Once you contract IES services, the processing of your personal data will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the existing legal regulation.

In this Policy, we inform you about how the information that IES obtains through its Website, but is not applicable to that obtained by any third parties on other websites, even if they are linked through the IES Website.

Please also note that the principles set out in this Policy are developed for use in GDPR countries.

We remind you of the importance of reading through this Policy on every occasion in which you use the Website, as it may be modified to accommodate any regulatory change.

What is GDPR?
GDPR is a new set of rules designed to give EU citizens more control over their personal data. It aims to simplify the regulatory environment for business so both citizens and businesses in the European Union can fully benefit from the digital economy.

GDPR was approved by the European Parliament in April 2016 and the official texts and regulation of the directive were published in all of the official languages of the EU on May 2016. The legislation came into force across the European Union on 25 May 2018.

What does GDPR mean for consumers/citizens?
Consumers are guaranteed an easier access to their own personal data in terms of how it is processed, with organisations required to detail how they use customer information in a clear and understandable way. You will also be given the right to opt-out if you wish to withdraw your consent

GDPR also brings a clarified ‘right to be forgotten’ process, which provides additional rights and freedoms to people who no longer want their personal data processed to have it deleted, providing there’s no grounds for retaining it.

What is personal data? What personal data does IES retain from its webpage and how is this data obtained?
Personal data are any information which are related to an identified or identifiable natural person. The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified.

Giving your consent allows IES to offer a better service adapted to your needs. However, it is not compulsory. If you choose not to give consent, be aware that IE must process your personal data for the maintenance of its customer service and/or to comply with certain laws.

Is it the same not to grant consent as not to answer the form?
In practice, yes. If you choose not to complete the form, it will be understood that you have rejected giving consent. Therefore, you will not be recipient of any communications that can only be customized by consent.

What is the processing of personal data?
Data processing is considered any use of a personal data, from collection, recording, storage, processing, modification, consultation, use, blocking, modification or cancellation. Transfer of data that results in communications, consultations, interconnections and transfers is also considered processing.
