In addition to the processing specified in the table above, UNIE UNIVERSIDAD will need to process the user's personal data in order to comply with the different legal obligations of an accounting, legal, fiscal and administrative nature that may be required of it at any given time. We refer, principally and among others, to those provided for in the following rules:

• Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC ("GDPR").

• If we are requested to do so by any Court or Tribunal, the State Security Forces or any other competent Public Authority or Administration, we may also have to provide it with your personal data, as we are legally obliged to do so.
• Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, approving the revised text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws, to deal with requests, exercise of rights and claims presented by you when you are a consumer.

These obligations of a legal nature will be fulfilled by UNIE UNIVERSIDAD during the periods imposed on us in each case by the legislation in force.

6. To which recipients will your data be disclosed?

Your personal data may be disclosed to:

• The companies in which, if applicable, the corresponding curricular internships will be carried out, with this disclosure being necessary in order to be able to carry out the said internships.
• To the educational centres outside the centre itself to which it is necessary to transfer your record as a consequence of you choosing to do part of the Programme there, participating in an international training programme, or when you decide to do any other training programme there and request the aforementioned record transfer.
• To the bodies or entities that manage the scholarships, grants or funding that, if applicable, may be requested to pay for the Programme in which you are enrolled, with this notification being necessary in order to manage and process the scholarship, grant or funding requested.
• To the Department of Education and relevant authorities when we are legally obliged to do so.
• To third parties if you have given your consent.
• If you are a minor, or if you are of legal age on the basis of your consent, your academic record may be disclosed to your guardians and/or parents.

In the event that you give us your consent, your personal data and, as the case may be, your commercial profile will be disclosed to other Grupo Planeta companies for the purposes indicated in the section “For what purpose do we process your personal data?” of this privacy policy. You can consult the list of Grupo Planeta companies at the following link www.planeta.es. These companies operate in the publishing, education, culture, leisure, collecting, textile, private insurance, consumer goods and jewellery sectors.

We also inform you that, in the event of a legal obligation that requires us to do so, your data will be transferred to the administrations, authorities, public bodies or courts and tribunals indicated by the corresponding legislation.

We also inform you that UNIE UNIVERSIDAD contracts various services from third-party providers, who may have access to your personal data for the provision of such services in which case such providers will always process the data on our behalf, under a processor agreement, and never for their own interests. Specifically, UNIE UNIVERSIDAD may contract the provision of services by third-party suppliers that carry out their activity, by way of example, in the following sectors: logistics services, legal consultancy, supplier approval, multidisciplinary professional services companies, maintenance-related companies, technology service providers, IT service providers, instant messaging service providers, infrastructure management and maintenance companies.

7. Do we carry out international data transfers?

In the event that you choose to do part of the Programme in an educational centre located outside the European Economic Area or participate in an international educational programme, your data will be transferred internationally. In such cases, UNIE UNIVERSIDAD shall adopt appropriate safeguards for the regularisation of such international transfers.

In addition, as noted in the previous point, UNIE UNIVERSIDAD contracts various services from third-party providers, some of which are located outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Accordingly, UNIE UNIVERSIDAD has signed the corresponding standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission with these providers, along with any additional safeguards required in each case.

8. Do we carry out processing based on legitimate interest?

As indicated in this Privacy Policy, some processing may be based on legitimate interest. In order to assess the legitimate interest, a weighting has been carried out in which we have analysed our own benefits as data controller, as well as the benefits of third parties, and in which we conclude that our legitimate interest in the processing prevails over the interests, rights and freedoms of users and/or third parties.

You may at any time request further information about the weighting of legitimate interest by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that you have the right to object to processing on the grounds of legitimate interest.

9. How long will we store your data?

All data provided will be processed for the period of time set out in section four of this Privacy Policy ("For what purposes do we process your personal data? What gives us the right to process it and how long will we store your data?"). However, once the aforementioned time periods have expired, the data will be kept blocked, thus preventing their processing. The exception will be the availability of the data to judges and courts, the Public Prosecutor's Office or the competent Public Administrations, for the claim of possible liabilities derived from the processing and only for the corresponding statute of limitations period. Once the aforementioned period of time has elapsed, the data will be deleted.

Without prejudice to these time periods, where possible, your data may be kept in an anonymised form for statistical or market research purposes.

10. What security measures do we apply to protect your data?

We take the necessary measures to ensure that your personal data collected through the website is not lost, consulted, modified or disclosed by unauthorised third parties.

To this end, we have put in place technical measures (such as firewalls) to protect your data against unlawful or accidental destruction, alteration or loss, misuse and unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

In addition, organisational measures (such as data access authorisation management systems, etc.) help to preserve the confidentiality of your data. For example, access to your personal data is strictly limited to the expressly authorised personnel of UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L. and to our partners and subcontractors, who act according to our instructions and in accordance with our contractual provisions and applicable legislation.

11. What are the rights granted by the regulations in force?

Any person has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L. is processing personal data concerning them.

Furthermore, data subjects have the right to access their personal data, as well as the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or, where appropriate, to request their erasure when, among other reasons, the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected.

Under certain circumstances, data subjects may request the restriction of the processing of their data, in which case we will only store such data for the exercise or defence of legal claims.

At any time, the persons concerned have the right to withdraw any consent they may have given us. This will not prejudice the contractual relationship with UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L. or the legality of what we have carried out up to that moment: that is to say, the withdrawal of their consent does not have retroactive effects, but only applies from that moment onwards.

In certain circumstances, on grounds relating to their particular situation, data subjects may object to the processing of their data. UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L. will cease to process the data, except on compelling legitimate grounds for the exercise or defence of legal claims.

Data subjects shall also have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller.

In the event that we carry out an automated process, you have the right to challenge the decision that has been taken, to request the personal intervention of one of our analysts and to express your point of view, so that your request is re-evaluated. You may do so by sending an e-mail to UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L.

You may revoke your consent, where applicable, as well as exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure and portability of your data, of limitation and objection to its processing before UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L. by letter addressed to Apartado de Correos 221 de Barcelona or by sending an e-mail to UNIE UNIVERSIDAD, S.L.
