3. Legal Basis for Processing

OHLA processes Users’ personal data on the basis of the following legal bases, depending on the purpose pursued in each case:

  • Managing enquiries submitted through email: processing is based on the data subject’s consent, which is understood to be given when they voluntarily submit their enquiry and the contact details necessary to address it (Article 6.1.a GDPR). When the enquiry is related to an existing contractual relationship or to a request for information prior to entering into such a relationship, the legal basis shall be the performance of the contract or the application of pre-contractual measures requested by the data subject (Article 6.1.b GDPR). Subsidiarily, OHLA may rely on its legitimate interest in handling and responding to those who contact the company (Article 6.1.f GDPR).
  • Managing users’ access to the website: the processing of browsing data is based on OHLA’s legitimate interest in ensuring the security, integrity and proper functioning of its websites, applications, digital platforms and communication networks, as well as in preventing misuse or fraudulent use thereof (Article 6.1.f GDPR). In the case of the installation of cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for the provision of the service, the legal basis shall be the user’s consent, obtained through the cookie settings panel, in accordance with Article 6.1.a GDPR and Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce. Likewise, certain processing may be based on compliance with legal obligations regarding information security (Article 6.1.c GDPR).
  • Registration of blog users and newsletter delivery: the legal basis is the express consent of the data subject, given at the time of registration and subscription, in accordance with Article 6.1.a GDPR and Article 21 of the LSSI. This consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to its withdrawal, through the unsubscribe link provided in each communication or through the channels for exercising rights indicated in this policy.
  • Registration of users on the company’s social networks: processing is based on the data subject’s consent, expressed by voluntarily providing their identifying and contact data when following corporate profiles or participating in communications, events or other activities promoted by OHLA through such channels (Article 6.1.a GDPR). OHLA may also process such data on the basis of its legitimate interest in managing its institutional presence on social networks and maintaining its relationship with users who interact with its profiles (Article 6.1.f GDPR).
  • Management of candidates in recruitment processes: the processing of contact details and CV information provided by candidates is based on the application of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject, materialized through the submission of their application to a recruitment process (Article 6.1.b GDPR). The retention of the CV in the company’s candidate database for consideration in future recruitment processes shall be based on the data subject’s consent (Article 6.1.a GDPR). Where necessary, OHLA shall process candidates’ data to comply with its legal obligations in employment, occupational risk prevention and equality and integration of persons with disabilities (Articles 6.1.c and, where applicable, 9.2.b GDPR).

Once the indicated purposes have been fulfilled, the data shall remain duly blocked for the limitation period of any legal obligations and actions that may arise from the processing, being made available exclusively to judges and courts, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the competent Public Administrations. Once this period has elapsed, the data shall be securely deleted.
