  2. Why do we process data and what is the legal basis for that processing?

    Elespacio processes data for the following purposes:

    (a)    To respond to any inquiry you have made (e.g. as a potential client, candidate, or other web user interested in our business): the legal basis for this processing is consent – you have freely and voluntarily provided your data to us and we will use it for the purpose it was provided.

    (b)    To manage our relationship with you as a current client or supplier including invoicing for our services or paying your invoices: the legal basis for this is that this is necessary for the performance of the contract between our organisations or for our legitimate interests in providing our services and managing our business.

    (c)    To manage our relationship with you as a potential client or supplier: the legal basis for this is that this is necessary for our legitimate business interests, i.e. developing our business, investigating new opportunities, or ensuring that we obtain suitable and cost-effective products and services for our business. Please note that if you are an employee or consultant working with us then different data processing rules may apply – please contact your manager or usual contact at Elespacio.

    (d)    To provide services to our clients: sometimes, in order to provide our advertising and communications related services, we may handle personal data of our clients’ current or potential customers (e.g. in order to manage an email or web marketing campaign). We do this as a data processor, on the instructions of our clients, who are the “controllers” of this data. We keep this data secure in accordance with their instructions and this Notice. The legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary in order to perform our contracts with our clients. Normally you should contact the relevant client and review their privacy information in order to understand how they use your data. If you ask us about exercising your legal rights referred to in Section 7 below, then we may need to pass your request onto the client as we may not be in a position to take all the required action ourselves.

    (e)    To provide content or information, which may include newsletters or marketing information: the legal basis for this is that that you have consented to receive such information or as a current or former client we are permitted by law to keep you informed in this way.

    (f)    To improve and manage our website: e.g. we may record your IP address together with the date, time and duration of your visit. The legal basis for is that it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, i.e. to improve our services and communications. Please see the section on “Cookies and Website” below.

  3. Do we provide your data to any third parties?

    We do not provide your data to third parties, except:

    (a)    where we use a data processor to carry out certain processing activities on our behalf (e.g. a subscriptions manager for our mailing list, a hosting provider who stores data for us, technology platforms that measure clicks, page views, or site visits in order to manage our campaigns, or our accounting, tax or legal advisers). We do this on the basis of written contracts that require them to keep your data secure;

    (b)    to our clients where they are the “data controller” and we are merely processing data on their behalf; or

    (c)    if required to do so by a public administration or by law.

    These are normally based in countries within the European Union, the United Kingdom, and EEA or other places officially recognised by the European Commission as having similar data protection laws. If not, this will be done only on the basis of safeguards that require that your data is kept as secure as under EU laws. These may include standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission or national supervisory authorities, and you may contact us as indicated above for a copy of such safeguards.

  4. How long do we keep data?

    Your data will be stored by Elespacio for as long as is reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose for which it was provided (e.g. for at least as long as you are a client or supplier, or your subscription to a newsletter is still live). Sometimes we may need to keep it longer in order to comply with applicable laws such as accounting or tax laws (usually 6 years), or where there is a possibility of a legal claim (usually 5 years). Where data is used for marketing or business development, we regularly review our databases to ensure that the data is still relevant. At the end of campaigns, our contracts with our clients require us to promptly destroy or pass all relevant data back to them.
