The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. MA·ARQ Architectural Studio undertakes to obtain the express and verifiable consent of the User for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The User will have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, the withdrawal of consent will not condition the use of the Website.

On occasions when the User must or can provide their data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed in case filling in any of them is mandatory because they are essential for the proper development of the operation carried out.

Purposes of the processing for which personal data are intended

Personal data is collected and managed by MA·ARQ Architectural Studio for the purpose of facilitating, expediting, and fulfilling the commitments established between the Website and the User or maintaining the relationship established in the forms that the latter fills out or to address a request or inquiry.

Likewise, the data may be used for a commercial purpose of personalization, operation, and statistics, as well as activities related to the corporate purpose of MA·ARQ Architectural Studio, as well as for data extraction, storage, and marketing studies to adapt the Content offered to the User, as well as improve the quality, operation, and navigation of the Website.

If the person is under 14 years of age, the consent of the parents or guardians will be required for the processing, and it will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorized it.

Secrecy and Security of Personal Data

MA·ARQ Architectural Studio undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent its destruction, loss, or accidental or unlawful alteration, or unauthorized communication or access to such data.

The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, ensuring that personal data is transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User, and in feedback, is fully encrypted.

However, since MA·ARQ Architectural Studio cannot guarantee the invulnerability of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to inform the User without undue delay when a personal data security breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. According to Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data security breach is understood as any breach of security that results in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and ensure, through a legal or contractual obligation, that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and anyone to whom it makes the information accessible.

Rights Arising from the Processing of Personal Data

The User has the following rights recognized in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights:

In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller, taking into account the available technology and the cost of its implementation, must take reasonable measures to inform other data controllers processing the personal data of the data subject’s request for deletion of any links to that personal data.

Right to restriction of processing: The User has the right to limit the processing of their personal data. The User has the right to obtain the restriction of processing when they challenge the accuracy of their personal data; the processing is unlawful; the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data, but the User needs it to make claims; and when the User has objected to the processing.
