We may also use the services of service providers in connection with the Project, such as hosting service providers. These providers need to have limited access to the Personal Data for the provision of their service, acting as Data Processors. In these cases, we guarantee that we sign specific agreements with such service providers as required by law, and they are required to have the same or a higher level of security to protect the information provided to them.

5. DO WE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA?

Some of our service providers are located in the United States or other countries located outside the European Economic Area. The services of these providers imply the existence of an international transfer of your personal data, which theoretically could mean a lower degree of protection than that contained in European legislation. However, all such providers have signed the corresponding standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission by which they guarantee that appropriate and sufficient safeguards are applied in order to have the same protection standards as in the EU. Therefore, the use of these providers does not result in a lower level of protection of your personal data than the use of suppliers located in the European Union.

6. WHICH RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE REGARDING THE PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You can exercise the following rights that the law guarantees you in relation to the processing of your personal data:
