2.2   Legal basis for the processing of personal data  

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is unequivocal and express consent, and the company undertakes to obtain such consent by verifying the user's consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The user has the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawing consent will not affect use of the website.

Whenever the user must or may provide their data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the website, they will be informed if completion of any of these forms is mandatory because they are essential for the proper development of the transaction.

2.3 Retention periods for personal data

In order to properly manage the service provided and the personal data of its users, MERCADO IT, SL will collaborate with third-party service providers who may have access to your personal data on behalf of MERCADO IT, SL as a result of their provision of services.

However, since MERCADO IT, SL cannot guarantee the security of the Internet or the complete absence of hackers or others who fraudulently access personal data, the data controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay whenever a personal data breach occurs that is likely to entail a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Pursuant to Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach is understood to be any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
