The legal basis for processing personal data is consent. www.ecotrado.com is committed to obtaining the User’s express and verifiable consent for processing their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

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

When the User provides data through forms—for inquiries, requests for information, or other interactions with the Website—they will be informed if any fields are mandatory, as these may be essential for the proper execution of the requested operation.

Purposes of Processing Personal Data

Personal data is collected and managed by www.ecotrado.com to facilitate, streamline, and fulfill commitments between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established through the forms completed by the User, as well as to process inquiries or requests.

Additionally, the data may be used for commercial, operational, and statistical purposes, as well as for activities related to the business purpose of www.ecotrado.com.

Confidentiality and Security of Personal Data

www.ecotrado.com is committed to adopting the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the appropriate level of security for the risk of the collected data, to ensure the security of personal data and to prevent their accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, transmission, storage, or unauthorized access.

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

However, since www.ecotrado.com cannot guarantee the absolute invulnerability of the internet or the complete absence of hackers or other entities who may fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller commits to notifying the User without undue delay in the event of a personal data security breach that is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

As established in Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data security breach is defined as any security breach that results in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to personal data that has been transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who commits to informing and ensuring, through legal or contractual obligations, that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and any individual to whom access to the information is granted.

Rights Derived from the Processing of Personal Data

The User has the following rights over www.ecotrado.com and may, therefore, exercise them against the Data Controller, as recognized in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on Personal Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights:

In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller, considering the available technology and the cost of implementation, must take reasonable measures to inform other controllers processing the personal data about the User’s request to delete any links to that data.
• Right to restriction of processing: The User has the right to restrict the processing of their personal data when they contest its accuracy; when the processing is unlawful; when the Data Controller no longer needs the data, but the User requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or when the User has objected to the processing.
