We may also share your information if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such sharing is necessary for the purposes of:

We will not keep personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements.

What are your rights and choices regarding the collection and use of your information?

One of the main objectives of the GDPR and LOPDGDD is to protect and explain the rights you have in relation to the privacy of your personal data. That is why the RGPD and LOPDGDD confers various rights associated with your data, even after you have given us your explicit consent to the processing of such data.

The rights that you may exercise, in accordance with the protection regulations currently in force, are as follows:

  • Right of access: All Users have the right to request Meta Engineering at any time to let them know what information we hold about them and to modify, update or delete it.: Todos los Usuarios tiene derecho a solicitar a Meta Engineering en cualquier momento que les comuniquemos qué información disponemos de ellos y así proceder a modificarlo, actualizarla o suprimirla.
  • Right of rectification: Users have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about them by Meta Engineering. In the event that their data has been shared with third parties, we will proceed, based on the User's request, to communicate the rectification of the data that has been transferred to said third party, except in those cases in which it would involve a disproportionate effort.
  • Right of cancellation or deletion: Users have the right to request the deletion of their personal data from our database. In this situation, the User should be aware that the deletion of their personal data may imply the impossibility of continuing the relationship with Meta Engineering.
  • Right to object: This right allows you to object to our processing of your personal data where we do so for one of the following four reasons: i) our legitimate interests; ii) authorising us to carry out a task that is in the public interest or to exercise official authority; iii) sending you direct marketing material; and iv) for scientific, historical, research or statistical purposes.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Users may object, once they have given us their express consent to the processing of their data for a series of specific purposes, to the processing of their data for certain purposes (e.g. marketing, profiling, transfer to a specific third party, etc.), and the User may withdraw their consent at any time so that Meta Engineering stops processing their data for the purpose indicated by the User.
  • Right to restrict consent: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, which means that we may only continue to store it and that we may not carry out any further processing activities until one of the following circumstances is resolved; (i) you give your consent; or (ii) further processing is necessary either for the institution, exercise or defence of legal proceedings, for the protection of the rights of another natural person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or of a particular Member State.

The User has the right to request the restriction of processing in the following circumstances:

  • If the accuracy of your personal data processed by Meta Engineering is contested.
  • When the User objects to the processing of his or her personal data for our legitimate interests.
  • Where the processing is unlawful
  • When the User considers that we no longer need to process his/her data.
  • Right of portability: The User has the right to request the portability of his/her data to another data controller. In this case, you will be provided with a digital dossier of all data held by Meta Engineeringa for the purpose of transferring it to the new controller.

If you wish to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, you can send an e-mail to protecciondatos@metaengineering.com or by post to Bac de Roda no64, edificio D, 2a Planta, 08019, Barcelona, always including a copy of your ID card or identification document, as well as the right you wish to exercise.

The User must bear in mind that the exercise of any of these rights may influence the correct development of the relationship with Meta Engineering.

If you do not consider that your personal rights have been duly addressed, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, which in this case is the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

How do we protect your information?

We want you to feel secure in your dealings with Meta Engineering and we are committed to protecting the information we collect.

Although no website or computer system can fully guarantee your security, we have implemented and maintain appropriate physical, administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information you provide to us against unauthorised or unlawful access, use of disclosure, and against accidental loss, damage, alteration or destruction. For example, only authorised employees may access personal information, and they may only do so to carry out permitted business functions. We also use encryption to transmit personal information between our system and your system and between our system and the systems of parties with whom we share sensitive information, and we use firewalls and intrusion detection systems to prevent unauthorised persons from gaining access to your information.

Children's privacy

Meta Engineering is a general audience site and does not offer services directed at children. In the event that we learn that a person under the age of 14 has submitted personal information to us, we will delete or destroy such information as soon as reasonably possible.

External links

Our website may include links to third party websites. If you access other websites from links provided on our website, the operators of those websites may collect information about you and use it in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures for collecting, using and disclosing personal information.

International transfers

Some third party companies, agents and contractors that we engage to perform services on our behalf may need to transfer your personal information to territories outside the US (Privacy Shield companies) and Europe in order to provide Meta Engineering services to you. Some of these territories may not have data protection laws as stringent as those in the US and Europe, but we have implemented measures to safeguard your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy at all times.

By using our services, you agree that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those of third parties with whom we share it, as described in this Privacy Policy.

Legitimacy

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Article 6 of the GDPR applies, whereby we are entitled to process the personal data of the User when "it is necessary for the satisfaction of legitimate interests pursued by Meta Engineering or a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by interests or rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data".

In order to be able to fully develop the relationship with Meta Engineering, it is legitimate for us to process your data when you provide it to us.
