Legitimate bases for our processing of personal data

The Company processes your personal data for various purposes. Each processing of personal data must be based on a legitimate basis, among those provided for in the regulations. The Group companies use the following bases:

  • Consent: You have given your unequivocal and specific consent to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g. subscription to the sending of content).
  • Legal obligation: The law requires them to be processed and sometimes transferred to certain institutions (e.g. State Security Forces and Corps).
  • Legitimate interest of the Company, provided that its interests, rights or freedoms do not prevail over such interests.

A.- Consent

The Company sometimes collects your personal data with your prior and unequivocal consent. For example, when you request the sending of our contents to your email. For example, to manage your comments and respond to any queries or suggestions made through the form itself. Consequence of failure to provide data The data (and consents) that we request are necessary for the treatments and purposes indicated, so that the omission of any of them will prevent us from executing the aforementioned purpose. The acceptance of these treatments is absolutely voluntary and your refusal will not entail any negative consequence for you.

 B.- Legal obligation

The Company is obliged in some cases, by virtue of different legal regulations (regardless of whether or not you give your consent), to process and/or transfer certain personal data to different entities.

 C.- The Company’s Legitimate Interest

In addition to the above assumptions (legal obligation, consent), there are a number of reasons that allow us to use your personal data. This legal basis for processing is “legitimate interest”. Generally speaking, the legal basis of “legitimate interest” means that we may process your personal data if we have a real and legitimate interest in doing so and our processing does not prejudice your rights and interests (indeed, in many cases, as we will see, our interests and yours are aligned, i.e., they coincide in whole or in part).

Examples of our legitimate interests and the processing we conduct based on those interests:

We refer to personal data that you have provided to us directly, or that we have observed or collected in the course of our dealings or interaction with you.

The potential impact on you and your rights and interests has been carefully assessed by the company and, where deemed necessary, we have implemented specific protective measures to mitigate such impact on your person and interests. For example, we will store your IP address as a preventive measure and to protect our computer security on the website. For example, based on our legitimate interest in offering you new services, we may send you commercial communications related to services or content similar to those you have already requested. This legitimate interest is recognized in art. 21.2 of the Law of Services of the Information Society.

For example, our legitimate interest in ensuring that information of interest and value to LLYC shareholders is effectively forwarded to those individuals who hold such status, thereby mitigating the risk of identity theft.
