Categories of Personal Data
The categories of data processed on PDFSignify are limited to identification data only. Under no circumstances are special categories of personal data processed within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent. PDFSignify undertakes to obtain the express and verifiable consent of the User for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
The User shall have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent shall be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent shall not affect the use of the Website.
When the User must or may provide data through forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if the completion of any of them is mandatory because such data is essential for the proper execution of the operation.
Purposes of Data Processing
Personal data is collected and managed by PDFSignify in order to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User, or to maintain the relationship established through the forms the User fills in, or to respond to a request or inquiry.
The data may also be used for commercial personalization, operational and statistical purposes, and activities inherent to PDFSignify's business, as well as for the extraction, storage of data, and marketing studies to adapt the content offered to the User and to improve the quality, operation, and navigation of the Website.
At the time personal data is obtained, the User will be informed about the specific purpose(s) for which the personal data will be used.
Data Retention Periods
Personal data shall only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of its processing, or until the User requests its deletion.
At the time personal data is obtained, the User will be informed about the period for which the personal data will be stored or, when that is not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

The User's personal data will not be shared with third parties.
In any case, at the time personal data is obtained, the User will be informed about the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.
Personal Data of Minors
In accordance with Articles 8 of the GDPR and 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, only persons over 14 years of age may give their consent for the lawful processing of their personal data by PDFSignify. If the data subject is under 14 years of age, the consent of parents or guardians is required for processing, and it shall only be considered lawful to the extent authorized by them.
Secrecy and Security of Personal Data
PDFSignify undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, to ensure the security of personal data and prevent the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed, or unauthorized communication or access to such data.
The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data is transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User, and vice versa, is fully encrypted.
However, since PDFSignify cannot guarantee the impenetrability of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others who may fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay when a personal data security breach occurs that is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. In accordance with Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach is any breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data.
Personal data shall be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and ensure through legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates, and any person to whom it makes the information accessible.
