GIG adopts the security levels required by Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December on the protection of personal data (LOPD) and by the Royal Decree 1720/2007 of 21 December which approves the implementing regulations of the LOPD. In addition, GIG has an internal policy on privacy and processing of personal data, ideal for reaching adequate levels of protection of the data supplied by the Users, in line with the current legislation. Notwithstanding the above, the technical security in a medium such as Internet is not impregnable and filtrations may exist through fraudulent actions of third parties.

The processing of personal data is subject to the principle of quality and the purpose of the data for which reason GIG will only request the data strictly necessary for the effective provision of the services required by the users, through the Portal.

As for the personal data that the User, through navigating in the web pages of the Portal, may provide for any reason to GIG, the User is notified that he shall have to have all the pertinent authorisations, in line with the current legislation, in order to be able to carry out said assignment or transmission to GIG. In this regard, the User will be the only one responsible for obtaining the authorisations of those involved, in accordance with the procedures provided in the law, with GIG not assuming any responsibility in this regard, neither towards the User nor towards any third party. The User recognises and accepts that, in relation to the supplied data, he must keep GIG unharmed from any contingency that could be derived from the assignment or transmission carried out. The data thus acquired by GIG will be analysed with the aim of verifying whether their processing responds to the lawful aims coherent with GIG’s activity. GIG will cancel, delete and/or block these data when they are inaccurate, incoherent, useless, incomplete or not necessary or pertinent for its activities and aims, in keeping with the provisions in the legislation on the protection of data, and without an obligation to communicate this circumstance to the User who has supplied them or to the person affected.

With respect to the data supplied for employment offers, GIG informs you that the data that you voluntarily provide us to use the services of the employment offers shall be stored in a file for which GIG is responsible, and to whom you can write in order to exercise your rights of access, cancellation, rectification and opposition.

The GIG website uses “cookies”, with the aim of facilitating the service offered by the Portal when a user or visitor navigates through its pages, identifying each user or visitor with maximum speed. The cookies are automatic information-gathering procedures related to the preferences determined by a user during his visit to a certain web page. This information is registered in small files that are imperceptibly stored in the corresponding user’s computer equipment. Each time the user again accesses the website in question, these files are automatically activated in such a way as to configure the website with the preferences indicated in previous visits. In short, the cookies are physical files of personal information stored in the user’s terminal and unequivocally associated with this terminal. Nonetheless, the cookies are only associated with an anonymous user, not accessing data of a personal nature, data of the user’s or visitor’s hard disk, or reading the “cookies” created by other service providers of the information society.

The User has the possibility of configuring his browser so that it impedes the creation of cookie files or warns him of the moment in which this occurs. The Portal is accessible without the need for the options referring to the “cookie” files being activated, although it can impede the correct functioning of security mechanisms for exclusive services or certain services that require a higher level of security. As a general rule, the aim of the cookie files of the Portal is that of facilitating the User’s navigation.

• Furthermore, the title that accredits the legitimacy of the holder of the rights and, where applicable, that of representation for acting on behalf of the holder when it is other than the communicating party shall be provided.
