Protection of personal data under the GDPR

In accordance with the applicable data protection rules, Sandra Aertken informs you that personal data collected through the website www.abogadosaertken.com is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) and the Spanish Data Protection Act (Ley Orgánica 3/2018 of 5 December, LOPDGDD).

Personal data is collected and processed to maintain the professional relationship and to provide information, advice and the other activities of Sandra Aertken's practice.

Sandra Aertken takes the measures needed to ensure the security, integrity and confidentiality of the data. All information received in connection with an enquiry or an engagement is subject to professional secrecy.

The user states that all data provided is true and correct and undertakes to keep it up to date by notifying Sandra Aertken of any changes.

What do we use your personal data for?

Sandra Aertken processes your personal data for the following purposes:

• to provide the information you request through the contact form, by email, phone or WhatsApp;
• to provide legal services according to the particular needs of clients and to carry out the engagements;
• to comply with the practice's legal, tax and accounting obligations, including anti-money-laundering obligations (Spanish Act 10/2010).

You can object to receiving commercial communications at any time and by any means by sending an email to info@abogadosaertken.com.

The fields marked as required in the form are needed to handle your enquiry; the phone number is optional.

How long is personal data kept?

Personal data is kept for as long as the professional relationship lasts or until you request its erasure, and for the period during which legal liability may arise from the services provided.

Legal basis

Your data is processed on the following legal bases:

• your request for information and/or your engagement of Sandra Aertken's services, whose terms will always be made available to you before any engagement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR);
• your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent: after reading this privacy policy you can accept it by a statement or a clear affirmative action, such as ticking the box provided (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time; this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
• compliance with legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

If you do not provide your data, or provide it incorrectly or incompletely, we will not be able to handle your request, provide the information requested or carry out an engagement.

Recipients

Data will not be disclosed to any third party outside Sandra Aertken's practice unless required by law. If an engagement requires other professionals (notaries, tax advisers, translators), only the necessary data will be shared, and only with your prior knowledge.

To provide the service, Sandra Aertken uses the following data processors, under contracts that protect the data:

• Vercel Inc.: website hosting and sending of the contact form. The website is served from data centres in the European Union, and the form function runs in Frankfurt, Germany.
• STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany: email.

If you write on WhatsApp, that service is provided by WhatsApp Ireland Ltd. (Meta group) under its own privacy policy.

Where data is processed

Data is processed on servers located in the European Union. Vercel Inc. is based in the USA; should any access to or transfer of data outside the European Economic Area occur, it is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses included in Vercel's data processing agreement.

Audience measurement

To understand how the website is used, Sandra Aertken uses the visitor statistics service "Vercel Web Analytics" provided by the hosting provider Vercel Inc. No cookies are set and no information is stored in your browser's storage.

The data recorded is the page visited, the referring page (referrer), the time, the approximate location (country, region, city) and the device type, operating system and browser. In addition, we count whether a contact option is clicked (phone, WhatsApp, email) and whether the contact form was sent successfully, in each case only with the language and the page, without the content of the form.

To tell visits apart, Vercel creates a hash value from the incoming request, which is automatically discarded after 24 hours. The data is only analysed in aggregated form and is not linked to you or to your IP address.

The legal basis is the legitimate interest in improving the website and understanding how it is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can object at any time by emailing info@abogadosaertken.com. For where data is processed, see the previous section.

Your rights

You may at any time exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and data portability, and withdraw your consent. Simply email info@abogadosaertken.com or write to: Pasaje Santa Catalina de Siena, 4, Entl. 1 C, 07002 Palma (Balearic Islands), Spain.

If you believe your rights have not been properly respected, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency, Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es), or with the supervisory authority in your country of residence.

Data collected by users of the services

Where a user places files containing personal data on shared hosting servers, Sandra Aertken is not responsible for any breach of the GDPR by that user.

The user acquires no right or licence through the contracted service to the software needed to provide the service or to the technical information used to monitor the service, except for the rights and licences needed to perform the contracted services and only for their duration.

Any action beyond the performance of the contract requires Sandra Aertken's written authorisation. The user is prohibited from accessing, modifying or viewing the configuration, structure and files of the servers owned by Sandra Aertken, and bears civil and criminal liability for any incident affecting the servers and security systems that results directly from negligent or malicious conduct on their part.

Intellectual property in hosted content

Any use of the services provided by Sandra Aertken that breaches intellectual property law is prohibited, in particular:

• any use contrary to Spanish law or that infringes the rights of third parties;
• publishing or transmitting any content that, in Sandra Aertken's judgement, is violent, obscene, abusive, unlawful, racist, xenophobic or defamatory;

The user shall indemnify Sandra Aertken for any costs arising if Sandra Aertken is involved in proceedings for which the user is responsible, including legal fees and defence costs, even in the case of a non-final court decision.

Protection of hosted information

Sandra Aertken makes backup copies of the content stored on its servers but is not responsible for the loss or accidental deletion of data by users. Nor does it guarantee the full restoration of data deleted by users, as such data may have been deleted and/or modified since the last backup.

Except for specific backup services, the services offered do not include restoring content kept in Sandra Aertken's backups where the loss is attributable to the user; in that case a fee will be set according to the complexity and volume of the recovery, always subject to the user's prior acceptance.

Restoring deleted data is only included in the price of the service when the loss of content is due to causes attributable to Sandra Aertken.

Commercial communications

Under the Spanish Information Society Services Act (LSSI), Sandra Aertken will not send advertising or promotional communications by email or any equivalent electronic means unless previously requested or expressly authorised by the recipients.

For users with whom there is a prior contractual relationship, Sandra Aertken may send commercial communications about its own services that are similar to those originally contracted by the client.

In any case, the user may, after proving their identity, ask to receive no further commercial information by writing to info@abogadosaertken.com.
