We share personal information with third parties in order to provide services on the terms described in this Privacy Policy or where we believe it is permitted or required by law. When we share personal information, we do so in accordance with privacy and data security requirements.

FERSA informs the data subject that some of our suppliers may process their personal data as data processors, for example, in the case of:

• Third-party service providers, when necessary for the provision of services, coordination of activities, internal management, approval of suppliers, software support, systems and platforms, cloud hosting services and electronic communications. In such cases, access to your data by third parties will only be carried out when FERSA maintains a contractual relationship with the data processor that guarantees confidentiality, the non-use of the personal information of users that we make available for purposes other than those indicated above, as well as compliance with our internal privacy and information security regulations.
• 
  When said transfer of data is covered by a legal obligation or is required by the competent authorities to respond to legal requirements, criminal investigation of a possible illegal activity or claims that a content infringes the rights of third parties or to protect the rights, property or security of third parties, in the event of merger, sale, restructuring, acquisition, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposal, total or partial, of our business, assets or shares (e.g., transfers to the AEAT, TGSS...).

Likewise, FERSA BEARINGS, S.A. may transfer information to companies belonging to the same Group for business management purposes.

 

In some cases FERSA uses third-party tools and services for the management of services. Some of these services may be owned by third parties resident outside the European Economic Area.

FERSA tries to use secure tools whose servers are preferably located in Spain or, failing that, in a member state of the European Union, or which comply with European legislation in accordance with the guides and recommendations of the Spanish Data Protection Agency, the European Commission and the Community agreements of reference in matters of international data transfer.

In the event that the international transfer of data is necessary, acceptance of this Privacy Policy means that as a User you expressly consent to the aforementioned transfer.

Specifically, FERSA plans to make an international transfer of data to the company of the same group that is located in the United States as a result of the business collaboration between the Fersa Group. International data transfers may also be made to the same destination as a consequence of the contracting of IT platforms with external suppliers.

In these cases, given that the United States offers the same confidentiality guarantees as those required in Spain (‘Safe Harbor’), it is a secure transfer.

 

Users may at any time withdraw their consent and/or exercise their rights of access, rectification, suppression, limitation, opposition and portability provided for in the European regulations on personal data protection, by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or by post to FERSA, Polígono Calle Bari nº 18, 50197, Zaragoza (Spain).

In this case, the User must indicate the right he/she wishes to exercise and attach a copy of his/her ID card or any other valid identification documentation that legitimises him/her to do so, including that which allows electronic identification.

In the event that your rights are not effectively exercised, you may file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

 

The user declares that the personal data provided to FERSA are truthful.

As a user you should be aware that you are solely responsible for any damage or harm, direct or indirect, that may be caused to FERSA as the party responsible for this website or to a third party if you send us false data or data on third parties without their prior consent, causing deception, damage or harm.

So that we can keep your data accurate and up to date, we ask the user to inform us of any variation that may occur in the data provided.

 

Fersa prohibits the sending of personal data through this website or the means indicated therein by users under 14 years of age. In the event that FERSA detects users who may be under the aforementioned age, it will not process their data and therefore will not respond to their requests.

FERSA reserves the right to request a copy of their ID card or equivalent document that accredits their legitimacy in the event of having well-founded suspicions about the User being under the age of majority.

 

In order to protect the personal data of users, FERSA ensures itself and controls its data processors in the application of technical and organisational measures appropriate to the state of the art to protect personal data, taking into account the scope, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of data subjects, trying to be able to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of the systems and services of the processing.

Our information security policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and updated to meet our business needs, technological changes and regulatory requirements.

 

FERSA is based in Spain, so the content of this Privacy Policy has been drawn up in accordance with Spanish legislation and applicable European Union regulations.

By accepting this Privacy Policy, you accept that claims or complaints against this entity arising from or related to the use of this website and more specifically to the processing of your personal data will be resolved by the court of competent jurisdiction located in Zaragoza. If it is FERSA that has to make any kind of claim, it will do so before the competent court of the User's domicile or at FERSA's domicile (Calle Bari nº 18, 50197, Zaragoza (Spain)) in the case of legal persons or non-consumer professionals.
