The following terms are used throughout this Privacy Policy with the meanings set out below:

• Personal Data: any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
• Processing: any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, consultation, use or deletion.

• Service: the website and the legal, tax and real estate services provided by the firm.
• Usage Data: data collected automatically when you browse the Service, such as IP address or pages visited.
• Cookies: small files stored on your device that allow the website to recognise your browser and remember certain information.

3. What personal data do we collect?

3.1. Data you provide to us directly

When you fill in our contact form, request a quotation or engage our services, we may collect:

• First name and surname
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Postal address and nationality
• Identification data (NIE, passport, DNI) where required to provide the service
• Financial and property information relevant to your case
• The content of your message or enquiry

Some of this data is strictly necessary to provide our services. If you do not supply it, we may be unable to process your matter — for example, we cannot apply for your NIE in Torrevieja or handle a property transaction without valid identification documents.

3.2. Special categories of data

In the course of certain legal matters — family law, labour disputes or criminal proceedings — we may need to process special categories of data under Article 9 GDPR, such as health data or data relating to criminal convictions. We only process this data where it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and always under strict professional secrecy.

3.3. Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically when you browse the Service. It may include your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, the time spent on each page, device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

When you access the Service from a mobile device, we may also collect the device type, its unique ID, its operating system and the type of mobile browser you use.

3.4. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies — including tags and scripts — to operate the website, remember your preferences and analyse how the Service is used.

Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. We use the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies. Essential for the website to function, to authenticate users and to prevent fraudulent use. These do not require your consent.
• Preference cookies. Allow the website to remember choices such as your language selection.
• Analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors interact with the website so we can improve it. These require your consent.

You can accept, reject or configure cookies at any time through our cookie banner. Full details are available in our Cookies Policy.

You may also manage cookies directly in your browser: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect how the website works.

4. Why we process your data and on what legal basis

We never process personal data without a lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR. The table below sets out each purpose and its corresponding legal basis.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5. Professional secrecy

As a law firm, we are bound by professional secrecy under Article 542.3 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary and the General Statute of the Spanish Legal Profession. All information you share with us in the context of a legal matter is treated as strictly confidential, is protected by legal professional privilege and will never be disclosed to third parties except where the law expressly requires it.

This duty of confidentiality binds every member of our team and continues indefinitely, even after your case has been closed.

6. How long do we keep your data?

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, and thereafter for the periods required by Spanish law:

• Website enquiries that do not result in an engagement: up to twelve months from the last contact.
• Client files and case documentation: for the duration of the professional relationship and for the applicable limitation periods for professional liability thereafter.
• Anti-money laundering identification records: ten years, as required by Law 10/2010.
• Accounting and commercial records: six years, under Article 30 of the Spanish Commercial Code.
• Tax records: four years, under the General Tax Law 58/2003.
• Marketing data: until you withdraw your consent or object to the processing.

Once these periods expire, the data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

7. Who do we share your data with?

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it for third-party advertising purposes. We may disclose it only in the following situations:

• Service providers acting as data processors: hosting, IT maintenance, email, accounting software and website analytics providers. Each is bound by a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR.
• Public authorities and courts: tax authorities, land registries, notaries, town halls and courts, where necessary to carry out the services you have engaged us for.
• Financial institutions, where required to complete a transaction on your instructions.
• Legal obligations: where disclosure is required to comply with the law, to respond to a valid request from a public authority, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition or transfer of assets, we will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

8. International data transfers

Your data is processed within the European Economic Area. Where a service provider processes data outside the EEA, we ensure that one of the safeguards set out in Chapter V GDPR applies:

• An adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission; or
• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, supplemented where necessary by additional technical and organisational measures.

You may request a copy of the safeguards applied by writing to our data protection contact address.

9. Your data protection rights

Under the GDPR and the LOPDGDD you have the following rights:

• Access: to obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and to receive a copy of it.
• Rectification: to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
• Erasure: to have your data deleted where it is no longer necessary, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Restriction of processing: to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Data portability: to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
• Objection: to object to processing based on our legitimate interest, including profiling.
• Withdrawal of consent: at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Not to be subject to automated decisions producing legal effects concerning you.

9.1. How to exercise your rights

Write to privacy@antonasociados.es or to Avenida Alfredo Nobel, 8-12, 03183 Torrevieja, Alicante, indicating the right you wish to exercise and attaching a copy of your ID document or NIE. Exercising your rights is free of charge and we will respond within one month, extendable by two further months where the request is complex.

9.2. Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe your rights have not been properly addressed, you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency, the competent supervisory authority: Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, C/ Jorge Juan 6, 28001 Madrid, or through its electronic office.

10. Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you. Every legal matter handled by the firm is assessed by a qualified professional.

11. Security of your personal data

We apply the technical and organisational measures required by Article 32 GDPR, including encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), access control, role-based permissions, regular backups, software updates and confidentiality commitments signed by all staff.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we use commercially reasonable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Personal data breaches

In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Spanish Data Protection Agency within 72 hours, as required by Article 33 GDPR. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk, we will also inform you directly and without undue delay.

13. Minors

Our Service is not directed at minors. Under Article 7 of the LOPDGDD, only persons aged 14 or over may give valid consent to the processing of their personal data in Spain. For minors under 14, consent must be given by a parent or legal guardian.

If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with personal data without the appropriate consent, please contact us and we will delete it.

14. Links to other websites

Our Service may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including our profiles on LinkedIn, Instagram and Google Maps.

We have no control over the content or the privacy practices of these third-party sites and we assume no responsibility for them. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of every website you visit.

15. Applicable law and jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy is governed by Spanish law. Any dispute arising from its interpretation or application shall be submitted to the Courts and Tribunals of Torrevieja, Alicante, unless a mandatory rule provides otherwise.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Where the changes are material, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the Service before they take effect.
