LEGITIMATE BASIS

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the purposes described above are as follows:

WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

In general, TJA Patents will not communicate your personal data to third parties, except in the following cases:

1. to competent authorities and bodies, courts, tribunals or any other third parties entitled to do so in accordance with applicable law;
2. to other companies in the business group to which TJA Patents belongs, specifically to the company “GARRETA I ASSOCIATS, SL”, for the provision of trademark and similar services, invoicing and internal administrative purposes, including the processing of our clients’ personal data.

However, TJA Patents has contracted the provision of certain services (e.g. virtual infrastructure services, cloud computing, client relation management, etc.) to suppliers, who may have access to and/or process personal data in their capacity as data processors. Some of these providers may process and store personal information on servers located outside your country of residence.

Therefore, depending on the user’s location, transfers of data to other countries may occur. In such a case, your personal data may be transferred internationally to third parties located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), provided that TJA Patents has the authority to do so and subject to compliance with the suitable safeguards set out in Articles 44 to 50 of the GDPR. Said third parties will only access the data in order to carry out their services on behalf of and for the account of TJA Patents under an obligation of confidentiality and in accordance with its instructions and may not at any time use said data for their own purposes and/or unauthorised purposes.

In any case, adequate safeguards include, inter alia:

• Adequacy decision: A declaration by the European Commission that a non-EU state offers an adequate level of data protection equivalent to that provided by European data protection law, making international data transfer to a third party established in that state outside the EU possible;
• Binding Corporate Rules: These apply to groups of undertakings or a group of enterprises engaged in a joint economic activity, which enables the flow of personal data on the basis of self-regulation accepted and assumed by each of the signatory entities;
• Standard Contractual Clauses: This is a mechanism signed between the exporter of Personal Data from any EEA country and a third country. It is a contractual agreement the model of which has been approved and published by the European Commission and aligned with the provisions of the GDPR.
• Code of conduct or a certification mechanism, together with binding and enforceable commitments undertaken by the recipient regarding the implementation of adequate safeguards for the protection of the data transferred.
• In the absence of the above, your personal data may exceptionally be transferred to a third country or international organisation, in application of the mechanisms that may be recognised in this respect by data protection legislation.  

TJA Patents, in order of preference, will carry out international transfers under the following safeguards:

Safeguard	Criteria used by TJA Patents
Adequacy Decision issued by EC	Measure included as preferential by TJA Patents. You can find the list of countries subject to an adequacy decision at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en
Binding Corporate Rules	In the absence of an Adequacy Decision, this will be the preferred safeguard measure that TJA Patents will request from the importer of the personal data. The list of entities that have BCRs can be found here: https://edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tools/accountability-tools/bcr_en?page=1
Standard Contractual Clauses	As a secondary guarantee mechanism in the absence of the above, we will proceed to subscribe and/or request a copy as appropriate from the importer of the personal data of the signed version of the Standard Contractual Clauses aligned with the European Commission models, available here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ES/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32021D0914.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

TJA Patents will keep your personal data in order to address and/or carry out the services requested (provided that you do not request their erasure or opposition through the means indicated in the section “YOUR RIGHTS”) and will keep them for the limitation periods necessary according to the legislation that, in each case, is applicable to meet future liabilities. Once the legal limitation periods have elapsed, your personal data will be destroyed.

However, for each of the processing operations, in the information that we will provide to you when collecting your personal data, we will inform you of the period of time for which your personal data will be processed. We also inform you that we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is rectified or erased when inaccurate.

YOUR RIGHTS

At any time, you may exercise a number of rights with respect to the processing of your Personal Data. These rights are inherent to each Data Subject and, therefore, cannot be waived and are as follows:

• Right of access: The right to access personal data that are processed by the Controller in accordance with Article 15 GDPR.
• Right of rectification: The right to request that the Controller rectify certain personal data of the Data Subject in accordance with Article 16 GDPR.
• Right to object: The right to object to those Processing operations that are based on consent or on the existence of a legitimate interest (including, but not limited to, the sending of commercial communications) in accordance with Article 21(2) GDPR. In those cases where the Processing is based on the existence of a legitimate interest, the Data Subject shall have the right to request the weighting report carried out by the Controller. Furthermore, in cases where the Processing is intended to send commercial information of its own or of third parties, the Data Subject may freely and voluntarily opt-out of receiving advertising (more information can be found here: https://www.listarobinson.es/).
• Right to erasure: The right to request the Controller to erase all or part of the Data Subject’s Personal Data in accordance with Article 17 of the GDPR. Remember that while the commercial and/or contractual relationship that we have with you remains in force, there is a series of Personal Data that we need to process in order to comply with the contract, so while the contract is in force we cannot delete, block or cancel it, because otherwise it would prevent us from complying with the contract.
• Right to restriction of processing: The right to obtain from the Controller the restriction of the Processing of your Personal Data provided that some of the conditions indicated in article 18 GDPR are met.
• Right to portability of personal data: The right to receive the data you have provided to the Controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller (or to have it transmitted directly to the new controller, where technically feasible), in accordance with Article 20 GDPR.
• Right to withdraw consent given for the performance of the Processing identified in the section on Processing based on the Data Subject’s consent, without said revocation having a retroactive effect, in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR.
• The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or significantly affects him/her. The Controller informs the Data Subject that, notwithstanding the fact that it makes decisions that are based on automated systems, these decisions (i) either do not produce legal effects or significant effects on the Data Subject; (ii) or are not taken solely by automated means.

We will respond to your request as soon as possible and, in any case, within the established legal period. Likewise, you may withdraw your consent at any time through the e-mail address: admin@tjapatents.com without, in any case, the withdrawal of your consent being a condition for guaranteeing the correct management of the commercial relationship.

In the event that we fail to comply with our data protection obligations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).

Finally, we remind you that in the event that you provide to us data relating to another natural person, you must, prior to their inclusion, inform them of the points of issue contained in this Policy.
