The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. ProtoQSAR 2000 SL commits to obtaining the explicit and verifiable consent of the User for processing their personal data for one or several specific purposes.
The User has the right to withdraw their consent at any time. It will be as easy to withdraw consent as to give it. As a general rule, the withdrawal of consent will not condition the use of the Website.
In instances where the User must or can 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 these is mandatory because they are essential for the proper development of the operation carried out.
Purposes of the processing for which the personal data is intended
Personal data is collected and managed by ProtoQSAR 2000 SL to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established in the forms that the User fills out or to respond to a request or inquiry.

If it is a minor under 14 years old, the consent of the parents or guardians will be required for the processing, and this will only be considered lawful to the extent that they have authorized it.
Secrecy and security of personal data
ProtoQSAR 2000 SL commits to adopting the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the appropriate level of security risk for the collected data, to ensure the security of personal data and to prevent its destruction, loss, or accidental or unlawful 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, ensuring that personal data is transmitted securely and confidentially, as the data transmission between the server and the User, and in feedback, is fully encrypted or encoded.
However, because ProtoQSAR 2000 SL cannot guarantee the unassailability of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller commits to informing the User without undue delay when a personal data security breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who commits to informing and ensuring through a legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by their employees, associates, and any person to whom the information is made accessible.
Rights arising from the processing of personal data
The User has over ProtoQSAR 2000 SL 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:
- Right of Access: The right of the User to obtain confirmation as to whether ProtoQSAR 2000 SL is processing their personal data and, if so, to obtain information about their specific personal data and the processing that ProtoQSAR 2000 SL has carried out or is carrying out, as well as, among other things, the information available about the origin of such data and the recipients of the communications made or planned for the same.
- Right of Rectification: The right of the User to have their personal data modified if it proves to be inaccurate or, considering the purposes of the processing, incomplete.
- Right of Erasure (“the right to be forgotten”): The right of the User, provided that the current legislation does not establish otherwise, to obtain the erasure 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 the processing; the User objects to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue with the same; the personal data has been unlawfully processed; the personal data must be erased in compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data has been obtained as a result of an offer of information society services directly to a child under 14 years old. In addition to deleting the data, the Data Controller, considering the technology available and the cost of its application, must take reasonable steps to inform controllers processing the personal data of the data subject’s request for the erasure of any links to those personal data.
- Right to Restriction of Processing: The right of the User to restrict the processing of their personal data. The User has the right to obtain the 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 for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; and when the User has objected to processing.
- Right to Data Portability: If the processing is carried out by automated means, the User has the right to receive from the Data Controller their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit them to another data controller. Where technically feasible, the Data Controller will transmit the data directly to that other controller.
