In line with the state of the art, the nature of the data, and the risks involved, Modaes states that it implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality and privacy of personal data collected through its website, as well as their integrity, availability, and security. All necessary actions are taken to prevent any alteration, loss, unauthorized access, or fraudulent use of the data processed.
Modaes ensures that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, and that it is collected with the explicit consent of the user after being informed of the specific purposes for which the data will be used, as stated in this Privacy Policy, or under a legal or contractual basis.
Modaes will not process or share users' personal data unless permitted by applicable regulations, required by competent authorities, or when it has obtained the user’s prior, specific, and informed consent either contractually or through explicit acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
Modaes will not use users’ personal data for purposes other than those previously communicated before the data is provided.
Personal information
Personal information refers to any data related to an identified or identifiable natural person, either directly or indirectly (such as name, identification number, or factors specific to that person’s physical, economic, cultural, or social identity, exact geographic location data, financial information, and bank account numbers, as well as other unique identifiers including national ID numbers, IP and MAC addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, etc.).
How we use personal information
Transparency and data protection information
We are committed to clearly outlining our privacy practices so that you can make informed decisions about how Modaes uses your personal data. Any operations, procedures, or technical processes—automated or not—that enable the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction of personal data or data sets are considered personal data processing activities.
We collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store personal information when necessary to provide our services and to fulfill our operational and business purposes, as described in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to contact us at any time with questions or concerns about the processing of your personal data by emailing info@modaes.com.
Lawfulness and fairness
We will always request your prior consent for processing your personal data for one or more specific purposes, which will be communicated in advance through an initial information layer and this Privacy Policy. We may also process personal data when there is a contractual or pre-contractual relationship with you, or based on another legal basis.
Data minimization
We only request the data strictly necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed, as previously informed.
Storage time limitation
We retain data for as long as necessary based on the processing purpose. We inform users of the applicable retention period in each case. For recurring services, your data will be stored until you withdraw your consent or the contractual or commercial relationship ends.
Confidentiality
We apply appropriate technical and organizational security measures for the processing of personal data, ensuring its confidentiality and minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or misuse of Users' personal data by third parties.
Your Commitment: The Accuracy of the Information You Provide
The user declares that the personal data provided to Modaes is truthful and up to date. Nevertheless, Modaes will keep its databases updated by blocking any data that is unnecessary or ineffective, such as email accounts returned by the server as non-existent or deleted.
Consent for minors
Under no circumstances does Modaes authorize the submission of data by users under the age of 13. If necessary, such submission will require the express consent of their parents or legal guardians, by sending such authorization along with a copy of an identity document to the email address info@modaes.com, as this involves a category of specially protected data.
If Modaes detects the receipt of data from users who may be under the indicated age by any means, it will not process their data nor respond to their requests. Modaes reserves the right to request a copy of the user’s ID or an equivalent document to verify their legitimacy in the event of well-founded suspicion regarding the user's minority status.
Purpose of data processing by Modaes
Modaes informs users that all personal data provided through this website will be processed by Modaes, as the data controller, for the following purposes:
- To respond to inquiries sent directly to our email address info@modaes.com or to any other addresses published on the various microsites of this website or through the contact form.
- To respond to privacy-related inquiries or to requests for the exercise of data protection rights submitted to info@modaes.com.
- To moderate and publish comments on the Modaes blog or on the various microsites.
- To send informational electronic communications in response to your subscription to the Modaes newsletter or those of its microsites.
- To manage our social media channels in relation to the data of individuals who follow our profiles. In this regard, data processing is governed both by this Privacy Policy and by the terms and conditions, privacy policies, and access regulations of each respective social media platform.
- To periodically conduct web analytics studies for statistical purposes based on the data provided.
Modaes may also carry out the following activities, which do not involve the processing of personal data but rather analytics results derived from cookies and other browser storage mechanisms:
- To manage targeted advertising using non-identifiable data obtained through cookies downloaded to the user’s device while browsing this website, which provide insights into browsing habits. Processing this cookie data in combination with other personal data may result in the identification of the user. However, users may object to this processing at any time and manage their cookie preferences. For more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Legal obligations: We may be required to use, retain, and store personal information for legal and compliance purposes, such as the prevention, detection, or investigation of criminal activity, loss prevention or fraud, or to comply with internal and external audit requirements, information security objectives, personal data protection obligations, and/or crime prevention efforts. This processing may occur: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside the user’s country of residence; (b) in response to requests from courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and other public or governmental authorities, including those outside the user's country of residence; (c) to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of Modaes or others.
- Before submitting any request for information via any email address listed on the Modaes website, the user must read this Privacy Policy. Doing so constitutes legally valid, unambiguous, freely given, specific, and informed consent to the processing of personal data for the purposes indicated above.
Such express consent implies the user's authorization for Modaes to process their data in accordance with the terms set out in this Privacy Policy, as well as by co-controllers and data processors with whom Modaes maintains a contractual and compliance oversight relationship.
