In the case of a minor under the age of 14, parental or guardian consent is required for the processing, and the processing will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have given their permission.

Secrecy and security of personal data

Laura Mellado undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organisational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, to ensure the safety of personal data and prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised communication or access to such data.

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

However, because Laura Mellado can not guarantee the impregnability of the Internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay when a breach of security of personal data that is likely to involve a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons occurs. Following the provisions of Article 4 of the GDPR, a breach of security of personal data means any breach resulting in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed, or unauthorised communication or access to such data.

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

Rights arising from the processing of personal data.

The User has over Laura Mellado and may, therefore, exercise against the Data Controller the following rights recognised in the GDPR and the Organic Law 30/07/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights:

•       Right of access: It is the User’s right to obtain confirmation of whether or not Laura Mellado is processing their data and, if so, get information about their specific personal data and the treatment that Laura Mellado has made or makes, as well as, among others, the information available on the origin of such data and the recipients of the communications made or planned for them.
•       Right of rectification: This is the User’s right to have personal data that proves inaccurate or, taking into account the purposes of the processing, incomplete or amended.
•       Right of erasure (“the right to be forgotten”): This is the User’s right, provided that the legislation in force does not provide otherwise, to obtain the deletion of their personal data when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed; the User has withdrawn their consent to the processing, and the processing has no other legal basis; the User objects to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue the processing; the personal data have been processed unlawfully; the personal data must be deleted in compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data have been obtained as a result of a direct offer of information society services to a minor under 14 years of age. In addition to deleting the data, the Controller, taking into account the technology available and the cost of its implementation, must take reasonable steps to inform controllers who are processing the personal data of the data subject’s request to delete any link to such personal data.
•       Right to limitation of processing: This is the User’s right to limit the processing of their personal data. For example, the User has the right to obtain the limitation of processing when they contest the accuracy of their personal data; the processing is unlawful; the Controller no longer needs the personal data, but the User needs it to make claims; and when the User has objected to the processing.
•       Right to data portability: If the processing is carried out by automated means, the User shall have the right to receive from the Controller their personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller. Furthermore, whenever technically possible, the Data Controller shall send the data directly to such other controller.
•       Right to object: This is the User’s right not to have their personal data processed or to have the processing of such data by Laura Mellado cease.
•       Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling: It is the right of the User not to be subject to an individualised decision based solely on automated processing of their data, including profiling, existing unless otherwise provided by law.

Thus, the User may exercise their rights using a written communication addressed to the Data Controller with the reference “GDPR-www.lauramellado.com”, specifying:

•       Name, the User’s surname and copy of the ID card. In cases where representation is admitted, the identification by the same means of the person representing the User will also be necessary, as well as the document proving the representation.

•       Request the specific reasons for the request or information to be accessed.
•       Address for notification purposes.
