Categories of personal data
The categories of data processed in MEC Directory are solely identifying data. Under no circumstances are special categories of personal data processed within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. MEC Directory undertakes to obtain the User’s express and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
The User has the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawing consent will not affect use of the Website.
Whenever the User must or may 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 completion of any of these forms is mandatory because they are essential for the proper development of the transaction.
Purposes of Personal Data Processing
Personal data is collected and managed by MEC Directory to facilitate, streamline, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established in the forms completed by the User, or to respond to a request or query.
Likewise, the data may be used for commercial purposes, including personalization, operational, and statistical purposes, and activities related to the corporate purpose of MEC Directory, as well as for data extraction, storage, and marketing studies to tailor the Content offered to the User, as well as to improve the quality, operation, and navigation of the Website.

Personal data of minors
In compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of the GDPR and Article 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights, only those over 14 years of age may give their consent for the lawful processing of their personal data by MEC Directory. If the person is under 14 years of age, the consent of their parents or guardians will be required for the processing, and this will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorized it.
Confidentiality and Security of Personal Data
MEC Directory undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed, 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, since MEC Directory cannot guarantee the impregnability of the Internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay in the event of a personal data breach that is likely to entail a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach is understood to be any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform the User of this information and to ensure, by means of a legal or contractual obligation, that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, partners, and any person to whom the information is made accessible.