International data transfers
In some cases, Modaes uses third-party tools and services to manage this website, as well as for conducting analytics, email marketing campaigns, surveys, etc. Some of these services may be provided by entities located outside the European Union (such as Google, Mailchimp, WordPress, etc.).
Modaes strives to use secure tools whose servers are preferably located in Spain or, failing that, in another EU Member State, or that comply with European data protection regulations, in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations of the Spanish Data Protection Agency, the European Commission, and applicable international data transfer agreements, including certification under the Privacy Shield list.
Most of these third parties declare compliance with the European data protection regulations and even maintain their servers and/or headquarters in Europe. Nevertheless, if an international transfer of data is necessary, your acceptance of this Privacy Policy implies that you explicitly consent to such transfer, having been duly informed.
Security Measures Applied to Personal Data Processing
To protect users' personal data, Modaes ensures—both internally and through its data processors—that appropriate technical and organizational measures are applied in accordance with the state of the art. These measures take into account the scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to data subjects' rights and freedoms, in order to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of data processing systems and services.
Modaes confirms its capability to act swiftly and effectively to restore the availability and access to personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident. To this end, Modaes maintains an internal incident log, an incident response plan, and the necessary backup management and control activities to guarantee data recovery in case of a security breach.
Modaes states that it stores users’ personal data in encrypted form on secure servers, protected against common attack vectors and located in Spain, the EU, or, in the case of storage outside the EU, only after verifying compliance with applicable European frameworks (e.g., Privacy Shield or equivalent).
Notification of Personal Data Breaches
In the event of a personal data breach, unless the breach is unlikely to pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Modaes will notify the Spanish Data Protection Agency within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident. The notification will describe the nature of the breach, its potential consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address it. Where possible, the notification will also include the categories and approximate number of data subjects and data records affected.
Furthermore, if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, Modaes will notify the affected data subjects as soon as possible, describing the possible consequences and measures taken or proposed to mitigate the breach.
Exercising your rights
Users may withdraw their consent at any time and/or exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability as provided under the European data protection regulations. To do so, they must send an email to info@modaes.com or a postal letter to MODAES INFORMACIÓN, S.L.U. (Modaes), at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 690, Local 1, Barcelona, Spain. The request must specify the right being exercised and include a copy of a valid ID document or other identification that proves the user's identity, including electronic identification where applicable.
Right of access
Grants the user the ability to obtain information about their personal data being processed, including the purpose, categories of data, retention period, recipients, profiling logic (if any), and applicable rights. Modaes will respond within one month, unless the request was already made in the past six months or is legally restricted.
Right to rectification
Allows the user to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data. Supporting documentation is required. Modaes must respond within one month, extendable by two additional months if necessary.
Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Allows deletion of data when processing is unlawful, the user withdraws consent, or the data is no longer needed. Exceptions apply for legal obligations, public interest, or the exercise/defense of legal claims.
Right to object
Users may object to processing based on direct marketing, profiling, or legitimate interest. Modaes must stop processing unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds.
Right to restriction of processing
Users may request limitation of processing when contesting accuracy, opposing deletion, or requiring data for legal claims. Modaes may lift the restriction in specific cases (e.g., legal obligations or consent).
Right to data portability
Allows users to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where processing is automated and based on consent or contract. Not applicable if it affects others’ rights or is technically unfeasible.
Modaes will respond to all such requests as soon as possible and, in any case, within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by up to two additional months, with notice provided within the first month.
How we share information with third parties – Data processors
We share personal information with third parties in order to provide services or carry out business operations as described in this Privacy Policy, or when we believe such sharing is permitted or required by law. In most cases, the data we share is non-personal, anonymous, or statistical in nature. When we do share personal information, it is in accordance with the data privacy and security requirements previously disclosed in each case.
Modaes informs users that their personal data may be disclosed to:
i. Companies and/or associations linked to Modaes, particularly companies within the CINNAMON NEWS group, when necessary for the provision of services, sales and marketing administration and management, technical support and customer service, and business and product development. We require all our employees to follow our internal privacy and information security policies.
ii. Companies and/or associations associated with Modaes: our business partners and third-party service providers who provide joint services with other companies and/or brands, content delivery, software support, system and platform management, direct marketing services, cloud hosting, advertising, data analytics, or event management. In such cases, data will only be shared when Modaes has obtained the user's explicit consent and has a contractual relationship with the data processor that ensures confidentiality, prohibits the use of personal data for purposes other than those described above, and enforces compliance with our internal privacy and information security policies.
iii. Authorities: when such disclosure is legally required or requested by competent authorities to respond to legal requests, criminal investigations of possible illegal activity, claims asserting that content violates third-party rights, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of others. In the case of a merger, sale, restructuring, acquisition, joint venture, assignment, or any other transfer—either total or partial—of our business, assets, or shares, Modaes may share users’ personal data with the relevant authorities or acquiring entity.
If Modaes’ rights over the website are transferred to another entity, Modaes commits to establishing an agreement whereby the new data controller assumes this Privacy Policy. If personal data is to be used in a way that conflicts with this policy, users will be notified beforehand.
