Ownership of the website

In accordance with article 10 of the “Ley 34/2002, de servicios de la sociedad de la información y de comercio electrónico” (the Spanish Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce Act), the following information is provided.

This website is owned by ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS S.C.P., a firm engaged in the practice of law and the provision of legal advice, with tax identification number (NIF) J60438165 and registered office at Travessera de Gràcia 62, Ático 2ª, 08006 Barcelona. It is registered with the Registro Mercantil de Barcelona (the Barcelona Commercial Registry), volume 40964, folio 1, sheet B377967, entry 1.

Acceptance of these terms

Anyone who accesses or uses the Website thereby becomes a user and accepts these terms in full, which may change over time. We recommend reading them on each visit. They apply equally to those who access the Website in a private capacity and to those who do so in the course of a profession or business activity, and they may be printed or saved at any time.

Purpose of the content

The texts, materials and information published on the Website are for general information only. They do not constitute legal advice and cannot replace it, and consulting them creates no professional relationship between the user and ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS, nor does it imply the acceptance of any engagement.

The law changes, and so does the way the courts interpret it. Users should therefore bear in mind that the content may not reflect the most recent position on the subject it deals with. Any decision taken on the basis of that content is the responsibility of the person taking it, who assumes the risk of doing so without first consulting a professional.

Proper use of the Website

Users undertake to use the Website in accordance with the law, good faith and these terms, and to refrain from any conduct that may harm it or harm ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS or third parties. In particular, they may not introduce harmful software or take any action that interferes with the operation of the firm's systems or those of others; access accounts, files or data that do not belong to them; reproduce the Website or its content, or incorporate it into other sites, applications or media, without prior written permission; or use it for purposes contrary to those for which it is offered.

Intellectual and industrial property

The design, structure, texts, images, code and distinctive signs appearing on the Website belong to ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS or are used with due authorisation, and are protected by intellectual and industrial property law. Consulting them grants users no right or licence of any kind over them.

The reproduction, transformation, distribution and public communication of those elements is prohibited, as is any other form of exploitation, by any means, without prior written authorisation. It is likewise prohibited to remove or alter any technical protection measures the Website may incorporate.

Liability

ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS uses the means available to it to ensure that the Website works properly and is free from harmful elements, but it cannot guarantee this absolutely and is not liable for any loss its use may cause.

Nor is it liable for interruptions or delays in access, for the accuracy or updating of the content, for unauthorised access to the data transmitted, or for failures in telecommunications networks that prevent the service from working.

Links to other sites

Where the Website links to pages run by third parties, ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS does not control their content and is not responsible for it, for their availability or for their accuracy. The presence of such links implies no connection with, recommendation of or association with their owners.

Changes and suspension of the service

ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS may change the content and services of the Website, and the way they are presented, at any time and without prior notice, and may temporarily suspend access for maintenance, updating or any other reason. It may also amend these terms. The version published on the Website at the time of each visit shall apply, and changes shall not have retroactive effect.

Data protection

The processing of users' personal data is governed by our privacy policy, which can be reached from the foot of this Website, and is carried out in accordance with the legislation in force.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Spanish law. For any matter arising from their interpretation or performance, the parties submit to the courts having jurisdiction under the law, without prejudice to the forum available to users who are consumers.

Who processes your data

Visiting alburquerqueabogados.com, hereinafter the Website, does not require you to provide any personal data. Where a user chooses to give us any, it is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Spanish legislation in force at any given time.

The controller is ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS S.C.P., with registered office at Travessera de Gràcia 62, Ático 2ª, 08006 Barcelona, and tax identification number (NIF) J60438165. For any matter concerning your data you may write to lopd@alburquerqueabogados.com.

Why we process it

The data users provide to us through the Website, by email or by telephone is used for the following purposes:

Responding to enquiries, requests for information and requests for a fee estimate, and maintaining and managing any professional relationship that may arise.

Handling applications from those who send us their CV with a view to joining ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS.

Data contained in CVs

We do not ask for special categories of personal data —among others, data concerning health, disability, trade union membership, beliefs or political opinions— and we ask that it not be included in the CV. If it nonetheless appears in the documents sent to us, it will be processed solely in order to assess the application and will be erased together with the rest of the data.

Our legal basis

Responding to the enquiries put to us and managing any professional relationship arising from them is based on steps taken at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract and, where applicable, on the performance of that contract.

Compliance with the legal obligations applicable to ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS —tax obligations, money laundering prevention and professional conduct rules, among others— is based on those same obligations.

Keeping CVs for one year from receipt, so as to consider them in future selection processes, is based on the firm's legitimate interest in meeting its recruitment needs. Applicants may object to that processing and request the erasure of their data at any time.

How long we keep it

Data provided for an enquiry is kept while the enquiry is dealt with and, if a professional relationship arises from it, for as long as that relationship lasts. CVs are kept for one year from receipt. Once those periods have elapsed, the data is blocked for as long as required by the applicable legislation and by the limitation periods for any liability arising from the relationship.

Who we share it with

Data is not disclosed to third parties except where required by law or by a competent authority, and no international transfers take place. Where the provision of the service requires it, suppliers acting as processors may have access to it, bound by contract and by the same confidentiality obligations. All information is further covered by the duty of professional secrecy binding on lawyers.

Your rights

Data subjects may exercise the rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and data portability granted by articles 15 to 22 of the Regulation. It is enough to send a letter to ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS, Travessera de Gràcia 62, Ático 2ª, 08006 Barcelona, or an email to lopd@alburquerqueabogados.com, providing proof of identity. If you consider that your rights have not been properly dealt with, you may lodge a complaint with the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (the Spanish data protection authority).

Accuracy of the data

Users are responsible for the truthfulness and currency of the data they give us and undertake to inform us of any change. Where they provide third-party data, they must have informed those persons beforehand of the content of this policy, and they will be liable for any loss arising from a failure to do so.

Security

ALBURQUERQUE ABOGADOS applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data against loss, alteration or unauthorised access, in line with the state of the art and with the risks of the processing.

This website does not use cookies: neither its own nor third-party, analytics or advertising cookies. Nor does it use traffic measurement tools.

The map on the contact page is served by Google and for that reason does not load on its own: a notice appears in its place. Only if you ask for it does your browser connect to Google's servers, which may at that point store information on your device in accordance with their own policies. If you do not ask for it, that connection never takes place.

The typefaces used on this website are served from this same domain, so that using it involves no connection with third parties.
