected and processed by them.

12. Communication of data to other entities, subcontractors or third parties:

GRUPO DE PRADO may use subcontractors to collect and process data for the same purposes as the former, obtaining from these entities, by contract, a guarantee of reputation and the obligation to develop the appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data and ensure the defence of the rights of the data subjects. Under certain circumstances determined by law, certain personal data may have to be communicated to public authorities, such as tax authorities, courts and security forces.

Accordingly, any such subcontracted entities shall process our customers’ personal data in the name and on behalf of the GRUPO DE PRADO, under the obligation to adopt the technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk in order to protect personal data against destruction, accidental or unlawful, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access and against any other form of unlawful processing.
