This information statement (hereafter, ‘privacy information’) is intended to inform our users about our practices related to the collection and use of the personal data regarding them.

We invite our users to read the following information carefully in order to understand our reasoning and practices governing the processing of personal data.
1.1. Data provided voluntarily
1.1.a. In the fulfilment of a contract that the users are a party to, or in the fulfilment of precontractual measures adopted upon request of the users (for example, request for contact through the ‘Contact us’ form on our site, request to subscribe to our newsletter, etc.), our users can, using our site or other contact channels (for example, email), voluntarily provide their personal data or information and documents containing personal data.
1.1.b. ITS will process all the aforementioned data in compliance with applicable law, assuming that they are referred to the users or third parties who have expressly authorised the users to provide it based on an appropriate legal basis that legalises the processing of the data in question. In such a case, the users are acting as independent processors, assuming all obligations and responsibilities under the law. Accordingly, the users confer on this point the broadest indemnity regarding any dispute, claim, request for remuneration for damages caused by processing, etc., that may reach us from third parties whose personal data has been processed through the use of this site in violation of applicable law.

1.2.a. Our website’s computer systems collect some personal data the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This is information that is not collected in order to be associated with the users, but that by their very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow their identification. These include the IP addresses or domain names of the devices used to connect to our site, the addresses in URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used in submitting the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response provided by the server (success, error, etc.) and other parameters related to the user’s operating system and computing environment.
