Period for which the personal data will be stored
Users' personal data will be kept for the duration of pre-contractual negotiations or requests for information, and in the case of commercial communications, for as long as you do not object to receiving such information. When entering into contract with us, personal data must be kept the legal prescription periods required by Spanish regulations, 6 years.
In determining the appropriate retention period for personal data, we also rely on the quantity, type and sensitivity of the personal data stored, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and the applicable legal requirements.
Lawfulness to process personal data
The following legal bases of lawfulness apply to the processing of your personal data:
- Consent: for data relating to requests for newsletter subscriptions and commercial communications.
- Performance of our legal relationship or contract, when you enter into a contract with us for any of our services.

Our legitimate interest is to be able to guarantee business continuity, establishing contact channels that allow us to offer our services and understand the needs and expectations of the market, in addition to improving the level of satisfaction of the Users and, therefore, improve our offer of services and brands.

- Public Administrations and Bodies when required by tax, labor or other applicable regulations.
International data transfers may also occur as a result of the above transfers/communications if the recipient companies are located outside the European Economic Area, for which Akommo+ will use the standard contractual clauses adapted by the European Commission and the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme, as a guarantee for transfers to countries that do not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission.
