  6. Integrity and confidentiality principle: Personal data will be processed in a way that ensures its security and confidentiality.
  7. Proactive accountability principle: The Data Controller will be responsible for ensuring that the above principles are complied with.

Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed by Card Shield are only identification data. Under no circumstances are special categories of personal data processed within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR.

Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data is consent. Card Shield undertakes to obtain the express and verifiable consent of the User for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The User shall have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent will not condition the use of the Website.

On occasions when the User must or may provide their data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the Website's content, they will be informed if the completion of any of them is mandatory because they are essential for the correct execution of the operation performed.

Purposes of the processing for which the personal data is intended

Personal data is collected and managed by Card Shield in order to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established in the forms filled out by the User, or to address a request or query.

Likewise, the data may be used for commercial purposes of personalization, operations, and statistics, and activities inherent to the corporate purpose of Card Shield, as well as for data extraction, storage, and marketing studies to tailor the offered Content to the User, as well as to improve the quality, operation, and navigation of the Website.

At the time the personal data is obtained, the User will be informed of the specific purpose or purposes of the processing for which the personal data is intended; that is, the use or uses that will be given to the collected information.

Retention periods for personal data

Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of its processing and, in any case, only for the following period: 2 months, or until the User requests its deletion.

At the time the personal data is obtained, the User will be informed of the period for which the personal data will be kept or, when this is not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

Recipients of personal data

The User's personal data will be shared with the following recipients or categories of recipients:

  • Shopify Inc., headquarters Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

If the Data Controller intends to transfer personal data to a third country or international organization, at the time the personal data is obtained, the User will be informed about the third country or international organization to which the data is intended to be transferred, as well as the existence or absence of an adequacy decision by the Commission.

Personal data of minors

In accordance with the provisions of Articles 8 of the GDPR and 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, only those over 14 years of age may give their consent for the lawful processing of their personal data by Card Shield. If the user is under 14 years of age, the consent of the parents or guardians will be required for the processing, and it will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorized it.

Confidentiality and security of personal data

Card Shield undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the appropriate level of security based on the risk of the collected data, so as to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed personal data, or unauthorized communication of 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 the transmission of data between the server and the User, and in feedback, is fully encrypted.

However, because Card Shield 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 when a personal data security breach occurs that is likely to entail a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. As set out in Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data security breach is any breach of security that results in the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed personal data.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and ensure through a legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and any person to whom it makes the information accessible.

Rights derived from the processing of personal data

The User has and may, therefore, exercise the following rights recognized in the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, against the Data Controller:

  1. Right of access: This is the User's right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not Card Shield is processing their personal data and, if so, obtain information about their specific personal data and the processing that Card Shield has carried out or will carry out, as well as, among other things, the information available about the origin of said data and the recipients of the communications made or planned thereof.
  2. Right to rectification: This is the User's right to have their personal data that turns out to be inaccurate or, taking into account the purposes of the processing, incomplete, modified.
  3. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): This is the User's right, provided that current legislation does not establish otherwise, to obtain the deletion of their personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed; the User has withdrawn their consent to the processing and there is no other legal basis for it; the User objects to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue with it; the personal data has been unlawfully processed; the personal data must be deleted in compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data has been obtained as a result of a direct offer of information society services to a child under 14. In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller, taking into account the available technology and the cost of its application, must take reasonable steps to inform the controllers processing the personal data of the data subject's request for deletion of any link to that personal data.
  4. Right to restriction of processing: This is the User's right to restrict the processing of their personal data. The User has the right to obtain restriction of processing when they contest the accuracy of their personal data; the processing is unlawful; the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data, but the User needs it to make claims; and when the User has objected to the processing.
  5. Right to data portability: If the processing is carried out by automated means, the User will have the right to receive from the Data Controller their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another data controller. Whenever technically possible, the Data Controller will transmit the data directly to that other controller.
  6. Right to object: This is the User's right not to have their personal data processed or to cease the processing of it by Card Shield.
  7. Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling: This is the User's right not to be subject to an individualized decision based solely on automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, existing unless current legislation provides otherwise.

Therefore, the User may exercise their rights by written communication addressed to the Data Controller with the reference "GDPR-www.cardshield.eu", specifying:

  • Name, surname(s) of the User and copy of ID. In cases where representation is admitted, identification by the same means of the person representing the User, as well as the document proving the representation, will also be necessary. The photocopy of the ID may be substituted by any other means valid in law that proves identity.
  • Request with the specific reasons for the request or information to which access is desired.
  • Address for notification purposes.
  • Date and signature of the applicant.
  • Any document that accredits the request made.

This request and any other attached document may be sent to the following address and/or email:

  • Email: cartasopening@gmail.com

Links to third-party websites

The Website may include hyperlinks or links that allow access to third-party websites different from Card Shield, and which are therefore not operated by Card Shield. The owners of such websites will have their own data protection policies, being themselves, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices.

Complaints to the supervisory authority

If the User considers that there is a problem or infringement of current regulations in the way their personal data is being processed, they will have the right to effective judicial protection and to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the State where they have their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. In the case of Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (https://www.aepd.es/).

II. ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

It is necessary for the User to have read and agreed to the conditions regarding the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, as well as to accept the processing of their personal data so that the Data Controller can proceed with it in the manner, during the periods, and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website will imply acceptance of its Privacy Policy.

Card Shield reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy, according to its own criteria, or motivated by a legislative, jurisprudential, or doctrinal change by the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this Privacy Policy will not be explicitly notified to the User. The User is recommended to consult this page periodically to be aware of the latest changes or updates.

This Privacy Policy was updated to adapt to 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 (GDPR) and to Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights.
