Categories of personal data

Makara only processes identifying data. In no case are special categories of personal data processed as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR.

Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data is the user’s consent. Makara is committed to obtaining the user’s explicit 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. It will be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it. As a general rule, the withdrawal of consent will not affect the use of the Website.

On occasions when the user is required to provide their data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if the completion of any of them is mandatory due to being essential for the proper development of the operation carried out.

Purposes of the processing of personal data

Personal data are collected and managed by Makara to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the user or to maintain the relationship established in the forms the user fills out or to address a request or inquiry. Additionally, the data may be used for commercial purposes, personalization, operational and statistical purposes, and activities related to Makara’s social objectives, as well as for extracting, storing data, and conducting marketing studies to tailor the content offered to the user, improving the quality, functionality, and navigation of the Website.

At the time the personal data are obtained, the user will be informed of the specific purpose or purposes for which the personal data will be processed, i.e., the use(s) that will be made of the collected information.

Retention periods for personal data

Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of its processing and, in any case, only for the following period: 24 months, or until the user requests its deletion.

At the time the personal data are obtained, the user will be informed of the retention period or, when that is not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

Recipients of personal data

The user’s personal data will not be shared with third parties.

In any case, at the time the personal data are obtained, the user will be informed of the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.

Personal data of minors

In accordance with Articles 8 of the GDPR and 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights, only those over 14 years of age can lawfully give their consent for the processing of their personal data by Makara. If the data belongs to a minor under 14 years of age, the consent of parents or guardians will be required, and processing will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorized it.

Confidentiality and security of personal data

Makara commits to adopting the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the collected data, to ensure the security of personal data and to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed personal data, or unauthorized communication or access to such data.

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

However, as Makara cannot guarantee the invulnerability of the internet or the complete absence of hackers or others who may access personal data in a fraudulent manner, the Data Controller commits to notifying 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 natural persons. In accordance with Article 4 of the GDPR, a breach of personal data security is understood as any security breach that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed, or the unauthorized communication of or access to such data.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who commits to ensuring that this confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and any person to whom it provides access to the information by a legal or contractual obligation.

Rights arising from the processing of personal data

The user has the following rights regarding Makara, which they may exercise before the Data Controller, as recognized in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights:

  • Right of access: The user’s right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not Makara is processing their personal data and, if so, to access specific personal data and the processing Makara has carried out or is carrying out, as well as, among other things, the available information on the source of such data and the recipients of communications made or planned concerning the same.
  • Right to rectification: The user’s right to have their inaccurate or incomplete personal data modified, considering the purposes of the processing.
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): The user’s right, provided that the current legislation does not provide otherwise, to obtain the erasure 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 for processing, and there is no other legal basis for processing; the user objects to the processing, and there is no other legitimate reason to continue; the personal data has been processed unlawfully; the personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation; or the personal data has been obtained through an offer of information society services directly to a child under 14 years of age. In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller, considering the available technology and the cost of its application, must take reasonable measures to inform the controllers processing the personal data of the data subject’s request to delete any links to such personal data.
  • Right to restrict processing: The user’s right to limit the processing of their personal data. The user has the right to restrict the processing of their data when they contest 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.
  • Right to data portability: Where the processing is carried out by automated means, the user has the right to receive from the Data Controller their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another data controller. Whenever technically feasible, the Data Controller will directly transmit the data to that other controller.
  • Right to object: The user’s right not to have their personal data processed or to cease processing by Makara.
  • Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling: The user’s right not to be subject to an individualized decision based solely on automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, except where the current legislation provides otherwise.

Thus, the user may exercise their rights by written communication addressed to the Data Controller with the subject “GDPR-www.makaraplanet.com“, specifying:

  • Name, surname(s) of the user, and a copy of their ID. In cases where representation is admitted, identification of the representative by the same means is also necessary, as well as the document accrediting representation.

  • Request specifying the reasons for the request or information to which access is sought.
  • Address for notification purposes.

Complaints to the supervisory authority

If the user considers that there is a problem or violation of the regulations in force regarding the processing of their personal data, they have the right to effective judicial protection and to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the State in which they have their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. In Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (http://www.agpd.es).

The user must have read and agrees to the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, and accepts the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller can proceed in the manner, during the periods, and for the purposes stated. Using the Website implies the acceptance of its Privacy Policy.
