4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your data and we do not share it for marketing. We only share it with:

• Service providers that help us run the website and enquiry form (our hosting and form provider, Netlify), acting as data processors under contract.
• Public authorities, courts or third parties where we are required to by law or in order to handle your legal matter.

5. International transfers

Some of our providers (for example our hosting and form provider) may process data on servers outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, the transfer is protected by the appropriate safeguards required by the GDPR, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep it

Enquiry messages are kept only for as long as needed to deal with your request, and then for a reasonable period in case you contact us again. If you become a client, your file is kept for the period required by Spanish law and professional rules. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see section 8).

7. How we protect it

The website is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection and we apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse or unauthorised access.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to correct it, to erase it, to object to or restrict its use, to withdraw consent at any time, and to receive a copy of it (portability). To exercise any of these rights, write to mm@mtcspain.com. You can also complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, www.aepd.es) if you believe your rights have not been respected.
